NOTICE
■Back door spindles
The back door is equipped with 
spindles that hold the back door in 
place.
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may cause 
damage to the back door spindle, 
resulting in malfunction.
●Do not attach any foreign 
objects, such as stickers, plastic 
sheets, or adhesives to the 
spindle rod.
●Do not attach any accessories 
other than genuine Toyota parts 
to the back door.
●Do not place your hand on the 
spindle or apply lateral forces to 
it.
■To prevent back door closer 
malfunction
Do not apply excessive force to 
the back door while the back door 
closer is operating. Applying 
excessive force may cause the 
back door closer to malfunction.
■To prevent malfunction of the 
power back door
●Make sure that there is no ice 
between the back door and 
frame that would prevent move-
ment of the back door. Operat-
ing the power back door when 
excessive load is present on the 
back door may cause a mal-
function.
●Do not apply excessive force to 
the power back door while the 
back door is operating.
●Take care not to damage the 
sensors (installed on the right 
and left edges of the power 
back door) with a knife or other 
sharp object. If a sensor is dis-
connected, the power back door 
will not close automatically.

■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be 
activated in order to prevent the 
electronic key battery and the vehi-
cle battery from being discharged 
while the vehicle is not operated for 
a long time.
●In the following situations, the 
smart key system may take some 
time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left  within approximately 11 ft. (3.5 m) 
of the outside of the vehicle for 2 
minutes or longer.
• The smart key system has not 
been used for 5 days or longer.
●If the smart key system has not 
been used for 14 days or longer, 
the doors cannot be unlocked 
from any door except the driver’s 
door. In this case, hold the driver’s 
door handle, or use the wireless 
remote control or  mechanical key 
to unlock the doors.
■Electronic key battery-saving 
function
When battery-saving mode is set, 
battery depletion is minimized by 
stopping the electronic key from 
receiving radio waves. Press   twice while pressing and 
holding  . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is 
set, the smart key system cannot be 
used. To cancel the function, press 
any of the electronic key buttons.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak 
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between 
the electronic key and the vehicle 
may be affected, preventing the 
smart key system, wireless remote 
control and engine immobilizer sys-
tem from operating properly.
●When the electronic key battery is 
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power 
plant, gas station, radio station, 
large display, airport or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio 
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, 
cellular phone, cordless phone or 
other wireless communication 
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is  attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi- num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags

( P.531).
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals 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 within 
the effective range, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.120)
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
message may be shown on the 
multi-information display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all 
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work 
properly if it comes into contact 
with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a 
handle operation immediately 
after entering the effective range 
may prevent the doors from being 
unlocked. Touch the door unlock 
sensor and check that the doors 
are unlocked be fore pulling the 
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in 
the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors 
after the door handle is gripped.
●Fingernails may scrape against 
the door during operation of the  door handle. Be careful not to 
injure fingernails or damage the 
surface of the door.
■When the vehicle is not driven 
for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be 
deactivated in advance. (
P.563)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce 
key battery depletion. ( P.120)
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic 
key when operating the system. Do 
not get the electronic key too close 
to the vehicle when operating the 
system from the outside of the vehi-
cle.
Depending on the position and hold-
ing condition of the electronic key,
