Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. 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 trans-
ponder chip.
Since the side doors and back door
can be locked without a key, you
should always carry a spare master
key in case you accidentally lock your
keys inside the vehicle.
2. Sub key (gray)—
This key also works in every lock.
When using valet parking, leave the
sub key with the attendant.
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.
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
z 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.
