Keys (with key cylinder- type ignition switch)
To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.
Your vehicle is supplied with 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 will not work in the glove box and armrest door in the rear seat.
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
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: (cid:1) 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.

’05 AVALON_U (L/O 0501)
(cid:1) Do not bend the key grip.
(cid:1) When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of oth- er 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 remov- ing other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.
(cid:1) Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.
(cid:1) Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
(cid:1) Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood under direct sunlight.
(cid:1) Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
(cid:1) Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.

The key consists of an electronic key and a mechanical key. The mechanical key is for emergency use. If the elec- tronic key does not operate, you can open the driver’s door using the me- chanical key. 1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock or unlock all the doors and can open the trunk by using the wireless remote control function or entry function of the smart key system.
