The master key works in every lock.
The subkey 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.
Keep the key number 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 important papers.

LOCKING WITH KEY

Vehicles with power door lock sys-
tem—All side doors and back door lock

the key once will unlock the driver’s door

side doors and back door simultaneously.

LOCKING WITH REAR DOOR CHILD-
PROTECTOR
Turn the lock knob to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
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.
