Keys - Toyota Scion 2005 Owner's Manual

Keys

12T001
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys—These keys work in ev-
ery lock. Your Scion dealer will need
one of them to make a new key with
a built–in transponder chip.
2. Sub key—This key will 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.

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 master key in case you accidentally
lock your keys inside the vehicle.
For information on use of the wireless
remote control key, see "Wireless remote
control" on page 11.

NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder 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.
