display*2
*1: Pressing and holding the button 
will reset the trip meter.
*2: Pressing and holding the button
will adjust brightness of the instru-
ment panel lights. 
For vehicles with multi-information 
display type A: Only the meter

■ The meters illuminate when 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start 
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system). 
■ The brightness of the instrument panel lights (vehicles with multi-infor- 
mation display) 
The instrument panel brightness levels when the tail lights are on and off can 
be adjusted individually. (on vehicles with multi-information display type A,
only the meter panel brightness can be adjusted) 
When the headlight switch is turned to on, the brightness will be reduced 
slightly unless the instrument panel brightness level is set to the brightest set-
ting. 
■ When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals

1563-1. Key information
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE) 
■ If you lose your keys 
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a master key (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type (vehicles 
with smart entry & start system), 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, D, E and F) 
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. 
■ Key battery depletion
Vehicles without smart entry & start system 
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 575)
Vehicles with smart entry & start system 
 P. 189 
■ If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or engine switch 
mode, etc. is shown 
To prevent trapping the electronic key in side the vehicle, leaving the vehicle 
without turning off the engine switch  or other passengers from unintentionally 
taking the key out of the vehicle, etc., a message that prompts the user to
confirm the state of the electronic key or engine switch mode may be shown 
on the multi-information display. In those cases, follow the instructions on the 
display immediately. 
■ If “KEY BATTERY LOW”/“Key battery low” is shown on the multi-infor- 
mation display (if equipped) 
The electronic key has a low battery. Replace the electronic key battery. 
■ Replacing the electronic key battery 
 P. 575 
■ Confirmation of the registered key number 
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer for details.

Operation of each component
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE) 
■ Effective range (areas within which the electronic key is detected) 
When starting the engine or changing engine switch modes 
The system can be operated when the electronic key is inside the vehicle. 
(The electronic key is not detected when it is on the floor or on the instru- 
ment panel.) 
■ Battery-saving function 
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic 
key battery and the battery from being discharged while the vehicle is not in
operation for a long time. 
■ Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function 
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping 
the electronic key from receiving radio waves. 
When locking or unlocking the doors 
The system can be operated when the 
electronic key is within about 0.7 m (2.3 
ft.) of either of the lock/unlock button on 
the outside door handle. (Only the
doors detecting the key can be oper- 
ated.) 
Press   twice while pressing and 
holding  . Confirm that the electronic 
key indicator flashes 4 times.

■ Conditions affecting operation 
The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the following situa- 
tions, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control 
and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.  
(Ways of coping:  P. 644)

● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis- 
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical
noise 
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other 
wireless communication device 
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following 
metallic objects 
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached 
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside 
• Metallic wallets or bags 
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal 
• Media such as CDs and DVDs 
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity 
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby 
● When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that 
emit radio waves 
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a  wireless key that emits radio waves 
• Personal computers or pers onal digital assistants (PDAs) 
• Digital audio players
