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 28 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 engine. For further information,
see “Side doors” on page 36 and “Trunk
lid” on page 46 in this Section, and see
“How to start the engine” on page 316 in
Section 3.
STARTING THE ENGINE WHEN THE
ELECTRONIC KEY BATTERY IS
DISCHARGED
If the key indicator does not flash and
the engine cannot be started by using
the start function, the battery may be
discharged. Replace the key battery as
soon as possible. (See “Wireless re-
mote control” on page 20 in this Sec-
tion.)
However the engine can be started in the
following procedures.
1. While the brake pedal is depressed,
touch the Toyota logo side of the
electronic key to the “ENGINE START

2. Start the engine within 5 seconds after
the green indicator light on the
“ENGINE START STOP” 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”
on page 36 in this Section.)To reactivate the smart key system, per-
form any of the following:
(a) Press the lock button on the front out-
side door handle or trunk open button
while carrying the electronic key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control op-
eration.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in
the keyhole of the driver’s door.If the electronic key receives strong elec-
tromagnetic waves over a period of time,
the battery can be drastically run down.
You should always keep the following
electrical appliances at least 1 m (3 ft.)
away from the electronic key.
TV
Personal computer
Cellular phone or cordless phone re-
charger unit
Electric light stand
Fluorescent desk light

nected and then reconnected when the
vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights, turn
signal lights and interior light.

CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
The system will be cancelled by the
above mentioned 3 ways.
If the tail lights come on for 2 seconds,

alarmed. Check to see if there is any
abnormality with your vehicle.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described above.
The doors should be locked with the
key, wireless remote control or entry
function of the smart key system. Be
sure to wait until the indicator light
starts flashing.
3. Unlock any door from the inside. The
system should activate the alarm.
4. Stop the alarm as described above.
5. Repeat this operation for the other
doors, trunk and hood. When testing
the hood, also check that the system
is activated when the battery terminal
is disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
