When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
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.
NOTICE
To prevent key damage
Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of time.
Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
Do not disassemble the keys.
Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.
Type C: Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields,
such as TVs, audio systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical
equipment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.
Carrying the electronic key on your person (type C)
Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appli-
ances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances
within 10 cm (3.9 in.) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
ing the key to not function properly.
In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related
problems (type C)
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
When an electronic key is lost (type C)
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-
cantly. Visit any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional immediately with all remaining electronic
keys that was provided with your vehicle.
