■Battery precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not swallow the battery. Doing
so may cause chemical burns.
●A coin battery or button battery is
used in the wireless remote con- trol/electronic key. If a battery is
swallowed, it may cause severe
chemical burns in as little as 2 hours and may result in death or
serious injury.
●Keep away new and removed bat-
teries from children.

stop using the wireless remote con-
trol/electronic key and stow the key in the place where children cannot
reach, and then contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●If you accidentally swallow a battery or put a battery into a part of your
body, get emergency medical atten-
tion immediately.
■To prevent battery explosion or
leakage of flammable liquid or gas
●Replace the battery with a new bat-
tery of the same type. If a wrong type of battery is used, it may
explode.
●Do not expose batteries to
extremely low pressure due to high
altitude or extremely high tempera- tures.
●Do not burn, break or cut a battery.
