Operation of each component
■Note 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 cases:
• 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 or unl ocked.
• The  electronic  key  is  on  the  instrument  panel  or  floor,  or  in  the  console
box or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch mo des 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 w ave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the  cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping 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. However, only the doors detecting  the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
● 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  or  lock  if  a  large  amount  of  water  splashes  on  the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash, when the electronic key is
within  the  effective  range.  (The  doors  will  automatically  be  lo cked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● If  the  wireless  remote  control  is  used  to  lock  the  doors  when  t he  electronic
key  is  near  the  vehicle,  there  is  a  possibility  that  the  door  m ay  not  be
unlocked  by  the  entry  function.  (Use  the  wireless  remote  contro l  to  unlock
the doors.)
● Touching  the  door  lock  or  unlock  sensor  while wearing  gloves  ma y  prevent
lock  or  unlock  operation.  Remove  the  gloves  and  touch  the  lock  sensor
again.
● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, rec ognition sig-
nals  will  be  shown  up  to  two  consecutive  times. After  this,  no  recognition
signals will be given.
● If the  door  handle becomes  wet while the  electronic  key  is with in the  effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place  the  electronic  key  in  a  location  6  ft.  (2  m)  or  more  awa y  from  the
vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set  the  electronic  key  to  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  s mart  key
system. ( P. 133)
● If  the  electronic  key  is  inside  the  vehicle  and  a  door  handle  b ecomes  wet
during  a  car  wash,  a  message  may  be  shown  on  the  multi-informat ion  dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off t he alarm, lock
all the doors.

NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the power outlet and the plug
● Close the power outlet lid when not in use.
● Do  not  allow  foreign  objects  or  liquids  to  enter  the  power  outl et,  as  this
may cause a short circuit.
● Do not use plug adaptors to connect too many plugs to the power  outlet.
● After removing a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.
■ To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do  not  use  a  120  V  AC  appliance  that  requires  more  than  the  maximum
capacity  of  the  power  outlet.  If  a  120  V AC  appliance  that  cons umes  more
than the maximum capacity is used, the protection circuit will  cut the power
supply.
■ Appliances that may not op erate properly (120 V AC)
The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power con-
sumption is under maximum capacity.
● Appliances with high initial peak wattage
● Measuring devices that process precise data.
● Other appliances that require an  extremely stable power supply
■ To prevent battery discharge
Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories , such as the
headlights and air conditioning, when electrical appliances tha t consume in
excess of 100 W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■ To prevent any damage caused by heat
● Do  not  use  any  electrical  appliances  that  give  off  intense  heat,  such  as
toasters, in any locations including the internal or external t rim, seats and
deck.
● Do not use any electrical appliances that are easily affected b y vibration or
heat inside the vehicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat o f the sun while
parking, may result in damage to those electrical appliances.
■ If any electrical appliances are to be used while driving
Securely  fasten  both  the  appliances  and  their  cables  to  prevent them from
falling or getting caught in any of the power train components.
■ If  the  power  outlet  is  loose  when  an  electrical  appliance  plug  is  con-
nected
Replace  the  outlet.  Contact  your  Toyota  dealer  for  any  necessary  replace-
ments.
■ If the power outlet gets dirty
Turn the main switch off and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe it  gently. Do not
use  any  cleansing  materials,  such  as  organic  solvents,  wax,  or  compound
cleaners, as these may damage the power outlet or cause it to m alfunction.
