The Toyota Previa comes with many standard safety features, including antilock brakes, seat belts, hazard lights and antiglare rear view mirrors. One of the most important safety features on any vehicle is the door locking system. Locking the doors helps prevent passengers from being thrown from the protective interior of vehicle in the event of a crash. Locking the doors can also provide a more secure antitheft deterrent. Of course the best lock in the world won’t help unless it is used properly.

Tips & Warnings

  • Duplicate keys can be made by a Toyota dealer from the key number that came with the original key.

  • The master key will unlock all doors including the glove box.

  • On vehicles equipped with an automatic door lock, you can lock all doors simultaneously by pressing down on the forward portion of the power door lock switch, located on the driver's door arm rest. All doors can be unlocked by pressing on the rear portion of the switch.

  • These instructions are specific to the 1991 model. Other year models may have slightly different procedures.

  • All of the doors on a Toyota Previa can be locked without using the key, so always carry a spare master key in the event that you lock yourself out of your car.

  • Do not keep the key number plate with the vehicle or on your key chain. Keep a copy of your key number in your important papers file.

  • Do not leave the master key with valets or attendants. Leave a copy of the sub-key, which will only unlock the doors and start the car but will not provide access to the glove box.

  • A locked door on a Previa will remain locked when it is closed. Insure you have your keys with you before closing a locked door to prevent a lockout.
