Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read.

Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall str ucture of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for y ou and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or ser ious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehic le, and every occupant of the vehicle shoul d wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head and chest injuri es b y preventing contact of the head and chest wit h interior port ions of the vehic le.

iii

2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)

’04 AVALON U (L/O 0408)

In order to be effectiv e, the SRS airbags must deploy wit h tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the a irbag at the ti me of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your family in the ev ent of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownershi p of this vehic le.

New vehicle warranty

Keys (without engine immobilizer system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.

1. Master key—This key works in every lock.

2. Sub key—This key will not work in the glove box, trunk and armrest door in the rear seat.

To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

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 number and storing it in a safe place.

Keys (with engine immobilizer system)

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 transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box, trunk and armrest door in the rear seat.

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer 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.

2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)

To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

’04 AVALON U (L/O 0408)

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 removing other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.

2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)

z Do not bend the key grip.

’04 AVALON U (L/O 0408)

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 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 number and storing it in a safe place.

2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)

Engine immobilizer system

The engine immobilizer 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.

’04 AVALON U (L/O 0408)

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.

 The indicator light stays on except

when the theft deterrent system is setting or activating. (See “Theft deterrent system” in this Section.)

 The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.

 The indicator light flashes inconsistent-

ly.

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.

NOTICE

Do not modify, remove or disassemble the engine immobilizer system. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, proper operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.

2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)

’04 AVALON U (L/O 0408)

The wireless remote control system is designed to lock or unlock all the doors, open the trunk lid, or activate the “PANIC” mode from a distance within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS

To lock or unlock all the doors, push the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch of the transmitter slowly and securely.

To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the doors are locked simultaneously. At this time one beep will be heard, and parking lights, side marker lights, license plate lights and tail lights flash once.

Check to see that the doors are securely lock ed.

If any of the doors is not securely closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch, locking cannot be performed by the “LOCK” switch and a beep will sound continuously for 10 seconds.

To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch once to unlock the driver’s door alone. Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds unlocks all the doors simultaneously. Each time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, two beeps will be heard, and the parking lights, side marker lights, license plate lights and tail lights flash twice.

If the ignition key is in the “ON” position, unlocking cannot be performed by the “UNLOCK” switch.

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 doors 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 switch and then push again.
