■Notes for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following ca ses:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked o r
unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the door pockets or glove box, auxiliary box when the engine is sta rted or
“ENGINE START STOP” switch modes are changed.
● Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly tr apping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, th e doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
● The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electroni c key is
within the effective range. (The door will automatically be loc ked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed .)
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock th e door.
● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when t he elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote con trol to
unlock the doors.)
● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pullin g the door
handle again.

Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators s hould main-
tain a reasonable distance between themselves and the smart key system
antennas. ( P. 27)
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If ne cessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entr y function.
● User of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant able
cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for
information about its operation under the influence of radio wa ves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
Ask your Toyota dealer for details for disabling the entry func tion.
