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
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other  wirele ss commu-
nication devices
• Another vehicle’s electronic key, another electronic key of yo ur vehicle, or
a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
rear window
● When  the  electronic  key  is  placed  near  a  battery  charger  or  ele ctronic
devices
● When  the  vehicle  is  parked  in  a  pay  parking  spot  where  radio  wa ves  are
emitted.
■ Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (det ection 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 unl ocked.
• The  electronic  key  is  near  the  ground  or  in  a  high  place,  or  t oo  close  to
the rear bumper center when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tr ay or floor,
or in the door pockets or glove box when 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 w ave 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 electronic
key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, th e doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting  the elec-
tronic 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  splashe s  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  lo cked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)

The  radio  waves  may  affect  the  operation  of  such  devices.  If  ne cessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as  the  frequency  of  radio  waves  and  timing  of  the  emitted  radio  waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.
● Users  of  any  electrical  medical  device  other  than  implantable  c ardiac
pacemakers,  cardiac  resynchronization  therapy-pacemakers  or  imp lant-
able  cardioverter  defibrillators  should  consult  the  manufacture r  of  the
device  for  information  about  its  operation  under  the  influence  of  radio
