YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
Immobilizer system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system 
The system begins operating after the key has been removed from 
the power switch. The system is canceled after the registered key has 
been inserted into the power switch.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system 
The system begins operating after the power switch has been turned 
off. The system is canceled after the power switch has been turned to 
ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■ System maintenance 
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type immobilizer system. 
■ Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction 
● If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object 
● If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system 
(key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent 
the hybrid system from starting if a key has not been previously 
registered 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.

● 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 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 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 
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless commu- 
nication device 
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a  wireless key that emits radio waves 
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
