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 can be locked without
a key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally
lock your keys inside the vehicle. 2. Sub key (gray)—
This key will not work in the trunk lid
lock release lever and glove box.
To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking,
leave the sub key with the attendant.
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.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.

1. Lock switch
2. Unlock switch
3. Alarm switch
4. Trunk lid open switchThe wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock both doors,
open the trunk lid or activate the alarm
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
battery” on page 19.
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 320 in
Section 4.)
