multaneously. At this time, one beep will

This double switch operation to unlock all
the side doors and back door can be
changed to a single switch operation. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.
When all the side doors and back door
are unlocked simultaneously with a wire-
less remote control transmitter, the center
interior light, personal lights and ignition
switch light come on for about 15 seconds
before fading out, even if the door is not
opened. (For details, see “Interior lights”
on page 135, “Personal lights” on page
136 and “Ignition switch light” on page
137 in Section 1−5.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally locked again. At this time, one beep
will be heard, and the turn signal lights
flash once.
The timing for the automatic door lock
function can be changed. For details, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the switch
and then push again. The wireless door locking or unlocking
function can be erased. For details, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
You can switch the beep on and off. (The
beep is on initially and after battery re-
placement.)

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” or “PANIC” switch
twice within 10 seconds.
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.
Check the beep on/off operation by push-
ing the transmitter switch after you finish
this procedure. If the beep does not oper-
ate as expected, repeat this procedure
from step 1.

3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.

nal is disconnected and then recon-
nected when the system is set.

and flashes the headlights, tail lights and
turn signal lights, and turns on the interior
light.SETTING THE SYSTEM 1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
