When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key 

onto an aircraft, make sure you do 

not press any buttons on the elec-

tronic key while inside the aircraft 

cabin. If you are carrying an elec-

tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure 

that the buttons are not likely to be 

pressed accidentally. Pressing a 

button may cause the electronic key 

to emit radio waves that could inter-

fere with the operation of the air-

craft. 

■

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 shown on the 

multi-information display when the 

hybrid system 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.113)

●

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.431)

• 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 that 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.

If “A New Key has been Regis-

tered Contact Your Dealer for 

Details” is shown on the 

multi-information display

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.

3-1. Key information

To take out the mechanical key, 
slide the release button and take 
the key out.
The mechanical key can only be 
inserted in one direction, as the 
key only has grooves on one 
side. If the key cannot be 
inserted in a lock cylinder, turn it 
over and re-attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, 
store it in the electronic key. 
Carry the mechanical key 
together with the electronic key. 
If the electronic key battery is 
depleted or the entry function 
does not operate properly, you 
will need the mechanical key.

To prevent an accident

Observe the following precautions 

while driving the vehicle.

Failure to do so may result in a 

door opening and an occupant 

being thrown out of the vehicle, 

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that all doors are prop-

erly closed and locked.

●

Do not pull the inside door han-

dle while driving.

buttons are in the locked posi-

tion.

●

Set the rear door child-protector 

locks when children are seated 

in the rear seats. 

■

When opening or closing a 

door

Check the surroundings of the 

vehicle such as whether the vehi-

cle is on an incline, whether there 

is enough space for a door to 

open and whether a strong wind 

is blowing. When opening or clos-

ing the door, hold the door handle 

tightly to prepare for any unpre-

dictable movement.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is 

fully closed. If the trunk lid is not 

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving and hit 

near-by objects or luggage in 

the trunk may be thrown out, 

causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in 

the trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked 

in the trunk, they could suffer 

from heat exhaustion, suffoca-

tion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or 

close the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk 

lid to open unexpectedly, or 

cause the child’s hands, head, 

or neck to be caught by the 

closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. 

In the event of sudden braking or 

a collision, they are susceptible to 

death or serious injury.

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts 

of the body to be caught, resulting 

in serious injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such 

as snow and ice, from the trunk 

lid before opening it. Failure to 

do so may cause the trunk lid to 

suddenly shut again after it is 

opened.

●

When opening or closing the 

trunk lid, thoroughly check to 

make sure the surrounding area 

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make 

sure they are safe and let them 

know that the trunk is about to 

open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or 

closing the trunk lid in windy 

weather as it may move 

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The trunk lid may suddenly shut 

if it is not opened fully. It is more 

difficult to open or close the 

trunk lid on an incline than on a 

level surface, so beware of the 

trunk lid unexpectedly opening 

or closing by itself. Make sure 

that the trunk lid is fully open 

and secure before using the 

trunk.

●

When closing the trunk lid, take 

extra care to prevent your fin-

gers etc. from being caught.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is 

within the effective range (detec-

tion areas), the system may not 

operate properly in the following 

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to 

the window or outside door han-

dle, near the ground, or in a high 

place when the doors are locked 

or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the 

ground or in a high place, or too 

close to the center of the rear 

bumper when the trunk is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, rear package tray or 

floor, or in the door pockets or 

glove box when the hybrid system 

is started or power 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 

wave reception conditions, it may 

be detected by the antenna out-

side 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, the 

doors may be locked or unlocked 

by anyone. However, only the 

doors detecting the electronic key 

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not 

inside the vehicle, it may be possi-

ble to start the hybrid system if the 

electronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock or lock if a 

large amount of water splashes on 

the door handle, such as in the 

rain or in a car wash when the 

electronic key is within the effec-

tive range. (The doors will auto-

matically be locked after 

approximately 60 seconds if the 

doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is 

used to lock the doors when the 

electronic key is near the vehicle, 

there is a possibility that the door 

may not be unlocked by the entry 

function. (Use the wireless remote 

control to unlock the doors.)

●

Touching the door lock or unlock 

sensor while wearing gloves may 

prevent lock or unlock operation.

●

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ognition signals will be shown up 

to two consecutive times. After 

this, no recognition signals will be 

given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet 

while the electronic key is within 

the effective range, the door may 

lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 

case, follow the following correc-

tion procedures to wash the vehi-

cle:

• Place the electronic key in a loca-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 

the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 

that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the 

smart key system. (P.113)

●

If the electronic key is inside the 

vehicle and a door handle 

becomes wet during a car wash, a 

message may be shown on the 

multi-information display and a 

buzzer will sound outside the vehi-

cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all 

the doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work 

properly if it comes into contact 

with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 

the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again.

●

A sudden handle operation or a 

handle operation immediately 

after entering the effective range 

may prevent the doors from being 

unlocked. Touch the door unlock 

sensor and check that the doors 

are unlocked before pulling the 

door handle again.

●

If there is another electronic key in 

the detection area, it may take 

slightly longer to unlock the doors 

after the door handle is gripped.

■

When the vehicle is not driven 

for extended periods

●

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do 

not leave the electronic key within 

6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.

●

The smart key system can be 

deactivated in advance. (P.516)

●

Setting the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode helps to reduce 

key battery depletion. (P.113)

■

To operate the system properly

●

Make sure to carry the electronic 

key when operating the system. 

Do not get the electronic key too 

close to the vehicle when operat-

ing the system from the outside of 

the vehicle.

Depending on the position and hold-

ing condition of the electronic key, 

the key may not be detected cor-

rectly and the system may not oper-

ate properly. (The alarm may go off 

accidentally, or the door lock pre-

vention function may not operate.)

●

Do not leave the electronic key 

inside the trunk.

The key confinement prevention 

function may not operate, depend-

ing on the location of the key (the 

inside edge of the trunk), condi-

tions (inside a metal bag, close to 

metallic objects) and the radio 

waves in the surrounding area.
