1
Before driving
Using the mechanical key (vehicles with smart key system)
Take out the mechanical key.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the electronic key. If the electronic
key battery is depleted or the
entry function does not operate
properly, you will need the
mechanical key. (P. 473)
■When required to leave a key to th e vehicle with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box and the trunk storage extension as circumstances
demand. Set the luggage security system. ( P. 50, 322, 339)
Vehicles with smart key system: Remove the mechanical key for your own
use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.
Vehicles without smart key system: Carry the master key for your own use
and leave the valet key only with the attendant.
■ Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a key is lost, a new key can be made by your Toyota dealer using
the key number plate. ( P. 472)
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircra\
ft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc, ensure that the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

32 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
■Effective range (areas within which the electronic key is
detected)

the trunk release button.
■Operation signals

have been locked/unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)
■ Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations,
the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from
operating properly. (Ways of coping: P. 473)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted

● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control func-
tion. ( P. 4 0 )
● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key. ( P. 473)
■ Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted
even if the electronic key is not used.) If the smart key system or the
wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection area
becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when
necessary. ( P. 406)
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. ( P. 36, 454)
● To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft.
(1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field.
