Spark ignition system of your

Toyota

The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all re­quirements of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equip­ment Standard.

Installation of a mobile

two−way radio 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, electronic throttle control system,
cruise control system, anti−lock brake system, traction
control system (four−wheel drive models)/active traction
control system (two−wheel drive models), vehicle skid
control 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.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and front 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.

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 an ordinary passenger car. This
vehicle design 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 vehicle precautions” on page 212 in
Section 2 and “Off−road driving precautions” on page
230 in Section 3.

Keys

02_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0108)

Since the side 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.

For information on use of the wireless
remote control key, see “Side doors” on
page 12 in this section.

Your vehicle is supplied with the 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 also works in
every lock.

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.

8

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.

2002 MY SEQUOIA_U (OM34418U)

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.

02_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0108)

z Do not bend the key grip.

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.

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

10

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.

2002 MY SEQUOIA_U (OM34418U)

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 theft deterrent system is set­ting or activating. (See “Theft deterrent
system” on page 29 in this section.)

 The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.

 The indicator light flashes unsteady.

02_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0108)

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.

REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”

position as shown on the label.

This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us­ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.

02_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0108)

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 during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the side
doors and back door, or activate the
“PANIC” mode from a distance within
approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SIDE
DOORS AND BACK DOOR

To lock and unlock all the side doors
and back door, push the switches slow­ly and securely.

To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
side doors and back door are locked si­multaneously. At this time one beep will
be heard, and the parking lights and tail
lights flash once.

Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.

If any of the side doors or back door is
not securely closed, locking cannot be
performed by the “LOCK” switch and a
beep will sound continuously for 10 sec­onds. However, if the key is in the igni­tion, a beep will not sound.

To stop the buzzer, close all the doors
securely or push the “UNLOCK” switch.

The buzzer can be disabled. For details,
contact your Toyota dealer.

To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the side doors and back door
simultaneously. Each time the “UNLOCK”
switch is pushed, two beeps will be heard,
and the parking lights and tail lights flash
twice.

This double switch operation to unlock all
the side doors and back door can be
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 interior
light, luggage compartment light, ignition
switch light and foot light come on for
about 15 seconds and then fade out, even
if the door is not opened. (For details, see
“Center interior and personal light” on
page 115, “Luggage compartment light” on
page 116 and “Ignition switch light” on
page 117 in Section 1−4.)

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.
