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.)

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

hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the “POWER” switch
set at ON. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
When you carry the registered key into
the actuation area, the trunk can be
opened. For further information of actua-

See “—Stowage precautions” on page 295
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.The trunk lid can be opened with the wire-
less remote control function, see “—Open-
ing trunk lid” on page 28 in this Section.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
A warning buzzer may sound when:
The key is brought into the cabin after
the trunk is opened, and the trunk is
then closed.
The key is near the trunk when the
trunk is closed.
