Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.1. Master keys— These keys work in every lock.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside
the vehicle.
2. Sub key— This key will not work in the glove box
and trunk.
To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking,
leave the sub key with the attendant.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.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 trans-
ponder chip.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside
the vehicle.

1. “LOCK” switch
2. “UNLOCK” switch
3. Trunk lid open switch
4. “PANIC” switchThe wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the
doors, open the trunk lid or activate
the “PANIC” mode from a distance
within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the
vehicle.
When you operate any switch, push it
slowly and securely.
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage to the transmitter.
Do not leave the transmitter in places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.
Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed
information. If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance:
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see “—Replacing
transmitter battery” on page 20.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
avoid the possibility of theft, or an acci-
dent. (See “If you lose your wireless re-
mote control transmitter” on page 285 in
Section 4.)

rules. Operation is subject to the follow-
ing two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, includ-
ing interference that may cause unde-

transmitter for 1 second.
If the ignition key is in the “ON” position,
the trunk lid cannot be opened by the
trunk lid open switch.
To open the trunk lid with the master key,
see “Trunk lid” on page 28 in this Section.Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights
and interior light.

hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the “PANIC” switch
once again, unlock any door with the key
or transmitter, or turn the ignition key from
the “LOCK” to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “ON” position.You can switch the beep on and off. (The
beep is on initially and after battery re-
placement.)
To switch the beep on and off:
With the driver ’s door opened—
1. Insert the ignition key and remove it.
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the ignition key again and turn it to the “ON” posi-
tion.
3. After 10 seconds, push the same “LOCK”, “UNLOCK”, “PANIC” or trunk
lid open switch twice within 10 sec-
onds.
Two beep sounds inform you that the
program has been switched on or off.
If this procedure is not followed exactly,
the beep will not operate as expected.

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 death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates 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.
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.
To open the trunk lid from the outside,
insert the master key and turn it clock-
wise.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 243
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
The trunk lid can be opened with the wire-
less remote control transmitter, see
“—Opening trunk lid” on page 19 in this
Section.

CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
To open the trunk lid from the driver’s
seat, pull up on the lock release lever.
To deactivate this lock release lever from
opening the trunk lid, see “—Luggage se-
curity system” described below.This system prevents someone (with
the sub key) from gaining access to the
trunk by folding down a rear seat or
using the trunk lid lock release lever.
To protect valuables stored in the
trunk, do the following procedure.1. Open the trunk lid and push down the security lock levers to lock the
rear seatbacks.
After locking the rear seatbacks, try fold-
ing them down to make sure they are
securely locked, otherwise someone could
get into the trunk by folding down a rear
seat.

deactivate the trunk lid lock release
lever.
After the operation, try pulling up the
trunk lid lock release lever to make sure
it is locked.
NOTICE
Implement the above steps to maxi-
mize security of the luggage in the
trunk whenever the vehicle is unat-
tended.
If a person is locked in the trunk,
he/she can pull down the phosphores-
cent handle on the inside of trunk lid
to open the trunk lid.
The phosphorescent (glow −in −the −dark)
handle will continue to glow for a time
after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the
handle to stronger light will cause it to
glow longer.
CAUTION
Always lock the trunk lid and all
doors, and keep away the vehicle
keys out of children’s reach.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Unsupervised children
may lock themselves in the vehicle
or trunk and suffer serious injuries
or death.

CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or personal injury.

direction.
The amount of lumbar support will change
while the switch is pushed.

on page 243 in Section 2 for precautions
when loading luggage.

Make sure the luggage loaded in the
enlarged trunk will not damage the
webbing of the rear center seat belt
when the left seatback is folded
down.
