The r does stand for reserve, as you have two gallons left when the fuel light comes on. The tc key doesnt have a trunk pop, but if you hit the unlock button twice it unlocks both doors and the hatch.

oh yeah, they have a pic at scion.com of the key if you go to the accessory page for the tc and click on security.

i thought it stood for "refuel"

English

ScummyMcOwnage

this is what it truly means!

Really means:

We don't have it that bad here for gas prices. In Japan, people pay 3 to 5 hundred yen(3 to 5 bucks) per liter. Last I checked, a liter was less than a gallon.

Any other country in the world (try Europe in general) kills us with gas prices. If you count how much money we spend fighting wars to protect our oil supply and things like that, we're getting a real steal on gas. Most other countries pass some of those costs along, but not in the US. Frankly I wish they did. The tC might get kinda bad gas mileage, but those SUVs get worse - I'd love to see those monsters off the road, or at least their drivers in the poorhouse.

actually in other countries...the gas prices are more than here...and whatJDMJim said was right...in other countries they are all on metric system and their prices are ridiculously higher than ours.

anybody else notice they have a 1/1 for Full, then 1/2, then R for reserve. 1/1, that is 1 or F for Full, c'mon. *shrugs* Just something I thought was odd.

I see that's an uncut key - what is the auction for? Just a replacement? Can you take that to the dealer to be programmed and cut? I take it it's cheaper than the alternative?

English

I believe it's 3.8 liters per gallon. so...en japan it could be like $15 a gallon!!! Damn that would suck if that was here.

Kwiksilver

yeah you can get the key cut at the dealer. as long as you have the key code that you got with your keys they can cut it.

the black area on the right on the fob looks lonely. lol

In the spirit of engrsh.com the "R" means rempty.
