KEY PLATE
Type A—
Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master key—This key works in every
lock.
2. Subkey—This key will not work in the
trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the
subkey with the attendant.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Type B—
This key works in every lock.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare key in case you accidentally
lock your key 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.
You should also put a copy of the key
number with your importane papers.

REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”

This feature allows you to lock a rear door
so it can be opened from the outside only,
not from inside. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.

CAUTION
!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. 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 during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally. The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” posi-
tion.
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver’s door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
Automatic operation (to open only):
Push the switch completely down and
then release it. The window will fully open.
To stop the window partway, lightly pull the
switch up and then release it.
