For safety and security

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- 
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately. 

1143-1. Key information
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E 
■ Key battery depletion 
● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. 
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine 
stops. ( P. 332) 
● As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become 
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary. ( P. 289) 
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not 
operate. 
• The detection area becomes smaller. 
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on. 
● 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 
• Induction cookers
• Table lamps 
■ Replacing the battery 
 P. 289 
■ 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. 
■ If a wrong key is used 
The key cylinder rotates freely to isolate inside mechanism. 
■ Customization 
Settings (e.g. wireless remote control system) can be changed.  
(Customizable features:  P. 380)

3
Operation of each component
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E
■Operation signals 
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/ 
unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice) 
■ Security feature 
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is 
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again. (How-
ever, depending on the location of the electronic key, the key may be 
detected as being in the vehicle. In this case, vehicle may be unlocked.) 
■ When the door cannot be locked by the lock sensor 
■ Door lock buzzer 
If an attempt to lock the doors is made when a door is not fully closed, a 
buzzer sounds continuously. Fully close the door to stop the buzzer, and lock 
the vehicle once more. 
■ If the smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not 
operate properly 
● Use the mechanical key to lock and unlock the doors. (P. 356) 
● Replace the key battery with a new one if it is depleted. (P. 289)

the lock sensor on the surface of the door 
handle is touched by a finger, touch the 
lock sensor with the palm. 
When gloves are being worn, remove the 
gloves.

Operation of each component
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E 
■ When “Check entry & start system.” is displayed on the multi-informa- 
tion display 
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho- 
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer 
immediately. 
■ Battery-saving function 
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic 
key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is
not in operation for a long time. 
● In the following situations, the smart entry & start system may take some 
time to unlock the doors. 
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 2 m (6 ft.) of 
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer. 
• The smart entry & start system has not been used for 5 days or longer. 
● If the smart entry & start system has not been used for 14 days or longer, 
the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door.  
In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote 
control or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors. 
■ Electronic key battery-saving function 
When battery-saving mode is set, battery 
depletion is minimized by stopping the 
electronic key from receiving radio waves. 
Press   twice while pressing and hold- 
ing  . Confirm that the electronic key 
indicator flashes 4 times. 
While the battery-saving mode is set, the 
smart entry & start system cannot be 
used. To cancel the function, press any of
the electronic key buttons.
