On−pavement and off−road

driving tips

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility ve­hicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is
designed for off−road use also. In addition, this vehicle
has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than
that of a n ordinar y passenger c ar. This vehicle des ign fea­ture causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rol­lover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death
or serious injury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicl e precau­tions” on page 180 in Section 2 and “Off−road driving pre­cautions ” on page 200 in Section 3.

Keys (without engine
immobiliser 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.

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 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 you to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.

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.

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

12

2002 MY HIGHLANDER_U (OM48429U)

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser
system has been filled 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.

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 key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.

’02 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0108)

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.

2002 MY HIGHLANDER_U (OM48429U)

13

z Do not bend the key grip.

’02 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0108)

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.

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.

14

2002 MY HIGHLANDER_U (OM48429U)

Engine immobiliser system

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.

’02 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0108)

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.

In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer.

D The indicator light stays on.
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.

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.
