• When the back door contacts an  obstacle 
• When the battery voltage suddenly  
drops, such as when the engine  switch is turned to ON or the engine is started during automatic opera- 
tion
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy 
object is attached to the back door,  it may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s  
hands, head or neck to be caught  and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door,  
using a genuine Toyota part is rec- ommended.

■Conditions affecting operation 
The smart entry & start 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 entry & start system, wireless remote control  
and engine immobilizer system from  operating properly. (Ways of coping:  P.437)
●When the electronic key battery is  depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis- 
play, airport or other facility that gen- erates strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellu-lar phone, cordless phone or other  
wireless communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact 
with, or is covered by the 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 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 digi-tal assistants (PDAs) 
• Digital audio players • Portable game systems
●I f  w i n d o w  t i n t  w i t h  a  m e t a l l i c  c o n t e n t  o r  metallic objects are attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic  
devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay 
parking spot where radio waves are  emitted 
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked  
using the smart entry & start system,  lock/unlock the doors by performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to either front door handle and operate the  
entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote control. 
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked  using the above methods, use the mechanical key. ( P.437) 
If the engine cannot be started using the  smart entry & start system refer to P.438.
■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 unlocked. 
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Before driving
the engine is started or engine switch  
modes 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 wave 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 elec- tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be locked or unlocked by anyone. How- 
ever, only the doors detecting the  electronic 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 locked after  
approximately 30 seconds if the doors  are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is near the vehicle, there is a pos- 
sibility that the door may not be  unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock  
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent  lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-nals will be shown up to two consecu- 
tive times. After this, no recognition  signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-tive range, the door may lock and  
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow  the following correction procedures to  
wash the vehicle: 
• Place the electronic key in a location 2  m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-cle. (Take care to ensure that the key  
is not stolen.) • Set the electronic key to battery-sav-ing mode to disable the smart entry &  
start system. ( P.137)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- 
cle and a door handle becomes wet  during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis- 
play and a buzzer will sound outside  the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-erly 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 han-dle operation immediately after enter-ing the effective range may prevent  
the doors from being unlocked. Touch  the door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling  
the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the 
detection area, it may take slightly lon- ger to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for  
extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not 
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6  ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. ( P.457)
●Setting the electronic key to battery- saving mode helps to reduce key bat-tery depletion. ( P.137)
■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 vehi- 
cle when operating the system from the  outside of the vehicle.Depending on the position and holding  
condition of the electronic key, the key  may not be detected correctly and the

WARNING
■Caution regarding interference  with electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-zation therapy-pacemakers or  
implantable cardioverter defibrilla- tors should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and  
the smart entry & start system  antennas. ( P.136) The radio waves may affect the  
operation of such devices. If neces- sary, the entry function can be dis-abled. Ask any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized  repairer, or any reliable repairer for details, such as the frequency of  
radio waves and timing of the emit- ted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable  
the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical 
device other than implantable car- diac pacemakers, cardiac resyn-chronization therapy-pacemakers  
or implantable cardioverter defibril- lators should consult the manufac-turer of the device for information  
about its operation under the influ- ence of radio waves.Radio waves could have unex- 
pected effects on the operation of  such medical devices. 
Ask any authorized Toyota retailer or  Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer for details on disabling  
the entry function.
