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

ing. (See “Toyota vehicle intrusion

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.

semble the engine immobilizer sys-
tem. If any unauthorized changes or

tion of the system cannot be guaran-
