The key consists of an electronic key
and a mechanical key. The mechanical
key is for emergency use. If the elec-
tronic key does not operate, you can
open the driver ’s door using the me-
chanical key.1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock or unlock all the doors and can open
the trunk by using the wireless remote
control function or entry function of the
smart key system.
2. Mechanical keys—These keys can lock or unlock the driver’s door and the
glove box. Spare keys should not be left in the
cabin. In the event that a spare key is
left in the cabin, the smart key system
will remain actuated even after the
doors have been locked. Under these
circumstances, the trunk can be opened
even after the driver has exited and
locked the vehicle, increasing the dan-
ger of theft. (Refer to “—Opening trunk
lid with smart key system” on page 47
in this Section.)
To protect items locked in the trunk or the
glove box when using valet parking, leave
the electronic key with the attendant. Keep
the mechanical key with you. For details
about locking the trunk opener switch, see
“—Luggage security system” on page 49
in this Section.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the electronic
keys. These chips are needed to enable
the system to function correctly, so be
careful not to lose these keys.
CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators s
hould
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.

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.

The answerback function (the turn signal
flash and the beep) can be disabled. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.Unlocking operation
Grasp the front outside door handle
(sensors are located on the underside
of the door handles). Only the driver’s
door unlocks when the driver ’s door
handle is grasped. All the doors unlock
when the front passenger ’s door handle
is grasped. At this time two beeps will
be heard and the turn signal lights
flash twice.
The doors may not unlock if the handle
is grasped too quickly. Be sure to confirm
that the doors are unlocked before pulling
the door handle. If the doors do not open
when the handle is pulled, return the han-
dle to its original position. Wearing gloves may slow response time.
For three seconds after the doors have
been locked, the doors cannot be re
−un-
locked via the smart key system.
The answerback function (the turn signal
flash and the beep) can be disabled. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.
When you enter the entry function actua-
tion area, the interior and exterior lights
come on for about 15 seconds. After the
light comes on, all the side doors can be
unlocked by grasping the outside door
handle.
You have 60 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 automatic locking time can also be
set to 30 seconds. For details, contact
your Toyota dealer.
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).

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET
SWITCH
When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.
When rotating the tires on vehicles dif-
fering with front and rear tire inflation
pressures.
When changing the tire size.
To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing: 1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the “POWER” switch off.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (See “Tires” on page
385 in Section 8.)
3. Press the “POWER” switch and set it at ON.
4. Open the glove box, and push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch
until the tire pressure warning light
blinks slowly three times.
5. Leave the system for a few minutes with the “POWER” switch set at ON
and then turn the “POWER” switch off.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
while vehicle is moving, initialization is not
performed.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
accidentally and initialization is performed,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level and initialize the system
again.
If the tire pressure warning light does not
blink slowly three times when you push
and hold the reset switch, initialization has
failed and the tire pressure warning sys-
tem may not work properly. In this case,
initialize the system again. If initialization
cannot be performed, have the system
checked at your Toyota dealer.

The air conditioning filter information
label is placed inside of the glove box
as shown and indicates that a filter has
been installed.
The air conditioning filter prevents dust
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
cleaned or replaced if the air flow of
the air conditioning and heater experi-
ences extreme reductions in operating
efficiency, or if the windows begin to
fog up easily in FRESH mode.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect, clean and replace the air condi-
tioning filter according to the maintenance
schedule. In dusty areas or areas with
heavy traffic flow, such as inner city or
desert areas, early replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance in-
formation, please refer to the “Scheduled
Maintenance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual
Supplement”.)
