The electronic key can easily be damaged
when replacing the battery. We recom-
mend having the battery replaced by your
Toyota dealer. If you have to do it your-
self, use a CR1632 lithium battery or
equivalent and a flathead screwdriver.
CAUTION
Special care should be taken to pre-
vent small children from swallowing
the removed battery or components.
NOTICE
Be careful not to touch the circuit,
as this may generate static electric-
ity that can damage the key.
 When replacing the battery, be care-
ful not to lose the components.
 Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by a
Toyota dealer.
 Dispose of used batteries according
to the local laws.
Replace the battery by following these
procedures:

ANTENNA LOCATION1. Antenna inside cabin and trunk
2. Antenna outside cabin and trunk
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 front
door handle and the trunk opener
switch
Only the door handle of the actuation
area that the key holder is in can be
operated.
If the key is close to the door handle,
windows or the center of the rear
bumper, on the ground or above the
roof, the entry function may not be
activated. 2. Start function actuation area—
Inside
of the cabin
The start function may not be acti-
vated, if the key is in the auxiliary box
of the driver ’s side instrument panel
and glove box, on the instrument pan-
el, on the package tray, on the floor,
etc.
In the following cases, the smart key
system 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 a electronic key
together with a mobile communications
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 30 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.
Even if the smart key system does not
operate properly, you can still enter and
start the hybrid system. For further infor-
mation, see “Side doors” on page 38 and
“Trunk lid” on page 47 in this Section, and
see “How to start the hybrid system” on
page 301 in Section 3.
STARTING THE HYBRID SYSTEM WHEN
THE ELECTRONIC KEY BATTERY IS
DISCHARGED
If the key indicator does not flash and
the hybrid system 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 30 in
this Section.)
However the hybrid system can be turned
on in the following procedures.
1. While the brake pedal is depressed, touch the Toyota logo side of the
electronic key to the “POWER” switch. 2. Start the hybrid system within 5
seconds after the green indicator light
on the “POWER” switch comes on and
a buzzer sounds.
BATTERY POWER SAVING
Both the vehicle and key transmitters are
always sending signals to each other. To
prevent battery drain, the smart key sys-
tem is automatically deactivated in the fol-
lowing conditions:
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”
in this Section.)

Babies, small children, elderly per-
sons, sick persons or persons with
physical disabilities
Persons who have sensitive skin
Persons who are exhausted

NOTICE
Do not disconnect the 12 volt battery

dealer.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and rear outside passengers in
addition to the primary safety protec-
tion provided by the seat belts.In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest, and
the SRS curtain shield airbags help re-
duce injuries mainly to the driver’s, front
passenger ’s or rear outside passenger ’s
head.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger
seat will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat.
However, the side airbag on the passen-
ger seat may deploy if luggage is put in
the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up
regardless of the presence of the occu-
pant in the seat. (As for the front passen-
ger occupant classification system, see
“—Front passenger occupant classification
system” on page 92 in this Section.)
The SRS curtain shield airbag on the pas-
senger side are activated even with no
passenger in the front seat or rear outside
seat.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may acti-
vate even when the side airbags are not
activated.
Always wear your seat belt properly.

dealer as soon as possible:
Any of the SRS side airbags and cur-
tain shield airbags have been inflated.
The portion of the doors (shaded in the
illustration) was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause
the SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags to inflate.
The surface of the seats with the side
airbag (shaded in the illustration) is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam-
