HIGHLANDER_UThe installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehic
le could affect
electronic systems such as: 
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense P
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary meas ures or spe-
cial instructions regarding instal lation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers th at will record
certain data, such as:
• Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position
The  recorded  data  varies  according  to  the  vehicle  grade  level  and  options
with  which  it  is  equipped.  These  computers  do  not  record  conver sations  or
sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certai n situations.
●Data Transmission
Your  vehicle  may  transmit  the  data  recorded  in  these  computers  to Toyota
without notification to you.
●Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose  malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party exc ept:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For  research  purposes  where the  data is not  tied to  a  specific   vehicle  or
vehicle owner
●Usage of data collected through Safety Connect (U.S. mainland o nly)
If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to  those ser-
vices,  please  refer  to  the  Safety  Connect  Telematics  Subscription  Service
Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad  and  front  and  rear  pillar  garnishes,  are  damaged  or  cracked ,  have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
● Do  not  place  anything,  such  as  a  cushion,  on  the  front  passenger’s  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents t he sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of  a collision.
■ Modification and disposal of  SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbag s
● Repairs,  modifications,  removal  or  replacement  of  the  steering  wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, s ide and rear
pillars or roof side rails
● Repairs  or  modifications  of  the  front  fender,  front  bumper  or  s ide  of  the
occupant compartment
● Installation  of  a  grille  guard  (bull  bars,  kangaroo  bar,  etc.),   snow  plows,
winches or roof luggage carrier
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
● Installation  of  electronic  devices  such  as  mobile  two-way  radio s  and  CD
players
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disa bility

Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In  August  1996,  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less  phones. Those  guidelines  are   consistent  with  the  safety  stan-
dards  previously  set  by  the  following  U.S.  and  international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP  (National  Council  on  Radi ation  Protection  and  Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP  (International  Commission  on  Non-Ionizing  Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers,  and  physicians  from  unive rsities,  and  government  health
agencies and industries reviewed  the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.

Operation of each component
HIGHLANDER_U■
When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attenda nt (vehi-
cles with a smart key system)
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 467)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.
■ If you lose your keys
New  genuine  keys  can  be  made  by  your  Toyota  dealer  using  the  ot her  key
(vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  or  the  other  mechanical  k ey  (vehicles
with  a  smart  key  system)  and  the  key  number  stamped  on  your  key  number
plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not  in the vehicle.
■ 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 the key in your bag etc., ensure tha t 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 a smart key system
The wireless remote control  function may  not operate  normally  i n the follow-
ing situations:
● When the wireless key battery is depleted
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  stati on,  large  dis-
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  wav es  or  electrical
noise
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone  or  other  wireles s  communi-
cation device
● When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a me tallic object
● When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used near by
● When the wireless key has been left near an electrical applianc e such as a
personal computer
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
rear window

Key battery depletion
Vehicles without a smart key system
If  the  wireless  remote  control  function  does  not  operate,  the  b attery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 551)
Vehicles with a smart key system
● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. 
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin wh en the engine
stops. ( P. 607)
● 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. 551)
• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not o perate.
• 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 3 ft. (1
m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnet ic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■ When the key battery is fully depleted
P. 551
■ Confirmation  of  the  registered   key  number  (vehicles  with  a  smar t  key
system)
The  number  of  electronic  keys  already  registered  to  the  vehicle   can  be  con-
firmed. Ask your Toyota dealer for details.
■ If a wrong key is used (vehicles with a smart key system)
The key cylinder rotates freely to isolate inside mechanism.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. wireless remote control system) can be changed.
