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 ordinary passenger car. Thi s vehicle d esign 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 inj ury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicl e precautions” on page 184 in Section 2 and “Off−road driving precautions ” on page 204 in Section 3.

’03 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0208)

Keys (without engine immobiliser system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.

1. Master keys—These keys work in every lock.

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

To protect items locked in the glove box when using valet parking, 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 writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place.

Keys (with engine immobiliser 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 built−in transponder chip.

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

2003 HIGHLANDER from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM48441U)

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser 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.

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.

’03 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0208)

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.

2003 HIGHLANDER from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM48441U)

z Do not bend the key grip.

’03 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0208)

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.

2003 HIGHLANDER from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM48441U)

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.

’03 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0208)

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.

 The indicator light stays on.  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 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.

 The jam protection function may

not work if something gets caught just before the window is fully closed.

The windows can be operated with the switch on each side door.

The power windows work when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

Key off operation: If both front doors are closed, they work for 43 seconds even after the ignition switch is turned off. They stop working when the either front door is opened.

OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW Use the switch on the driver’s door. Normal operation: The window moves as

long as you hold the switch. To open: Lightly push down the switch.

To close: Lightly pull up the switch.

Automatic operation: Push the switch completely down or pull it completely up, and then release it. The window will fully open or close. To stop the window partway, lightly move the switch in the opposite direction and then release it.

Jam protection function: During automatic closing operation, the window stops and opens half way if something gets caught between the window and window frame.

If the window receives a strong impact, this function may work even if nothing is caught.
