If you lose your keys

You can purchase a new key at your
Toyota dealer if you can give them the
key number.
See the suggestion given in "Keys" in
Section 1–2.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the smallest side window be-
cause it is the least expensive to replace.
Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from
the glass.
