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.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash
them in an ultrasonic washer,
etc.
●Do not attach m etallic or mag-
netic materials to the keys or
place the keys close to such
materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a s ticker or any-
thing else to the surface of the
electronic key.
●Do not place the keys near
objects that produce magnetic
fields, such as TVs, audio sys-
tems and induction cookers.
●Do not place the keys near
medical electrical equipment
such as low-frequency therapy
equipment or microwave ther-
apy equipment, and do not
receive medical attention with
the keys on your person.
■Carrying the electronic key
on your person
Carry the electronic key 3.9 in.
(10 cm) or more away from elec-
tric appliances that are turned on.
Radio waves emitte d from electric
appliances within 3.9 in. (10 cm)
of the electronic key may interfere
with the key, cau sing the key to
not function properly.
■In case of a smart key system
malfunction or other key-
related problems

1563-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
driver’s door handle, or use the
wireless remote control or the
mechanical key, to unlock the
doors.
■Turning an electronic key to
battery-saving mode
●When battery-saving mode is set,
battery depletion is minimized by
stopping the electronic key from
receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing
and holding .
Confirm that the electronic key indi-
cator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is
set, the smart key system cannot be
used. To cancel the function, press

used for long periods of time can
be set to the battery-saving mode
in advance.
■When electronic key function
stops
If the position of the electronic key
has not changed for a certain
amount of time such as when the
electronic key is left somewhere, the
function of the electronic key stops
to reduce depletio n of the battery.
In this case, function can automati-
cally be restored by moving the
position of the key such as by lifting
it up.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between the electronic key
and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the
smart key system, wireless remote
control and immobilizer system from
operating properly.
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power
plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed inside t he left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
function correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding
area on the rear bumper is dirty
or covered with snow, the Blind
Spot Monitor may not operate
and a warning message
(  P.279) will be displayed. In
this situation, clear off the dirt or
snow and drive the vehicle with
the operation conditions of the
BSM function ( P.281) satis-
fied for approximately 10 min-
utes. If the warning message
does not disappear, have the
vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.

2904-5. Using the driving support systems
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
●It may be difficult to hear the
sound of this system due to the
buzzers of other systems.
■Objects which the system may
not properly detect
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attention to the fol-
lowing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen-
sor. (Cleaning the sensors will
resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnor-
mally, or objects, such as a wall,
may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of ot her vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpen-
dicular to the ground, not perpen-
dicular to the vehicle traveling
direction, uneven, or waving are in
the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing.
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
●When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle
and a detected object.
●If an object such as a vehicle,
motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
cuts in front of the vehicle or runs
out from the side of the vehicle.
●If the orientation of a sensor has
been changed due to a collision or
other impact.
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle c arrier, or snow
plow.
