Before driving
FT86_EE
Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a smart entry & start system)
To take out the mechanical key,
slide the release lever and take
the key out.
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 entry
function does not operate prop-
erly, you will need the mechanical
key. (P. 405)
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place, not in the vehicle. In the event that a key
(without a smart entry & start system) or mechanical key (with a smart entry
& start system) is lost, a new key can be made by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, using
the key number plate. (P. 404)
When riding in an aircraft
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.

time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 2 m (6 ft.)
of the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.

ations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may
be affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote con-
trol and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Way of coping P. 405)
