4 Introduction


THE NEW WORLD OFANTI-THEFT TECHNOLOGYThis Toyota vehicle may be equipped withan electronic “immobilizer” anti-theftsystem. When the key is inserted into theignition switch it transmits an electroniccode to an immobilizer computer. Theengine will only start if the code in the keymatches the code in the immobilizer. If thecode does not match, the immobilizerdisables the ignition and fuel systems.While an exact physical copy of the keywill open the door and allow retrieval ofitems locked in the vehicle, it won’t startthe vehicle unless the key has the samecode as the immobilizer.

SECURITYFor security purposes, access to keycodes and service procedures forelectronically registering replacement keysis restricted. Only a Toyota dealer orcertain bonded/registered independentlocksmiths can generate replacement keys.

The Immobilizer KeyW

Introduction 5


REPLACING THE KEYUpon purchase, each vehicle should havetwo master keys, one valet key and analuminum tag with a key-code imprintedon it.

To generate a fully functional replacementkey (one that will both open the doors andstart the engine), one of the master keysis required. To make a key that will openthe door for retrieval of items lockedinside the vehicle, the valet key oraluminum key-code tag can be used. If amaster key or the aluminum key-code tagis not available, a Toyota dealer or certainregistered locksmiths can obtain the keycode from a restricted-access database.These businesses can also access aservice utility to reprogram theimmobilizer if all registered master keyshave been lost. If a Toyota dealer is notavailable, please refer to www.aloa.org tofind a bonded/registered locksmith whoperforms high security key service.

KEEPING THE KEY SAFEReplacing an immobilizer key may becostly. It is advisable to keep a sparemaster key and the aluminum key-codetag in a safe place. If you record thekey-code in more than one place, do notrecord it in a way that can be easilyidentified and associated with the vehicle.For example, don’t leave the codesomewhere that can be accessed by avalet. It is wise to keep a copy of thekey-code outside of the vehicle.

If the vehicle was delivered with less thanall three keys and the aluminum key-codetag, consider having the Toyota dealer or aqualified independent automotivelocksmith make a duplicate key before youneed it.
