Note for locking the doors
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
● If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the electronic
key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle while the vehicle
is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
● The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or
use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.
● Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.
■ Note for the unlocking function
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle
again.
● If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■ When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m)
of the vehicle.
■ To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
● Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.

Operation of each component
4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B37U)
■Jam protection function
During Automatic running boards operation:
If a board contacts an obstacle when extending, it will retract. If an obstacle
gets caught between a board and the vehicle when retracting, the board will
extend.
If an obstacle is detected 3 times in a row during Automatic running boards
operation, the board will stop at the position it contacts the obstacle. When a
side door on the same side as the board is opened and closed one more
time, the board will extend and retract, or retract and extend. After this, the
board will resume normal operation.
■ Automatic retraction function
The boards will be automatically retracted, for safety, under the following con-
ditions:
●A board is not completely retracted
● Vehicle speed is approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or higher
The boards will not automatically extend again when vehicle speed returns to
less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
■ If the Automatic running boards indicator comes on when driving first
commences
A board has not completely retracted. Check that nothing is caught between
the board and the vehicle.
Additionally, if the engine is started immediately after a door has been closed,
the automatic running board may not retract completely and the automatic
running boards indicator may illuminate. In this case, open and close the door
to retract the running board and turn off the indicator.
■ If the Automatic running boa rds indicator light flashes
There may be a malfunction in the Automatic running boards system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ When snow or mud is attached to the board or the board is frozen
The Automatic running boards may not operate correctly. Before stepping on
a board, check that it is completely extended. If the Automatic running boards
are not operating correctly, turn the Automatic running boards switch off and
refrain from use.
When removing snow or mud, turn the Automatic running boards switch off.
■ After recharging/reco nnecting the battery
If the Automatic running boards have not completely extended or retracted,
the boards may not move in the intended direction the first time they are oper-
ated. However, from the second time onwards, the boards will resume normal
operation.
■ When getting in and out of the vehicle
Take care because clothes and shoes may become dirty due to contact with
the lower part of the vehicle body.

CAUTION
■Jam protection function
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the
object that is caught. Be careful not to get fingers or other body parts
caught.
■ Cautions regarding the Automatic running boards
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
● Check to make sure that all passengers and people in the vehicle’s sur-
rounding area do not have a hand on a board or any part of their body in a
position where it could be caught between a board and the vehicle when
an Automatic running board is being operated.
● Confirm that the boards have completely extended or retracted before get-
ting in or out of the vehicle. If someone gets in or out of the vehicle during
Automatic running board operation, the boards may stop extending or
retracting.
● Drive the vehicle after confirming that the boards have completely
retracted. Driving with a board extended is dangerous because it may hit
other people or objects.
● Take care when pressing the Automatic running boards switch. The board
will extend or retract and may hit other people or objects.
● Always check that the Automatic running boards switch is turned off when
cleaning a board.
● Do not allow children to operate the Automatic running boards.
Operating Automatic running boards in a manner so that a board contacts
someone can cause serious injury, and in some instances, even death.
