Operation of each component
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant (type
D)
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 389)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.
■If you lose your keys
New genuine key can be made by your Toyota dealer using the other key and
the key number stamped on your key number plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
■When riding in an aircraft (type C or type D)
When bringing an wireless remote control function onto an aircraft, make sure
you do not press any button 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.

ing situations:
