Exclamation where is the lock cylinder?

This is URGENT! my only key to my 4runner was stolen when my keys and my husband's wallet were taken from the car. It is a rebuilt car that had been previously "totalled" and so when i got it, it did not have an owner's manuel. I have been told that this would contain the key code to which the dealer could have another key made. He also said I could find the code on the lock cylinder on the passenger side door. We live in Germany and so language can be a problem. We cannot locate this lock cylinder. It is our only vehicle at this time so we need to find this immediately. PLEASE HELP!

Sorry if this is obvious, but the lock cylinder is on the inside of the door sheet metal where you insert the key. The key actually goes in the lock cylinder. To access it, you will need to remove the interior door panel.
