■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year and
a half.)
●If the battery is low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the hybrid system is
started or stopped. ( P. 154)
●The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because the
key always receives radio waves. If the smart entry & start system or the wireless
remote control does not operate, or the detection area becomes smaller, the bat-
tery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 532)
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.) of
the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
