1.1.4. Keys
| Two types of keys are applied to the car: 1 – the main key (black) which approaches each lock (this key is required to the dealer of Toyota to make a new key with the built-in scheme of the transponder); 2 – an additional key (gray) – it does not approach a box for gloves and to a luggage carrier. |
In a head of the main and additional key there is a transponder chip which is very important for functioning of system therefore be careful not to lose these keys. If you make a key duplicate independently, then you will not be able to cancel this system of blocking and to start the engine.
As doors can be locked without key, it is always necessary to carry with itself a spare main key in case suddenly you will close keys in the car.
When using the key containing a transponder chip observe the following precautionary measures.
| At start of the engine do not assume that the ring was on the key handle, and you do not press on it a ring. Otherwise the engine can not be started or will stop right after start. |
At start of the engine do not allow contact of a key with other keys with a transponder chip (including with keys of other cars) and do not press the key handle other key. |
Otherwise the engine can not be started or will stop right after start. If it occurred, take a key, and then again insert it, having removed from a ring other keys with the transponder or having closed them a hand then start the engine.
| Do not bend the key handle. |
Do not cover the key handle with any material which can prevent free passing of electromagnetic signals.
You do not knock strongly a key in other objects.
Subject a key to long influence of high temperature, for example, leave it on an instrument guard or a cowl under a direct sunlight.
Do not put a key in water and do not wash out it in ultrasonic installation.
Do not use a key together with electromagnetic materials.
Plate with number of a key
| Number of a key is shown on a plate. You store it in the reliable place, for example, in a wallet, but not in the car. If keys were lost or additional keys were necessary, the dealer of Toyota can make duplicates on the basis of number of a key. We recommend to write down number of a key and to store in the reliable place. |
