Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 Manual page 35

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 immobi-
lizer system or start the hybrid system.
To protect items locked in the glove box
when using valet parking, leave the sub
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.

NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
z When starting the hybrid system,
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 hybrid system
may not start, or may stop soon
after it starts.
z When starting the hybrid system,
do not use the key with other trans-
ponder keys around (including keys
of other vehicles) and do not press
other key plates against the key
grip. Otherwise the hybrid system
may not start, or may stop soon
after it starts. If this happens, re-
move the key once and then insert
it again after removing other trans-
ponder keys (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) from the ring or while
gripping or covering them with your
hand to start the hybrid system.
