lems (vehicles with a smart key system)
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer.
■When an electronic key is lost (vehicles with a smart key system)

cantly. Visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic
keys that were provided with your vehicle.
