Operation of each component
To  take  out  the  mechanical  key,
slide  the  release  lever  and  take
the key out.
The  mechanical  key  can  only  be
inserted  in  one  direction,  as  the
key  only  has  grooves  on  one  side.
If  the  key  cannot  be  inserted  in  a
lock  cylinder,  turn  it  over  and  re-
attempt 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  bat-
tery  is  depleted  or  the  entry  function  does  not  operate  properl y,  you  will
need the mechanical key. ( P. 643)
■Panic mode
■ If you lose your mechanical keys
New  genuine  mechanical  keys  can  be  made  by  your  Toyota  dealer  using
another  mechanical  key  and  the  key  number  stamped  on  your  key  n umber

likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause  the electronic
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation  of the aircraft.

■Rear seat reminder function
●In order to remind you not to forget luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when the
power  switch  is  turned  off  after  any  of  the  following  condition s  are  met,  a
buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the multi- information
display for approximately 6 seconds.
• The hybrid system is started within 10 minutes after opening and closing
a rear door.

Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure  to  do  so  may  result  in  a  door  opening  and  an  occupant  could  be
thrown out of the vehicle, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.
● Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving. 
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be  opened even

■ When opening or closing a door
Check the surroundings of the vehicle such as whether the vehicle is on an
incline,  whether  there  is  enough  space  for  a  door  to  open  and  w hether  a
strong  wind  is  blowing.  When  opening  or  closing  the  door,  hold  the  door
handle tightly to prepare for any unpredictable movement.

caught in the side window or moon roof. Also, do not allow children to oper-
ate the wireless remote control. It is possible for children and other passen-
gers to get caught in the power window or moon roof.

system, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating prop-
erly. (Ways of coping:  P. 643)
