Keys
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
accidentally lock your keys inside the ve-
hicle.
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 important papers.
