scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they

are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to

have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten-

sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service

shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your

vehicle.

2003 CAMRY from Jan. ’03 Prod. (OM33593U)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

1. Master keys—

These keys work in every lock.

Since the doors and trunk lid can be

locked without a key, you should al-

ways carry a spare master key in case

you accidentally lock your keys inside

the vehicle.

2. Sub key—

This key will not work in the glove box

and trunk.

To protect items locked in the trunk or

glove box when using valet parking,

leave the sub key with the attendant.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

We recommend writing down the key num-

ber and storing it in a safe place.

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

1. Master keys (black)—

These keys work in every lock. Your

Toyota dealer will need one of them to

make a new key with a built−in trans-

ponder chip.

Since the doors and trunk lid can be

locked without a key, you should al-

ways carry a spare master key in case

you accidentally lock your keys inside

the vehicle.

2. Sub key (gray)—

This key will not work in the glove box

and trunk.

To protect items locked in the trunk or

glove box when using valet parking,

leave the sub key with the attendant.

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser

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.

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.

z When starting the engine, do not

use the key with other transponder

keys around (including keys of oth-

er vehicles) and do not press other

key plates against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start,

or may stop soon after it starts. If

this happens, remove the key once

and then insert it again after remov-

ing other transponder keys (includ-

ing keys of other vehicles) from the

ring or while gripping or covering

them with your hand to start the

engine.

z Do not bend the key grip.

z Do not cover the key grip with any

material that cuts off electromagnet-

ic waves.

z Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

z Do not leave the key exposed to

high temperatures for a long period,

such as on the dashboard and hood

under the direct sunlight.

z Do not put the key in water or

wash it in an ultrasonic washer.

z Do not use the key with electromag-

netic materials.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

We recommend writing down the key num-

ber and storing it in a safe place.

The engine immobiliser system is a

theft prevention system. When you in-

sert the key in the ignition switch, the

transponder chip in the key’s head

transmits an electronic code to the ve-

hicle. The engine will start only when

the electronic code in the chip corre-

sponds to the registered ID code for

the vehicle.

With manual air conditioning controls

With automatic air conditioning controls

The system is automatically set when the

key is removed from the ignition switch.

The indicator light will start flashing to

show the system is set.

If any of the following indicator conditions

occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.

D The indicator light stays on except

when the theft deterrent system is set-

ting or activating. (See “Theft deterrent

system” on page 30 in this section.)

D The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the

ignition switch.

D The indicator light flashes unsteady.

Inserting the registered key in the ignition

switch automatically cancels the system,

which enables the engine to start. The

indicator light will go off.

For your Toyota dealer to make you a

new key with built−in transponder chip,

your dealer will need your key number

and master key. However, there is a limit

to the number of additional keys your

Toyota dealer can make for you.
