AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■When riding in an aircraft
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 a 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.
■Conditions affecting operation
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations:
●Near a TV tower, radio station, electric power plant, airport or other facility
that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless communi-
cation device
●When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
●When the wireless key has come into contact with, or is covered by a metal-
lic object
●When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
●When the wireless key has been left near an electrical appliance such as a
personal computer
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
●Sedan: If a metallic object is placed on the package tray

AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■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. 493)

the wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection area
becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when
necessary. (P. 493)
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
stops. (P. 150, 552)
●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
• Glass top ranges
• Table lamps

NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
● Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
● Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of time.
● Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
● Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
● Do not disassemble the keys.
● Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the key with wire-
less remote control function.
● Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as
TVs, audio systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical equip-
ment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.
■ Carrying the electronic key on your person (vehicles with smart entry
& start system)
Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appli-
ances that are turned on. Radio wave s emitted from electric appliances
within 10 cm (3.9 in.) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
ing the key to not function properly.
■ In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related
problems (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■ When an electronic key is lost (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem)
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-
cantly. Visit any authorized Toyota reta iler or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer imm ediately with all remaining electronic keys that
were provided with your vehicle.
