Keys (without engine immobilizer system)
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.
- Master keys—These keys work in every lock.
- Sub key—This key will not work in the glove box.
To protect items locked in the glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number.
We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place.
Keys (with engine immobilizer system)
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.
- 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 transponder chip.
- Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box.
10
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.
To protect items locked in the glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

NOTICE
When using a key containing a transponder 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.
X12123
◆When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of other vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after removing other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.
11
X12124
◆Do not bend the key grip.
◆Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnetic waves. ◆Do not knock the key hard against other objects. ◆Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood under direct sunlight. ◆Do not put the key in water or wash it in an ultrasonic washer. ◆Do not use the key with electromagnetic materials.

Engine immobilizer system
X12125
The engine immobilizer system is a theft prevention system. When you insert the key in the ignition switch, the transponder chip in the key's head transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will start only when the electronic code in the chip corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle.
X12202
The system is automatically set when the key is removed from the ignition switch. The indicator light will start flashing to show the system is set.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer.
- The indicator light stays on.
- The indicator light does not start flashing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
- The indicator light flashes inconsistently.
Inserting the registered key in the ignition switch automatically cancels the system, which enables the engine to start. The indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with built-in transponder chip, 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 system or start the engine.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disassemble the engine immobilizer system. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, proper operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.
