Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.1. Master keys (black)—These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need one of them to make a new key
with a built −in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box and armrest door in
the rear seat.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these
keys. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the system
or start the engine. To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking, leave
the sub key with the attendant.NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:

When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring resting
on the key grip and do not press
the key ring against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts.

KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by a Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.The key consists of an electronic key
and a mechanical key. The mechanical
key is for emergency use. If the elec-
tronic key does not operate, you can
open the driver ’s door using the me-
chanical key.1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock or unlock all the doors and can open
the trunk by using the wireless remote
control function or entry function of the
smart key system.
2. Mechanical keys—These keys can lock or unlock the driver’s door, glove box
and armrest door in the rear seat. Spare keys should not be left in the
cabin. In the event that a spare key is
left in the cabin, the smart key system
will remain actuated even after the
doors have been locked. Under these
circumstances, the trunk can be opened
even after the driver has exited and
locked the vehicle, increasing the dan-
ger of theft. (Refer to “OPENING
TRUNK WITH SMART KEY SYSTEM” on
page 43 in this Section.)
To protect items locked in the trunk or the
glove box when using valet parking, lock
the trunk opener switch and leave the
electronic key with the attendant. Keep the
mechanical key with you. For details about
locking the trunk opener switch, see
“—Luggage security system” on page 45
in this Section.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the electronic
keys. These chips are needed to enable
the system to function correctly, so be
careful not to lose these keys.
