Keys
The master key works in every lock.
The subkey will not work in the glove-
box.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the subkey with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door can
be locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally 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.

Side doors
LOCKING WITH KEY
Turn the key toward the front of the
vehicle to lock and towards the back to
unlock.
Both doors lock and unlock simultaneously
with either door. In the driver’s door lock,
turning the key once will unlock the driv-
er’s door and twice in succession will un-
lock both doors simultaneously.
LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK KNOB
Turn the lock knob forward to lock and
backward to unlock the door.
Closing the door with the lock knob in the
lock position will also lock the door. Be
careful not to lock your keys in the ve-
hicle.The door cannot be locked if you
leave the key in the ignition switch.
LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR LOCK
SWITCH
To lock both of the doors simultaneous-
ly, push the power door lock switch on
the LOCK side. Pushing on the UN-
LOCK side will unlock them.

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.
Power windows
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the ignition
switch is in the ”ON” position. However,
if both side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side door is opened.
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 pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.
Automatic operation (to open only): Pull
the switch completely down and then re-
lease it. The window will fully open. To
stop the window partway, lightly push the
switch up and then release it.

OPERATING THE PASSENGER’s WIN-
DOW
Use the switch on the passenger’s
door. The driver’s door also has a
switch that controls the passenger’s
window.
The window moves as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.
If you push in the window lock button on
the driver’s door, the passenger’s window
cannot be operated.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
DAlways make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
DWhen small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
DNever leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
