Operation of each component
CAMRY_U■
Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to preve nt the electronic
key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is
not in operation for a long time.
● In  the  following  situations,  the  smart  key  system  may  take  some  time to
unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6  ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart key system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
● If the smart key system has not been used for 14 days or longer , the doors
cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In th is case, take
hold  of  the  driver’s  door  handle,  or  use  the  wireless  remote  co ntrol  or  the
mechanical key, to unlock the doors.
■ Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized  by stopping
the electronic key from receiving radio waves.
■ Conditions affecting operation
The  smart  key  system,  wireless  remote  control  and  engine  immobi lizer  sys-
tem  use  weak  radio  waves.  In  the  following  situations,  the  communication
between  the  electronic  key  and  the  vehicle  may  be  affected,  pre venting  the
smart  key  system,  wireless  remote  control  and  engine  immobilizer  system
from operating properly. (Ways of coping:  P. 559)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  stati on,  large  dis-
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  wav es  or  electrical
noise
● 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
Press    twice  while  pressing  and
holding  . Confirm that the electronic
key indicator flashes 4 times.
