STARTING THE ENGINE WHEN THE
ELECTRONIC KEY BATTERY IS
DISCHARGED
If the key indicator does not flash and
the engine cannot be started by using
the start function, the battery may be
discharged. Replace the key battery as
soon as possible. (See “—Replacing
battery” on page 25 in this Section.)However the engine can be started in the
following procedures.
1. While the brake pedal is depressed, touch the Toyota logo side of the
electronic key to the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch.
2. Start the engine within 5 seconds after the green indicator light on the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch comes

BATTERY POWER SAVING
Both the vehicle and key transmitters are
always sending signals to each other. To
prevent the batteries from being dis-
charged, the smart key system is auto-
matically deactivated in the following con-
ditions:
If the electronic key is left outside of
the vehicle and within the effective
range of the entry function actuation
area for more than 10 minutes.
If the door lock or unlock operation is
not performed more than 2 weeks. The key and the vehicle are communicat-
ing even while the vehicle is not being
driven. Do not leave the key near the
vehicle (within 2 m [7 ft.]).
The vehicle battery may drain if the
vehicle is not used for a long period of
time. To prevent battery drain, disconnect
the battery negative (
−) terminal or disable
the smart key system. (For details about
disable the smart key system, see
“DISABLING THE SMART KEY SYSTEM”
on page 32 in this Section.)
If the battery is disconnected, the power
window and moon roof may not operate
automatically and the jam protection func-
tion will not function correctly after you
reconnect. In this case, you should
normalize each system. To normalize
them, see “Power windows” on page 40
and “Electric moon roof” on page 51 in
Section 1 −2.
