If a safety system warning light does not come on 

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning lights not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When  operating  the  multi-information  display  while  driving,  pay  extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you  may  fail  to  see  pedestrians,  objects  on  the  road,  etc.  ahead  of  the
vehicle.

■

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  possibly  an
accident resulting in death or injury.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may  collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  serious
health hazard.

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press
any button on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are car-
rying an electronic 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 interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

Key battery depletion

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
stops.

●

As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate  that  the  electronic  key  battery  may  be  depleted.  Replace  the  battery
when necessary. (



P. 415)

• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

●

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. 137)

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1
m) of the following electrical 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

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.

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 metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.

●

Do not disassemble the keys.

●

Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.

●

Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as
TVs,  audio  systems  and  induction  cookers,  or  medical  electrical  equip-
ment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.

■

Carrying the electronic key on your person

Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appli-
ances  that  are  turned  on.  Radio  waves  emitted  from  electric  appliances
within 3.9 in. (10 cm) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
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
keys that were provided with your vehicle.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
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 unexpectedly 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, suffocation 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 colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

WARNING

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous 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.

●

On an incline it is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid 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.

●

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened. 

●

When  opening  the  trunk  lid,  take  care
so that it does not hit anyone in the face
or any other part of the body.

●

When  closing  the  trunk  lid,  take  extra
care  to  prevent  your  fingers  etc.  from
being caught.

●

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 recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside 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 elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine 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  effective  range.  (The  doors  will  automatically  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 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. 137)

●

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.

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. (

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.)

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.

NOTICE

■

When adjusting a front seat

When  adjusting  a  front  seat,  make  sure  that  the  head  restraint  does  not
contact the headliner. Otherwise, the head restraint and headliner may be
damaged.
