CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
■Tr u n k l i g h t
The trunk light turns on when the trunk is opened.
■Function to prevent the trunk being locked with the electronic key inside
(vehicles with a smart key system)
●When all doors are locked, closing the trunk lid with the electronic key left
inside the trunk will sound an alarm.
In this case, the trunk lid can be opened by pressing the trunk release but-
ton on the trunk lid.
●If the spare electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors locked, the
key confinement prevention function is activated so the trunk can be
opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys with you when
leaving the vehicle.
●If the electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors locked, the key may
not be detected depending on the location of the key and the surrounding
radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement prevention function
cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the trunk is closed.
Make sure to check where the key is before closing the trunk.
●The key confinement prevention function cannot be activated if any one of
the doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk using the trunk opener.
■Open trunk warning buzzer
If the vehicle reaches a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h), the master warning light
flashes and a buzzer sounds to indicate that the trunk is not yet fully closed.
