The best way to keep your new vehicle in top
running order is to maintain it properly from
the moment you drive it off the showroom
floor.

The Toyota authorized Repair Manual is
packed with literally everything you need to
know to perform your own maintenance in
virtually every area of your new vehicle.

Keys (without engine
immobiliser system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.

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

2. Sub key—
This key will not work in the glove box

and trunk.
To protect things locked in the glove

box or trunk when you have your vehi­cle at valet parking, leave the sub key
with the attendant.

10

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.

2002 MY CAMRY_U (OM33567U)

Keys (with engine immobiliser
system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.

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.

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.

2. Sub key (gray)—
This key will not work in the glove box

and trunk.
To protect things locked in the glove

box or trunk when you have your vehi­cle at valet parking, leave the sub key
with the attendant.

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser
system has been fitted 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.

AP_Camry_U (L/O 0201)

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans­ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:



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.



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

2002 MY CAMRY_U (OM33567U)

11



Do not bend the key grip.

AP_Camry_U (L/O 0201)



Do not cover the key grip with any
material that cuts off electromagnet­ic waves.



Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.



Do not leave the key exposed to
high temperatures for a long period,
such as on the dashboard and hood
under the direct sunlight.



Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.



Do not use the key with electromag­netic 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 you to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.

2002 MY CAMRY_U (OM33567U)

Engine immobiliser system

The engine immobiliser system is a
theft prevention system. When you in­sert the key in the ignition switch, the
transporter 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.

AP_Camry_U (L/O 0201)

With manual 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 either 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” on page 28 in this section.)

 The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.

 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 transporter 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.

With automatic air conditioning controls

2002 MY CAMRY_U (OM33567U)

AP_Camry_U (L/O 0201)

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 immobiliser sys­tem. If any unauthorized changes or
modifications are made, the proper
operation of the system cannot be
guaranteed.

REAR DOOR CHILD–PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”

position as shown on the label.

This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us­ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.

AP_Camry_U (L/O 0201)

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.

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 and unlock all the doors, push
the switches 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 the turn
signal lights will flash once.

Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.

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

To stop the beep, close all the doors se­curely or push the “UNLOCK” switch.

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 turn signal
lights will flash twice.

When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light and ignition switch light
come on. The lights remain on for about
15 seconds unless any door is opened
and closed. (For further information, see
“Interior light” on page 92 and “Ignition
switch light” on page 92 in Section 1–4.)

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
and one beep will be heard.

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.

OPENING THE TRUNK LID
To open the trunk lid, push the trunk

lid open switch of the transmitter for 1
second. A long beep will sound.

If the ignition key is in the “ON” position,
the trunk lid cannot be opened by the
trunk lid open switch.

To open the trunk lid with the master key,
see “Trunk lid” on page 25 in this section.

“PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the

horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights
and interior light.

The “PANIC” switch is used to deter ve­hicle theft when you witness anyone at­tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.

The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the “PANIC” switch
once again, unlock any door with the key
or transmitter, or turn the ignition key from
the “LOCK” to “ON” position.

The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “ON” position.

SWITCHING BEEP SOUND ON AND OFF

You can switch the beep on and off. (The
beep is on initially and after battery re­placement.)

To switch the beep on and off:
With the driver’s door opened—

1. Insert the ignition key and remove it.

2. Within 5 seconds, insert the ignition
key again and turn it to the “ON” posi­tion.

3. After 10 seconds, push the same
“LOCK”, “UNLOCK”, “PANIC” or trunk
lid open switch twice within 10 sec­onds.
Two beep sounds inform you that the
program has been switched on or off.

If this procedure is not followed exactly,
the beep will not operate as expected.

Check the beep ON/OFF operation by
pushing the transmitter switch after you
finish this procedure. If the beep does not
operate as expected, repeat this proce­dure from step 1.
