01MY MR2(U) L/O 0008 Keys A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been filled 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. To protect things locked in the glove box or luggage space when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant. Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master key (black)-This key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need it to make you a new key with built-in transponder chip. 2. Sub key (gray)-This key will not work in the glove box and luggage space. Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle. SB12039 SY12001 NOTICE When using a key containing a transponder 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. 8 2001 MR2 (OM17482U)
