NOTICE
Make sure the positive side and

tery are faced correctly.

rust.
Do not touch or move any compo-
nents inside of the transmitter, or

tion.
Be careful not to bend the electrode
of the transmitter battery insertion
and that dust or oils do not adhere

After replacing the battery, check that the
transmitter operates properly. If the trans-
mitter still does not operate properly, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power win-
dows, make sure he or she oper-
ates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn
it.
To lock: Turn the key clockwise.
If you turn the key fully clockwise, the
glass hatch will open. (See “Glass hatch”
on page 18 in this Section.)
To unlock: Turn the key counterclockwise.
To open the back door, pull the lock re-
lease lever.
Operating the power door lock switch or
wireless remote control transmitter simul-
taneously locks or unlocks the back door.
(See “Side doors” on page 8 in this Sec-
tion.)

ken.

ter.
Place the ignition switch in the “ON”
position. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
You can cancel the system as described
in “Stopping the alarm”.

tem will be set again.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
