NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
Do not affix any material that cuts
off electromagnetic waves (such as
a metal seal) on the key.
 Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
 Do not leave the key exposed to
high temperatures for a long period,
such as on the dashboard or hood
under direct sunlight.
 Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
 Do not keep the key together with
the products emitting electromag-
netic waves such as a cellular
phone.

KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by a Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.

DEACTIVATION USING THE SMART
FUNCTION
The hybrid vehicle immobilizer system
is a theft prevention system. When you
enter the vehicle carrying a smart key
and press the “POWER” switch, the
electronic code in the key is automati-
cally checked to determine whether it
corresponds to the registered ID code
for the vehicle. If the ID code is veri-
fied, you can start the hybrid system.

21p007b
The system is automatically set when the
hybrid system is off and driver ’s door is
opened. The indicator light will start flash-
ing to show the system is set.
If any of the following indicator conditions
occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
The indicator light stays on except
when the theft deterrent system is set-
ting or activating. (See “Theft deterrent
system” on page 46.)
The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the hybrid system is off and
driver ’s door is opened.
The indicator light flashes inconsistent-
ly.Carrying a smart key and pressing the
“POWER” switch automatically cancels the
system, which e
nables the hybrid system
to start. The indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built −in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and master key. However, there is a limit
to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disas-
semble the hybrid vehicle immobilizer
system. If any unauthorized changes
or modifications are made, proper op-
eration of the system cannot be guar-
anteed.

DEACTIVATION USING THE KEY
The hybrid vehicle immobilizer system
is a theft prevention system. When you
insert the key in the key slot, the trans-
ponder chip in the key transmits an
electronic code to the vehicle. The hy-
brid system will start only when the
electronic code in the chip corresponds
to the registered ID code for the ve-
hicle.

INFORMATION
Be sure to take the smart key with
you.
In the following cases, the smart
function or wireless remote control
feature may not operate properly. (If
this happens, use a mechanical key
to lock or unlock the driver’s door
and a smart key to start the hybrid
system.) When facilities issuing strong
electromagnetic waves such as
TV towers, electric power sta-
tions, broadcasting stations are
nearby.
 When you are carrying a smart
key together with a mobile com-
munications system such as a
twoway radio or cellular phone.
 When the smart key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic ob-
ject.
 When another person is operating
a wireless remote control func-
tion on another vehicle near your
vehicle.
If you do not drive your vehicle,
store the smart key, keeping it at
least 5 m (16 ft.) away from the ve-
hicle.CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators s hould keep
away from the smart entry and start
system antennas, because the radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see “ANTENNA LOCATIONS”
on page 26.
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 smart function can
be disabled. See “DEACTIVATING
THE SMART FUNCTION” on page
34.

UNLOCKING THE DOOR(S) WITH
SMART FUNCTION
The smart entry and start system can
be used to unlock the door(s) without
being inserted into the door keyhole.
When you get close to your vehicle (about
1 m (3 ft.) from each outside front door
handle), and are carrying the smart key,
the electronic code emitted from the key
is automatically checked to determine if it
corresponds to the registered ID code for
the vehicle. When you take hold of the
side back of the outside door handle sur-
face, it will unlock. At this time, two
beeps sound and the turn signal lights
flash twice.When you push and hold down the back
door opener switch, carrying the smart
key, the ID code is checked in the same
way as in the front door case. And all the
doors will unlock. At this time, two beeps
sound and the turn signal lights flash
twice.
When you get close to your vehicle (about
1 m or 3 ft. from either front door), carry-
ing the smart key or unlock the back door
using smart key function, the interior light
comes on for 15 seconds if the interior
light switch is in the “DOOR” position.
However, the interior lights go out when
you push the power door lock switch in
the lock position or press the “POWER”
switch once or twice from the off setting
to select the “ACC” or “IG
−ON” mode
without depressing the brake pedal. For
further information, see “Interior lights” on
page 115.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
operating the smart unlocking function. If
a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
INFORMATION
The rear doors are not equipped
with smart function.
When unlocking the door(s), be sure
to take hold of the back side of the
outside door handle firmly as
shown in the illustration. Taking
hold of the handle with a gloved
hand might cause a delay in unlock-
ing.

33
INFORMATION
When changing the mode, be sure
to push both lock and panic but-
tons firmly, or panic alarm may be
activated.
 This operation will not change the
wireless remote control unlocking
function.
 In the single or driver’s door un-
locking mode, if you get into the
vehicle from the driver’s door carry-
ing the smart key, all the smart un-
locking controls activated by the
smart key will be stopped for secu-
rity. If you get out of the vehicle
from the driver’s door carrying the
smart key and get out of the effec-
tive range of the smart function,
unlocking control by the smart key
will be possible. However, unlocking
control may not be carried out for
5 seconds after you get out from
the vehicle. In this case, operate
unlock control again after 5 sec-
onds.
BATTERY POWER SAVING
When doors are locked, the smart entry
and start system transmits electromagnetic
waves to the outside of the vehicle at
regular intervals. For this reason, the ve-
hicle battery will be discharged if the ve-
hicle is left for a long time. If the key is
left within the effective range of the smart
function outside of the vehicle, the key
and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic
waves periodically. If these conditions con-
tinue for a long time, the battery in the
key and vehicle will be discharged.
To prevent the batteries from being dis-
charged, the smart function is automatical-
ly deactivated in the following conditions:
If there is no response from the key
for more than 14 days
If the key is left within the effective
range of the smart function outside of
the vehicle for more than 10 minutes To reactivate the smart function, perform
any of the following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside front door handle or back door while
carrying the smart key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control op- eration.
(c) Insert and turn the mechanical key in the keyhole of the driver’s door.
