lock cylinder, turn it over and re-
attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-
tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will

If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional using a master key (vehi-
cles without smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type
(vehicles with smart entry & start system), and the key number stamped on
your key number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not
in the vehicle.
