The system is automatically set when the
key is removed from the ignition switch.
The indicator light will start flashing to
show the system is set.
If any of the following indicator conditions
occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
The indicator light stays on except
when the Toyota vehicle intrusion
protection system is setting or activat-
ing. (See “Toyota vehicle intrusion
protection system (TVIP)” on page 28
in this Section.)
The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
The indicator light flashes inconsistent-
ly.
Inserting the registered key in the ignition
switch automatically cancels the system,
which enables the engine to start. The
indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built −in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and master key. However, there is a limit
to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disas-
semble the engine immobilizer sys-
tem. If any unauthorized changes or
modifications are made, proper opera-
tion of the system cannot be guaran-
teed.

SETTING THE SYSTEM
You can set the system as follows.1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
The indicator light will start flashing when
the key is removed from the ignition
switch. (See “Engine immobilizer system”
on page 14 for details.) 2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close all the side doors, back door and glass hatch securely. 4. Lock all the side doors and back door
with the key or wireless remote control
transmitter. At this time, the TVIP indi-
cator light comes on.
The system will be set in 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator
light will start flashing again.
5. Make sure that the indicator light flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, it sounds the alarm for one
minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights. Also, the interior
lights turn on when the interior light
dial is in the door position.
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the side doors and back door will
be automatically locked again.
Any of the side doors, back door or
glass hatch are forcibly opened.
The alarm will activate when the back
door is unlocked with a key. Cancel the
system before unlocking the back door.
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired.
After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, until you cancel the system, the
system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.
Stopping the alarm
You can stop the alarm in either of the
following ways:
Unlock any of the side doors and back
door with the key or wireless remote
control transmitter.
Place the ignition switch in the “ON”
position.
