■When riding in an aircraft (with 
a wireless remote control func-
tion)
When bringing a ke y with wireless 
remote control func tion onto an air-
craft, make sure you do not press 
any buttons on the key while inside 
the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying 
the key in your bag, etc., ensure that 
the buttons are not likely to be 
pressed accidentally. Pressing a 
button may cause the key to emit 
radio waves that could interfere with 
the operation of the aircraft.
■Key battery depletion (with a 
wireless remote control func-
tion)
Vehicles without a smart key sys-
tem
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 
years.
●The battery will be come depleted

Before driving
• The wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes 
smaller.
Vehicles with a smart key system
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an 
alarm will sound in the cabin and a 
message will be shown on the 
multi-information  display when the 
engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion 
when the electronic key is to not 
be used for long periods of time, 
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. ( P.121)
●As the electronic key always 
receives radio waves, the battery 
will become depleted even if the 
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the 
electronic key battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary. ( P.333)
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote control does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes  smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur-
face does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances t hat produce a 
magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones  and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or 
cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the 
vehicle for longer than necessary, 
even if the smart key system is not 
operated, the key battery may 
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.
■Replacing the battery (with a 
wireless remote control func-
tion)
 P.333
■The electronic key function is 
suspended when (vehicles with 
a smart key system)
The electronic key  function may be 
suspended when the electronic key 
is kept unmoved in a same location 
for a certain period, such as it is left 
on a same place. This is to reduce 
battery consumption. The function 
will be restored automatically when 
the electronic key is moved, such as 
it is picked up.
■If “A New Key has been Regis-
tered Contact Your Dealer for 
Details” is shown on the 
multi-information display (vehi-
cles with a smart key system)
This message will be displayed 
each time the driver’s door is 
opened when the doors are 
unlocked from the outside for 
approximately 10 days after a new 
electronic key has been registered.
If this message is displayed but you 
have not had a new  electronic key 
registered, ask your Toyota dealer to 
check if an unknown electronic key 
(other than those in your posses-
sion) has been registered.
■If a wrong key is used (with a 
wireless remote control func-
tion)
The key cylinder rotates freely, iso-
lated from the internal mechanism.
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.

■Rear seat reminder function
In order to remind you not to forget 
luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when 
the engine switch is turned off after 
any of the following conditions are 
met, a buzzer will  sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the 
multi-information di splay for approx-
imately 6 seconds.
●The engine is started within 
approximately 10 minutes after 
opening and closing a rear door.
●A rear door has been opened and 
closed after the engine was 
started.
However, if a rear door is opened 
and then closed  within approxi-
mately 2 seconds , the rear seat 
reminder function may not operate.
The rear seat rem inder function 
determines that luggage, etc. has 
been placed in a rear seat based on 
opening and closing of a rear door. 
Therefore, depending on the situa-
tion, the rear seat  reminder function 
may not operate and you may still 
forget luggage, etc. in the rear seat,
