To  take  out  the  mechanical  key,
push  the  release  button  and  take
the key out.
The  mechanical  key  can  only  be
inserted  in  one  direction,  as  the

lock  cylinder,  turn  it  over  and  reat-
tempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical  key  together  with  the  electronic  key.  If  the  electronic  key
battery is depleted or the ent ry function does not operate prop erly, you
will need the mechanical key. ( P. 523)

the electronic key only.

deter any person from trying to break into
or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the

■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following si tuations, the
communication  between  the  electronic  key  and  the  vehicle  may  be   affected,
preventing the smart key system, wireless remote control and en gine immobi-
lizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping:  P. 523)
● When the electronic 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,  cordless  phone  or  other
wireless communication device
● When  the  electronic  key  is  in  contact  with,  or  is  covered  by  th e  following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
● When  carrying  the  electronic  key  together  with  the  following  devices  that
emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits  radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
back window
● When  the  electronic  key  is  placed  near  a  battery  charger  or  ele ctronic
devices
■ 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

Driving
WARNING
■If you hear a squealing or scrap ing noise (brake pad wear limit indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer  as soon
as possible. 
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when neede d.
It  is  dangerous  to  drive  the  vehicle  when  the  wear  limits  of  the  brake  pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
■ When the vehicle is stopped
● Do not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may move sud-
denly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
● In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away,  always keep
depressing  the  brake  pedal  while  the  engine  is  running,  and  app ly  the
parking brake as necessary.
● If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent ac cidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the  brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
● Avoid revving or racing the engine. 
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped m ay cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.
■ When the vehicle is parked
● Do  not  leave  glasses,  cigarette  lighters,  spray  cans,  or  soft  d rink  cans  in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas  may  leak  from  a  cigarette  lighter  or  spray  can,  and  may  le ad  to  a
fire.
• The  temperature  inside  the  vehicle  may  cause  the  plastic  lenses  and plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft  drink  cans  may  rupture,  causing  the  contents  to  spray  ove r  the
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
● Do  not  leave  cigarette  lighters  in  the  vehicle.  If  a  cigarette  lighter  is  in  a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit acci dentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
● Do  not  attach  adhesive  discs  to  the  windshield  or  windows.  Do  n ot  place
containers  such  as  air  fresheners  on  the  instrument  panel  or  da shboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire  in the vehi-
cle.
