Master keys with silver ornament (Vehicles equipped with smart entry and start system)-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. Before you use these keys, be sure to read "Smart entry and start system" on page 23. 2. Master keys without silver ornament (Vehicles not equipped with smart entry and start system)-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. 3. Mechanical keys (attached to the master key)-These key work for the driver's door only. USING A MECHANICAL KEY When you use the mechanical key included on the side of the key, slide the lock knob in the arrow direction and take out the key as shown. To put the key back, slide the lock knob in the arrow direction and replace the key. Be sure to put the key back when not in use. 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. 18
