2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder Owners Manual - Page 8

03 07.07 Keys 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. To protect items locked in the glove box or luggage space when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant. 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 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 transponder chip. 2. Sub key (gray)-This key will not work in the glove box and luggage space. 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. 28 2003 MR2 from Aug. '03 Prod. (OM17511U)
