●

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 sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

●

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals  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 effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 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  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  smart  key

system. (

P. 159)

●

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 dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. 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 approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock 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.

●

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

*

: This setting can be customized at your Toyota dealer.

■

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. 567)

●

Setting the electronic key to battery-saving mode helps to reduce key bat-
tery depletion. (

P. 159)

■

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 operating the system from the
outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The
alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may not
operate.)

■

If the smart key system does not operate properly

●

Locking and unlocking the doors and trunk: Use the mechanical key.

WARNING

■

Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

●

People  with  implantable  cardiac  pacemakers,  cardiac  resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system antennas. (

P. 157)

The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as  the  frequency  of  radio  waves  and  timing  of  the  emitted  radio  waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.

●

Users  of  any  electrical  medical  device  other  than  implantable  cardiac
pacemakers,  cardiac  resynchronization  therapy-pacemakers  or  implant-
able  cardioverter  defibrillators  should  consult  the  manufacturer  of  the
device  for  information  about  its  operation  under  the  influence  of  radio
waves.
Radio  waves  could  have  unexpected  effects  on  the  operation  of  such
medical devices.

Ask your Toyota dealer for details for disabling the entry function.

WARNING

■

When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.

●

Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

●

Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.

■

Seat adjustment

●

Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

●

To  reduce  the risk  of sliding  under  the lap  belt during a  collision,  do  not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint  forces  directly  to  the  abdomen,  or  your  neck  may  contact  the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Manual  seat  only:  After  adjusting  the  seat,  make  sure  that  the  seat  is
locked in position.
