For safety and security
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle. 
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does 
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.

( P. 104)

make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the alarm, 
as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle. 
Turn the power switch off.

■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor 
● The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor are canceled. 
● After the intrusion sensor are canceled, pressing the power switch or 
unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will
re-enable the intrusion sensor. 
● The intrusion sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the alarm sys- 
tem is deactivated. 
■ Intrusion sensor detection considerations 
The sensor may trigger the alar m in the following situations: 
● Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is 
subject to repeated impacts or vibrations: 
• When parked in a parking garage 
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc. 
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed 
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm 
● A window is open.  
In this case, the sensor may detect the 
following: 
• Wind or the movement of objects 
such as leaves and insects inside the 
vehicle 
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from
devices such as the intrusion sensors 
of other vehicles 
• The movement of people outside the
vehicle 
● Unstable items, such as dangling acces- 
sories or clothes hanging on the coat 
hooks, are in the vehicle.

1423-1. Key information
PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin, and the smart
entry & start system warning light will flash (vehicles without multi-informa-
tion display) or a message will be displayed on the multi-information display
(vehicles with multi-information display) when the hybrid system stops. 
(P. 476)
●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. 417)
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not
operate.
• 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 1 m (3
ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■Replacing the battery
P. 417
■Confirmation of the registered key number
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
