■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carry-ing an electronic key in your bag etc.,
ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a but-ton may cause the electronic key to emit
radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●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 displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display when the hybrid system
stops.
●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 battery-saving mode.
( P.254)
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the battery will become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary.
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper-ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself
( P.511). However, as there is a dan-
ger that the electronic key may be dam-
aged, it is recommended that
replacement is carried out by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the following electrical appli- ances that produce a magnetic field:•TVs
• Personal computers • Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
•Table lamps • Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle for longer than necessary, even if the smart entry & start system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become depleted faster than normal.
■If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or power switch
mode, etc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle, leaving the vehicle
carrying the electronic key on your per- son without turning the power switch to
