(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-
tion.)
■ Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover, floor or in the glove box when the hybrid system is started or “POWER” switch
modes are changed.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.

314 3-3. Using the rear audio system
■Headphones
With some headphones generally available in the market, it may be difficult
to catch signals properly. Toyota recommends the use of Toyota genuine
wireless headphones.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details.
■ Volume
●Adjust the volume when you connect the headphones to the jack. Loud
sounds may have a significant impact on the human body.
● Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assum-
ing that the conversations represent the maximum volume level that the
DVD will play, you may be startled by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this
in mind.
CAUTION

Doing so may cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the rear seat entert ainment system is not used
Keep the display closed.
In the event of an accident or sudden braking, the opened display may hit an
occupant's body, resulting in injury.
■ To prevent accidents and electric shock

■ When the remote controller is not used
Stow the remote controller.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
