models from 2017 and on are equipped with a feature to avoid getting locked out.
To activate this feature, reach for your driver’s side door handle. There should be a sensor on the inside of the handle. When the car recognizes your fingerprint, it will unlock the door for you.
That said, you will have had to program this feature in advance. If you haven’t, reach out to a locksmith for help getting back into your vehicle. Locksmiths offer same-day emergency services to get you back into your locked vehicle and even get a replacement car key.
You could also try reaching out to your Toyota dealership or service center to get an extra key.
Once you get back into your car, make sure you’re prepared for any situation with the
broker that lives in your pocket. Once you download Jerry, answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for the coverage you need. Jerry customers save an average of $887 a year.
