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:
1. Push the release button and take out
the mechanical key.2. Using a flathead screwdriver or equiva-lent, open the key case.

negative side of the battery are
faced correctly.
 Do not replace the battery with wet
hands. Water may cause unexpected
rust.
 Do not touch or move any compo-
nents inside the key, or it may in-
terfere with proper operation.
 Be careful not to bend the electrode
when inserting the battery and that
dust or oils do not adhere to the

The smart key system consists mainly
of the following functions.
Engine immobilizer function (For de-
tails, see “Engine immobilizer system”
on page 24 in this Section.)
Wireless remote control function (For
details, see “Wireless remote control”
on page 25 in this Section.)
Push button start function (For details,
see “How to start the hybrid system”
on page 301 in Section 3.)
Entry function and start function (See
“ENTRY FUNCTION AND START
FUNCTION” described below.)

LOCK FUNCTION” described below.)
CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should
maintain a reasonable distance be-
tween themselves and the smart
key system antennas, because the
radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices. For the anten-
na locations see “ANTENNA LOCA-
TION” on page 34 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 38
in this Section.

ENTRY FUNCTION AND START
FUNCTION
Simply by carrying the key, you can
lock and unlock the doors and start the
hybrid system.
Entry function—You can lock and unlock
the doors and open the trunk without in-
serting the key in the keyholes. For fur-
ther information, see “Side doors” on page
38 and “Trunk lid” on page 47 in this
Section.
Start function— You can shift the power
supply mode and start the hybrid system
when the electronic key is in the vehicle.
For further information, see “‘POWER’
switch” on page 160 in Section 1 −7 and
“How to start the hybrid system” on page
301 in Section 3.
If the smart key system does not oper-
ate properly because of a system mal-
function, consult your Toyota dealer.
Make sure to bring all of the keys. They
may be necessary to repair the system. STEERING LOCK FUNCTION
When the driver ’s door is opened after
turning off the hybrid system, the steering
wheel will lock.
The steering lock is automatically un-
locked when the “POWER” switch is
pressed. If the indicator light on the
“POWER” switch flashes green, this indi-
cates that the steering wheel remains

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—

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 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

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.)
