CAUTION
If you are involved in an accident,
follow these precautions.
Move the vehicle to a safe place
and perform the followings to re-
duce the risk of high voltage elec-
tricity leakage. Depress the brake pedal and apply
the parking brake.
 Press the “P” position switch and
stop the hybrid system.
 If the key is inserted into key slot,
remove it.
If your vehicle has experienced ma-
jor damage, you may get an electric
shock. To prevent this, never touch
the high voltage parts (hybrid ve-
hicle battery assembly, etc.) or
cables (orange color) connecting
these parts. If some exposed elec-
tric wires are protruding inside or
outside of the vehicle, an electric
shock may also occur. Never touch
them.
If the fluid leaks or gets in some
part of the vehicle, never touch it
because it may be electrolyte
(strong alkali) from the hybrid ve-
hicle battery. If it gets on your skin
or eyes, wash off immediately with
a large amount of water, if possible,
with boric acid solution, and get
immediate medical attention in or-
der to help avoid serious injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish
it using a fire extinguisher for the
exclusive use on electric fires. As
a small amount of water may be
dangerous, use a large amount of
water, for example from a fire hy-
drant, or wait for a firefighting
team arrival.
If your vehicle needs to be towed,
do it with the front wheels or all
four wheels raised. If the front
wheels are on the ground when
towing, the electric motor may con-
tinue to generate electricity which
could leak electricity. A fire could
occur depending on the degree of
damage. See “If your vehicle needs
to be towed” on page 254.

INFORMATION
When changing the mode, be sure
to push both “ ” (lock) and “ ”
(panic) buttons firmly, or panic
alarm may be activated.
 This operation will not change the
wireless remote control unlocking
function.
 In the single or driver’s door un-
locking mode, if you get into the
vehicle from the driver’s door carry-
ing the smart key, all the smart un-
locking controls activated by the
smart key will be stopped for secu-
rity. If you get out of the vehicle
from the driver’s door carrying the
smart key and get out of the effec-
tive range of the smart function,
unlocking control by the smart key
will be possible. However, unlocking
control may not be carried out for
5 seconds after you get out from
the vehicle. In this case, operate
unlock control again after 5 sec-
onds.
BATTERY POWER SAVING
When doors are locked, the smart entry
and start system transmits electromagnetic
waves to the outside of the vehicle at
regular intervals. For this reason, the ve-
hicle battery will be discharged if the ve-
hicle is left for a long time. If the key is
left within the effective range of the smart
function outside of the vehicle, the key
and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic
waves periodically. If these conditions con-
tinue for a long time, the battery in the
key and vehicle will be discharged.
To prevent the batteries from being dis-
charged, the smart function is automatical-
ly deactivated in the following conditions:
If there is no response from the key
for more than 14 days
If the key is left within the effective
range of the smart function outside of
the vehicle for more than 10 minutes To reactivate the smart function, perform
any of the following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside front door handle or back door while
carrying the smart key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control op- eration.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in the keyhole of the driver’s door.

INFORMATION
To maintain communication with the
vehicle, smart keys use builtin bat-
tery power. The battery service life
is about 1 to 3 years on average. If
battery power becomes insufficient,
replace the battery with a new one.
The smart key continually receives
electromagnetic waves, and if it re-
ceives strong electromagnetic waves
over a period of time, the battery
can be drastically run down. There-
fore, avoid storing smart keys near
any electrical appliances.Here is a list of electrical ap-
pliances which may have adverse
effects on the smart key perfor-
mance: TVs, personal computers,
cellular phone or cordless phone
recharger units, electric light stands
and fluorescent desk lights
Note that you should always keep
such electrical appliances at least 1
m (3 ft.) away from the smart key.
