Keys (without engine immobilizer system)
LS12001
These keys work in every lock.
Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your key inside the vehicle.
LS12002
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)
LS12039
Your vehicle is supplied with the 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.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key works in ev­ery lock.
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.
12
2005 TACOMA from Mar. ’05 Prod. (OM35862U)
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.
LS12040
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.
2005 TACOMA from Mar. ’05 Prod. (OM35862U)
LS12041
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.
13
LS12042
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 direct sunlight.
Do not put the key in water or wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
Do not use the key with electromag­netic materials.
LS12043
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.
14
2005 TACOMA from Mar. ’05 Prod. (OM35862U)
Engine immobilizer system
LS12044
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.
LS12003a
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.The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
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.

Close the transmitter case securely.
NOTICE
Make sure the positive side and negative side of the transmitter bat­tery are faced correctly.
Do not replace the battery with wet hands. Water may cause unexpected rust.
Do not touch or move any compo­nents inside the transmitter, or it may interfere with proper operation.
Be careful not to bend the electrode when inserting the transmitter bat­tery and that dust or oils do not adhere to the transmitter case.

REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS (double cab models only)
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK” position as shown on the label.
When the child- protector is locked, you cannot open the rear door by the inside door handle. We recommend using this feature whenever small children are in the vehicle.
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.

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.
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.
