Spark ignition system of your Toyo ta
The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all re­quirements of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equip­ment Standard.
Installation of a mobile
two−way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti−lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they are, it may cause an accident such as a fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis­pose of your vehicle.
On−pavement and off−road
driving tips
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off−road use. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Be sure to read "Off− road vehicle precautions" in Part 2 and "Off−road driving precautions" in Part 3.

Keys (without engine immobiliser system)
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of key.
1. Master keyThis key works in every lock.
2. Sub keyThis key will not work in the glove box.
To protect things locked in the glove box when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant.
Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ)
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 you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place.

Keys (with engine immobiliser system)
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ )
To protect things locked in the glove box when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with­out 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 "Side doors" in this chapter.
Your vehicle is supplied with the two kinds of key.
1. Master key (black)This key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need it to make you a new key with built−in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)This key does not work in the glove box.
The master key and sub key each have a transponder chip in their key head which is very important for the system function, 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.
10
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans­ponder 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 oth­er 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 taking off other transponder keys (includ­ing 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.
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ)
z Do not cover the key grip with any
material that cuts off electromagnet­ic 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.

Engine immobiliser system
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ )
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 you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place.
12
The engine immobiliser system is a theft prevention system. When you in­sert the key in the ignition switch, the transponder chip in the key’s head transmits an electronic code to the ve­hicle. The engine will start, only when the electronic code in the chip corre­sponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle.
The system is automatically set when the key is removed from the ignition switch. The indicator light will start flashing every 2 seconds to show the system is set.
If either of the following indicator condi­tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
D The indicator light stays on except
when the theft deterrent system is set­ting or activating. (See Theft deterrent system.)
D The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
D The indicator light flashes unsteady.
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ)
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.
If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the sys­tem or start the engine.

CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors are closed and locked, especially when small children are in the ve­hicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from being thrown out from the ve­hicle during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally.
Wireless remote control
Locking operation
4RUNNER (ᝌᛆ )
Your vehicle has a wireless remote con­trol system that can lock or unlock all the side doors and back door from a distance within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.

To lock: Push the "LOCK" switch. All the side doors and back door are locked si­multaneously. At this time one beep will be heard, and the parking lights and tail lights flash once.
Check to see that all the side doors and back door are securely locked.
If any of the side doors or back door is not securely closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch, locking cannot be per­formed by the "LOCK" switch and a con­tinuous beep will sound for 10 seconds.
To stop the buzzer, close all the doors securely or push the "UNLOCK" switch.
16
Unlocking operation
To unlock: Push the "UNLOCK" switch once to unlock the driver’s door alone. Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds unlocks all the side doors and back door simultaneously. Each time the "UNLOCK" switch is pushed, two beeps will be heard, and the parking lights and tail lights flash twice.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the wireless remote unlock feature. If a door is not opened by then, all the side doors and back door will be automati­cally locked again.
If the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" switch is kept pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera­tion is not repeated. Release the button and then push again.
The volume of beep sound can be changed. Contact your Toyota dealer for details if you require it.

"PANIC" SWITCH
Pushing the "PANIC" switch blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights and tail lights.
