Installation of a m obile
two- way r adio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in
your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as
multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system, cruise control system, anti- lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions regarding
installation.
viii
Scrapping o f y our T oyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in
your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle
is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.

Sequential m anual transmission
driving t ips
(Models equipped w it h Sequential Manual
Transmission o nly)
The sequential manual transmission is a 5- speed forward/
reverse transmission. With the basics of the traditional
manual trans mission, the clut ch operati on and transmis sion
shifting is controlled electronically. Unlike automatic transmissions, this system does not upshift automatically at the
time of acceleration.
To understand the unique system and operation method of
the sequential manual transmission, read Section 1- 6 on
page 77 thoroughl y before dr iving. For starti ng procedures,
see “How to start the engine— ” on page 140 in Section 3.
Please refer to the “Important Information For Your
Sequential Manual Transmission” equipped in your vehicle
as well.

Keys
SB12039
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 and luggage space.
02 MY MR2 SMT(U) L/O 0108
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
or luggage space when you have your
vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the
attendant.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
SY12001
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.
8
01 03 29
SY12002a
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.
02 MY MR2 SMT(U) L/O 0108
SY12003
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 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.

Engine immobiliser system
SB12040
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 to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.
10
SB12047
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.
SB12092
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.
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.
01 03 29
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 instrument panel, the passenger’s window cannot be operated.
02 MY MR2 SMT(U) L/O 0108
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all
occupants are kept completely inside the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure that he/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.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unattended children can be involved in
serious accidents.

CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refueling.
The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weather, fuel under pressure could cause

Soft top—
—Soft top precautions
Sequential manual transmission: Before
raising or lowering the soft top, lower both
side windows, apply the parking brake, put
the selector lever in the “S(1)” position
and stop the engine.
Manual transmission: Before raising or
lowering the soft top, lower both side windows, apply the parking brake, stop the
engine and put the transmission lever in
the first position.
CAUTION
When raising or lowering the soft
top, keep hands off from the hinges
of the top side rails and any part
of the top linkage.
To prevent personal injury, do not
raise or lower the soft top when the
wind is strong.
The vehicle should never be driven
with the soft top partially lowered.
Make sure the top has been either
fully latched to the windshield
frame or fully lowered before driving.
02 MY MR2 SMT(U) L/O 0108
NOTICE
Make sure there are no items or
packages in the folding board when
lowering in the soft top. Even small
items may interfere with the soft
top operation and can cause damage.
Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the soft top when the top
is up or down. Damage to the top
may occur.
Do not raise or lower the soft top
when the temperature is below 5
(41
F). Damage to the top or rear
window may result. If necessary to
do so, warm the vehicle in a heated
garage prior to operating the soft
top mechanism.
Do not lower the soft top if the top
is damp or wet. Possible interior
water damage, water stains or mildew on the top material may result.
When the soft top is completely
lowered, keep the rear window defogger turned off to avoid damage
to the top.
It may be hard to fix the soft top
when raising it after having kept it
