HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
For safety and security
Engine immobilizer system
Vehicles without smart entry & 
start system: 
The indicator light flashes after 
the key has been removed from 
the engine switch to indicate that 
the system is operating. 
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the registered key has been 
inserted into the engine switch to 
indicate that the system has been 
canceled.
: If equipped
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent 
the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis- 
tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer.  
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi- 
cle. 
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

Operation of each component
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE) 
■ 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) 
● When the electronic key battery is depleted 
● 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 
• Portable game systems 
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
