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 import ant sect ion 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 structure 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 ris k of head and chest inj uries by prev enting cont act of
the head and chest wit h interior port ions of the vehic le.

iii

’05 Corolla_U (L/O 0409)

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 airbag a t the t ime 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 caref ully and refer to them as needed during your ti me
of ownershi p of this vehic le.

Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer­tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in
driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be­sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a
system to record data in a crash or a near car crash
event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device records some
or all of the following information:

 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission selector lever
 Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat

belts or not

 Driver’s seat position
 Front passenger’s occupant classification

 SRS airbag deployment data
 SRS airbag system diagnostic data

The information above is intended to be used for the
purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike
general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound
data suc h as conv ersati on between pass engers.

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a
third par ty except w hen:

 An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas-

ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained

 Officially requested by the police or other authorities
 Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit
 Ordered by the court

However, if necessary Toyota will:

 Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety

performance

 Disclose the data to a third party for research pur-

poses without disclosing details of the vehicle owner,
and only when it is deemed necessary

 Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-

cation information to a non- Toyota organization for
research purposes

Keys

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.

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.

’05 Corolla_U (L/O 0409)

2. Sub key (gray)—
This key will not work in the trunk.
To protect items locked in the trunk

when using valet parking, leave the
sub key with the attendant.

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.

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.

12

2005 COROLLA from Sep. ’04 Prod. (OM12891U)



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.

’05 Corolla_U (L/O 0409)



Do not bend the key grip.



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 direct sunlight.



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



Do not use the key with electromag­netic materials.

Engine immobilizer system

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.

14

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.

Without Toyota vehicle intrusion protec­tion system

With Toyota vehicle intrusion protection
system

2005 COROLLA from Sep. ’04 Prod. (OM12891U)

’05 Corolla_U (L/O 0409)

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 Toyota vehicle intrusion
protection system is setting or activat­ing. (See “Toyota vehicle intrusion
protection system (TVIP)” on page 27
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.

someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power win­dows, make sure he or she oper­ates the windows safely.

 When small children are in the ve-

hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi­sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex­pected use of the switches.

 Be sure to remove the ignition key

when you leave your vehicle.

 Never leave anyone (particularly a

small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat­tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.

To open the trunk lid from the outside,
insert the master key and turn it clock­wise.

See “—Stowage precautions” on page 197
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.

To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.

Toyota vehicle intrusion
protection system (TVIP)

CAUTION

 Always lock the trunk lid and all

doors, and keep away the vehicle
keys out of children’s reach.

 Never leave children unattended in

the vehicle. Unsupervised children
may lock themselves in the vehicle
or trunk and suffer serious injuries
or death.

If a person is locked in the trunk,
he/she can pull down the phosphores­cent handle on the inside of trunk lid
to open the trunk lid.

The phosphorescent (glow- in- the- dark)
handle will continue to glow for a time
after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the
handle to stronger light will cause it to
glow longer.

TVIP is a theft deterrent system. If
someone attempts to damage or break
into your vehicle, the system sounds
the alarm while flashing the lights.

SETTING THE SYSTEM

You can set the system as follows.

1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.

The indicator light will start flashing when
the key is removed from the ignition
switch. (See “Engine immobilizer system”
on page 14 for details.)

2. Have all passengers get out of the

When the system is set, the indicator
light will start to flashing again.

5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve­hicle.

Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.

Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the

vehicle, it sounds the alarm for one
minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights.

At this time, the interior light also turns
on when the interior light dial is in the
DOOR position. (See “Interior/instrument
panel light control” on page 95 in Section
1- 5.)

The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:

 Either of the front doors is unlocked by

means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.

If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.

 Any of the doors or trunk lid are forci-

bly opened.
The alarm will activate when the trunk

lid is opened with a key. Cancel the
system before opening the trunk lid.

 The side windows are tapped or bro-

ken.

 The battery terminal is disconnected

and then reconnected.

 The ignition is hotwired.

After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.
