■ If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a master key (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), and the key number stamped on your key
number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the
vehicle.
■ When riding in an aircraft (type B and C)
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
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.

Vehicles without smart entry & start system
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 516)
Vehicles with smart entry & start system

■ If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or engine switch
mode, etc. is shown

taking the key out of the vehicle, etc., a message that prompts the user to
confirm the state of the electronic key or engine switch mode may be shown
on the multi-information display. In those cases, follow the instructions on the
display immediately.
■ If “Key battery low” is shown on the multi-information display

repairer for details.
