that emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication devices
• Another electronic key or a wire- less key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal
digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players

attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, 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 the EV system is
started or power 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 reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to lo ck or unlock the
vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the EV system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock 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 au tomatically be
locked after approximately 60 sec-
onds 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 possib ility that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor
while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
●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

WARNING
■Caution regarding interfer-
ence with electronic devices
●People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac
resynchronization therapy-
pacemakers or implantable car-
dioverter defibrillators should
keep away from the smart key
system antennas. ( P.187)
The radio waves may affect the
operation of such devices. If
necessary, the entry function
can be disabled. Ask your Toy-
ota dealer for details, such as
the frequency of radio waves
and timing of the emitted radio
waves. Then, consult your doc-
tor to see if you should disable
the entry function.
●User of any electrical medical
device other than implantable
cardiac pacemakers, cardiac
resynchronization therapy-
pacemakers or implantable car-
dioverter defibrillators should
consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its
operation under the influence of
radio waves.
Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation
of such medical devices.
Ask your Toyota dealer for details
for disabling the entry function.

■Brake control operation when
Advanced Park is operating
While the Advanced Park is operat-
ing, if the system determines that
the possibility of collision with
detected moving or stationary object
is high, the EV system output
restriction control and brake control
will operate.
If brake control operates, Advanced
Park operation will be suspended
and a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
■Buzzer
Depending on surrounding sounds
or sounds from other systems, it
may be difficult to hear the buzzer of
this system.
■If a black screen is displayed on
the multimedia display when
the Advanced Park is operating
The system is being affected by
radio waves or may be malfunction-
ing. If a radio antenna is installed
near a camera, move it to a location
as far from the cameras as possible.
If a radio antenna is not installed
near a camera, and the screen does
not return to normal after turning the
power switch off and then starting
the EV system agai n, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■Function description
The perpendicular parking (for-
ward/reverse) function can be
used if the target parking space
can be detected when the vehi-
cle is stopped close and perpen-
dicular to the center of the parking space. Also, depending
on the condition of the parking
space, etc., if it is necessary to
change the direction of travel of
the vehicle, the shift position can
be changed by assistance con-
trol.
■Parking using the perpen-
dicular parking (for-
ward/reverse) function
1 Stop the vehicle at a position
close and perpendicular to
the center of the target park-
ing space.
