Keys - Toyota 2006 Hilux Mk6 Owner's Manual

Keys (with engine immobilizer
system)
12h056
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys—These keys work in ev-
ery lock.
2. Sub key—This key does not work in
the glove box.
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.

Your Toyota dealer will need one of mas-
ter keys to make a new key with a built-
in transponder chip.
To protect items locked in the glove box
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 key
in case you accidentally lock your keys
inside the vehicle.
