The power door lock switch can be reset
in the following ways.
Turn the engine switch to “ON”.
Unlock both doors with the key or wire-
less remote control transmitter.
Unlock the driver ’s door or passenger ’s
door with the inside lock knob, and
then unlock both doors with the power
door lock switch.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING
You can set or cancel the following au-
tomatic door locking function:
Locking linked with the shift position
(vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion only)
All doors are automatically locked when
the selector lever is moved out of “P”
position.
Be sure to apply the parking brake when
performing the following operations.
To set the locking linked with the shift
position:
1. Close all doors and turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
2. Shift the selector lever to the “P” posi- tion.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the en- gine switch to the “ON” position, press
and hold the driver’s side power door
lock switch in the lock position for 5
seconds and then release.
The doors will be locked and unlocked
to indicate that the function is set.
To cancel the function, do the above op-
eration again. AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCKING
You can select the following functions:
Unlocking linked with the shift posi-
tion (vehicles with automatic trans-
mission only)
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the selector lever is moved to
“P” position.
Unlocking linked with the driver ’s
door
All doors are automatically unlocked
when the driver ’s door is opened within
10 seconds after the engine switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, or the key is removed.
You can set or cancel the automatic
door unlocking functions:
Be sure to apply the parking brake when
performing the following operations.

SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position and remove the key.
The indicator light will start flashing when
the key is removed from the engine
switch. (See “Engine immobilizer system”
on page 14 for details.)
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock both doors, trunk and hood.
The indicator light will remain on when
both doors, trunk and hood are closed and
locked. The system will automatically be set after
30 seconds. When the system is set, the
indicator light will start flashing again.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.
CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
The system will be cancelled by the fol-
lowing ways.Any of the doors are unlocked with the
key or wireless remote control.
The trunk is opened with the wireless
remote control transmitter.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON”
position.
If the tail lights come on for 2 seconds,
the theft deterrent system has been
alarmed. Check to see if there is any
abnormality with your vehicle. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will sound the alarm under
the following conditions:
If any of the doors are forcibly un-
locked or opened, or if the trunk or
hood is forcibly opened without the key
or wireless remote control transmitter
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
If the ignition is hotwired
The indicator light will come on when the
system is activated.
If any of the door is unlocked without the
key or wireless remote control transmitter
and the key is not in the engine switch,

The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:1. Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position with the trip meter A
reading shown. (For details, see
“Odometer and two trip meters” on
page 131 in this Section.)
2. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position while holding down the trip
meter reset knob.
Hold down the knob for at least 5 sec-
onds. The odometer indicates “000000”
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
continue flashing.
(o) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer acts as a reminder to remove
the key when you open the driver’s door
with the engine switch in the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATORS (except the low fuel level
warning light and low windshield
washer fluid level warning light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the doors. The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go
off.
4. Turn the engine switch to “ON”, but do not start the engine.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light should
come on. The “ABS”, “VSC” and tire
pressure warning lights, engine oil re-
placement reminder light, “TRAC OFF”
and slip indicator lights go off after a
few seconds. The SRS warning light
goes off after about 6 seconds.
If any service reminder indicator or warn-
ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

Pushing the tire pressure warning reset
switch should not turn off the tire pressure
warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the light.
The spare tire (except compact spare tire)
is also equipped with the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter. The tire
pressure warning light will turn on if the
tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is
low. If a tire goes flat, even though the
flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the
warning light does not turn off. Replace
the spare tire with the repaired tire and
adjust the proper tire inflation pressure.
The tire pressure warning light will turn off
after a few minutes.
The compact spare tire is not equipped
with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the warning
light will not turn off even though the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire. Re-
place the spare tire with the repaired tire
and adjust the proper tire inflation pressur-
e. The tire pressure warning light will turn
off after a few minutes.CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label
(tire and load information label), you
should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS–
tire pressure warning system) that il-
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light) when one
or more of your tires is significantly
under inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
