If you lose your keys

You can purchase a new key at your
Toyota dealer if you can give them the
key number and master key.
Vehicles with key cylinder- type ignition
switch—Even if you lose only one key,
contact your Toyota dealer at the earliest
opportunity to make a new key. If you
lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobi-
lizer system must be replaced.
Vehicles with smart key system—If you
lose any of your keys, contact
Toyota dealer to have new keys made.
Lost keys increase the danger of vehicle
theft. Bring all of the remaining vehicle
keys when you visit your Toyota dealer.
See the suggestion given in "Keys" on
pages 12 or 14 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.
