Keys (without engine
immobilizer system)
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys—
These keys work in every lock.
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.
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.
14
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.
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.
2. Sub key (gray)—
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.
2007 HIGHLANDER from July ’06 Prod. (OM48682U)
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.
’07 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0608)
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.
15
2007 HIGHLANDER from July ’06 Prod. (OM48682U)
z Do not bend the key grip.
’07 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0608)
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.
16
2007 HIGHLANDER from July ’06 Prod. (OM48682U)
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.
’07 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0608)
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 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.

changed to a single switch operation. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.
When all the side doors and back door
are unlocked simultaneously with a wireless remote control transmitter, the center
interior light, personal lights and ignition
switch light come on for about 15 seconds
before fading out, even if the door is not
opened. (For details, see “Interior lights”
on page 122, “Personal lights” on page
123 and “Ignition switch light” on page
124 in Section 1−5.)
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
side doors and back door will be automatically locked again. At this time, one beep
will be heard, and the turn signal lights
flash once.
The timing for the automatic door lock
function can be changed. For details, contact your Toyota dealer.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept

’07 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0608)
The power door lock switch can be reset
in the following ways.
D Turn the ignition key to “ON”.
D Unlock all the side doors and back
door with the key or wireless remote

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 in an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you

’07 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0608)
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door. The passenger window can also be controlled by
the switches on the driver’s door.
The power windows work when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
Normal operation: The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
If you push in the window lock switch on
the driver’s door, the passengers’ windows
cannot be operated.
Automatic operation (driver’s window
only): 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.
Key off operation: If all the side doors
and back door 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.

CAUTION
To avoid death or serious personal
injury, you must do the following.
D Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious injury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she operates the windows safely.
D 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.
D Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
D 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.
D Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could result in a death or serious injury.
D The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
