Keys (without engine
immobiliser system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.

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

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

To protect things locked in the glove box
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the sub key with the attendant.

Since the front doors and sliding doors
can be locked without a key, you should
always carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside the
vehic le.

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.

Keys (with engine immobiliser
system)

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.

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.

10

2003 MY SIENNA (OM45410U)

To protect things locked in the glove box
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the sub key with the attendant.

Since the front doors and sliding doors
can be locked without a key, you should
always carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside the
vehic le.

03 SIENNA_U (L/O 0207)

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.

2003 MY SIENNA (OM45410U)

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.

11

z Do not bend the key grip.

03 SIENNA_U (L/O 0207)

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.

12

2003 MY SIENNA (OM45410U)

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 SIENNA_U (L/O 0207)

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” 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.

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.

child−protector feature is cancelled when
someone pushes one of the “DOOR L”,
“DOOR R” and “PWR DOOR” switches
inside the vehicle or “POWER DOOR”,
“D−PWR DOOR” and “P−PWR DOOR”
switches of the wireless remote control
transmitter. (See “Power sliding door” in

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
vehic le.

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

CAUTION

Power sliding door could injure
people if they are caught in the door
path. When using the power sliding
door, observe the following:

 Never try jamming any part of your

body to make the jam protection
function work intentionally.

 The jam protection function may

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

 Before you close the power sliding

door, always make sure there is no­body around the power sliding
door. 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 door, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the power sliding
door, make sure he or she operates
the 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.
