Inserting the registered key in the key slot
automatically cancels the system, which
enables the hybrid system to start. The

For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built−in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and master key. However, there is a limit
to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.
