Wearing gloves may slow response time.
For 3 seconds after the doors have been
locked, the doors cannot be re−unlocked
via the smart key system.
When you enter the entry function actua-

lights come on, all the side doors can be
unlocked by grasping the outside door
handle.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the unlocking function. If a door is
not opened by then, all the doors will be
automatically locked again.
The doors may unlock if the key is within
the entry function actuation area and a
large amount of water splashes on the
door handle (for example, in the rain or
in a car wash).
When you unlock the doors, the illumi-
nated entry system will be activated. (For
further information, see “Illuminated entry
system” on page 135 in Section 1 −5.) SELECTING DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED

switch simultaneously for 5 seconds.
In order to change unlock modes, the igni-

when the driver ’s door handle is
grasped. All the doors unlock when any
door handle other than the driver ’s
door handle is grasped. When the set-
ting is complete, you will hear two
beeps. 2. All doors—In this mode, all doors (ex-
cept the trunk) unlocks when any of
the door handles is grasped. When the
setting is complete, you will hear two
beeps.

When the child −protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is

1. Push down the power window switches of each front door and lower the win-
dows halfway.
2. Pull up the switches until the windows close and hold the switches for 1 sec-
ond.

close automatically. If the power windows
cannot be operated properly, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.CAUTION
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in a death or serious injury.

not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully

nobody around the power windows.

heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to carry the key when you
leave your vehicle.
