If your vehicle has Toyota optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on
each wheel will lock the tires and you must use a special key to unlock
them. This key will attach to the lug wrench. Register them with the
lock manufacturer by filling out the card provided in the glove com-
partment and mailing it in the ac companying envelope. If you lose this
key, consult your Toyota dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s order
form, which is with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on steel wheels. This includes
situations when the spare tire is inst alled. If the spare tire is installed,
one of the original lug nuts (which should still be in the vehicle) must
be installed in place of the wheel lock.
