CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system
antennas, because the radio waves
may affect the operation of such
devices. For the antenna locations
see “ANTENNA LOCATION” on page
29 in this Section.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
If necessary, the entry function can
be disabled. See “DISABLING THE
SMART KEY SYSTEM” on page 33
in this Section.

ACTUATION AREA
The entry function and start function
are available to use when a registered
key is in the actuation area.1. Entry function actuation area— About
1 m (3 ft.) from each outside door
handle and trunk opener switch.
If the key is close to a door handle,
a window, the center of the rear bump-
er, on the ground or above the roof,
the entry function may not operate
properly. 2. Start function actuation area—
Inside
of the cabin.
The start function may not be activated
if the key is on the instrument panel,
on the package tray, in the glove box
or on the floor, etc.
In the following cases, the smart key sys-
tem may not operate properly.
When facilities issuing strong electro-
magnetic waves such as TV towers,
electric power stations, broad casting
stations are nearby.
In places where automated payment fa-
cilities are installed (such as gas sta-
tions).
When you are carrying an electronic
key together with a mobile communica-
tions system such as a two −way radio
or cellular phone.
When the electronic key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic object.
When another person is operating a
wireless remote control function on
another vehicle near your vehicle.
When the battery is discharged. To re-
place the battery, see “—Replacing bat-
tery” on page 25 in this Section.
When the electronic key is near a
high− voltage or noise −emitting device.
When you are carrying an electronic
key together with a key for another
smart key system equipped vehicle or
another instrument emitting radio
waves.
Depending on the position of the key
or vehicle body shape the key may not
work well even within the actuation
area.
When the key surface is covered by a
sticker, etc. that may cut off electro-
magnetic wave.
If the smart key system does not oper-
ate properly and you cannot enter, you
can lock and unlock all the doors by
using mechanical key attached to the
master key or wireless remote control
function.

tromagnetic waves over a period of time,
the battery can be drastically run down.
You should always keep the at least 1 m
(3 ft.) away from the electronic key follow-
ing electrical appliances.

Do not attach a microphone or any
other device or object around the
area where the curtain shield airbag
activates such as on the windshield
glass, side door glass, front and
rear pillars, roof side rail and assist
grips. When the curtain shield air-
bag inflates, the microphone or oth-
er device or object will be thrown
away with great force or the curtain
shield airbag may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Do not hook a hanger, heavy or
sharp pointed objects on the coat
hook. If the curtain shield airbag
inflates, those items will be thrown
away with great force or the curtain
shield airbag may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious
injury. When you hang clothes,
hang them on the coat hook direct-
ly.
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
Do not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such changes may prevent
the side airbag system from activat-
ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags to inflate ac-
cidentally, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
Do not disassemble or repair the
front and rear pillars and roof side
rail containing the curtain shield
airbags. Such changes may disable
the system or cause the curtain
shield airbags to inflate accidental-
ly, resulting in death or serious in-
jury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious injury.
Consult your Toyota dealer about any
repair and modification.
If you wish to modify your vehicle for
a person with a physical disability,
consult your Toyota dealer. It may

 Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or Compact Disc into
the slot.
 The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio system which you are listening
to. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. The farther you are from a
station, the weaker its signal will be. In
addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.
