NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not drop the keys, subject 
them to strong shocks, or bend 
them.
●Do not expose the keys to high 
temperatures for long periods of 
time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash 
them in an ultrasonic washer, 
etc.
●Do not attach m etallic or mag-
netic materials to the keys or 
place the keys close to such 
materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a s ticker or any-
thing else to the surface of the 
electronic key.
●Do not place the keys near 
objects that produce magnetic 
fields, such as TVs, audio sys-
tems and induction cookers.
●Do not place the keys near 
medical electrical equipment 
such as low-frequency therapy 
equipment or microwave ther-
apy equipment, and do not 
receive medical  attention with 
the keys on your person.
■Carrying the electronic key

waves are emitted.
■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

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
consists of the driving 
assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
operates under the assumption 
that the driver will drive safely, 
and is designed to help reduce 
the impact to the occupants in a 
collision and assist the driver 
under normal driving conditions. 
As there is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not ov erly rely on this 
system. The driver is solely 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s surroundings and 
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not 
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited. 
Over-reliance on this system to 
drive the vehicle safely may 
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may 
not operate properly, possibly 
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while 
performing driving operations or 
a system malfunction occurs, a 
warning message or warning 
buzzer will be operated. If a 
warning message is displayed 
on the display, follow the 
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise, 
the volume of the audio system, 
etc. it may be difficult to hear the 
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it 
may be difficult to recognize the 
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system
In the following si tuations, make 
sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the 
system not operating properly, 
possibly leading to an accident 
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to 
being overloaded or having a 
flat tire
●When driving at extremely high 
speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train, 
etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a 
lift and the tires are allowed to 
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle 
using a drum tester such as a 
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an 
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When the vehicle is driven in a 
sporty manner or off-road
●When using an automatic car
