The anti-theft system prevents the audio
system from working after it has been dis-
connected. To activate the system, you
must set a three-digit security code. After
the system is set, “SEC” will appear in the
display each time the ignition is turned
form “LOCK” or “ACC” or “ON”. Also, the
anti-theft light flashes every few seconds
while the ignition key is in the “LOCK”
position.
You will need to know your security code
to reactivate your radio after electrical ser-
vice is performed on your vehicle.
Choose a security code that is easy to re-
member and keep a copy of it (not in your
Toyota).
