Using the mechanical key

To take out the mechanical key,

push 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 bat-

tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will

3

need the mechanical key. (→P. 622)

■Panic mode

When

is pressed for longer than

about one second, an alarm will sound

intermittently and the vehicle lights will

flash to deter any person from trying to

break into or damage your vehicle.

To stop the alarm, press any button on the

electronic key.

■ When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant

Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (→P. 450)

Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with

the electronic key only.

■ If you lose your keys

New genuine keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the mechanical

key 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.

ing the key to not function properly.

■ In case of a smart key system malfunction or other key-related prob-

lems

Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to

your Toyota dealer.

■ When an electronic key is lost

If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-

cantly. Visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic
