Keys

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of key.

1. Master key—This key works in every lock.

2. Subkey—This key will not work in the glovebox.

To protect things locked in the glovebox when you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey 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.

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.

name. SIENNA (U)

JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION

If anything with sufficient resistance obstructs the power sliding door while it is closing or opening, the sliding door will automatically reverse to the opposite direction. However, if the power sliding door is between the fully−closed and half− opened positions while it is opening, the door will stop at that position.

Before operating the power sliding door, make sure there is nobody near the sliding door. Make sure the sliding door stops at the fully−opened position, and then allow the passengers to get on and off the vehicle.

The resistance must be as strong as the force of the moving door, or stronger. As the sliding door approaches the fully− closed or fully−opened position, its moving force increases significantly.

If an impact is given to the sliding door, this function may work without anything caught.

CAUTION

D Never try jamming any part of your

body to make the jam protection function work intentionally.

D The jam protection function may

not work when something gets caught just before the sliding door is fully closed.

D You must always make sure the

head, hands and other parts of the body of all occupants are away from the sliding door. If someone’s neck, head or hand gets caught in a closing sliding door, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the power sliding door, make sure he/she operates the sliding door safely.

NOTICE

Objects caught in the path of the sliding door may be damaged. Make sure there is nothing in the doorway before closing the sliding door.
