If “Hydrogen Leakage Detected 

Visit Your Dealer” is displayed 

on the multi-information display

A small amount of hydrogen gas 

may be leaking. Have the vehicle 

inspected immediately at the near-

est Toyota dealer.

■

If “FCV System Shutdown Due 

to Hydrogen Leakage Stop in a 

Safe Place See Owner’s Man-

ual” is displayed on the multi-

information display

●

Hydrogen gas may be leaking.

When hydrogen gas is leaking or 

some other malfunction is 

detected: 



P.84

●

The air conditioning system will 

shut off automatically.

■

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel 

and the fuel cell system cannot be 

started, refuel the vehicle until the 

low fuel level warning light (



P.449) 

turns off before trying to restart. It 

may not be able to restart if the refu-

eled amount is too low.

■

Fuel cell stack

●

Depending on the usage environ-

ment, the fuel cell power output 

may decline over the life of the 

vehicle. However, this will have 

almost no effect on driving perfor-

mance.

●

In the following situations, the fuel 

cell power output may decline 

faster than normal driving:

• Extended use in areas with high 

amounts of dust

• Extended use in areas with high 

levels of sulfur (such as volcanoes 

or hot springs).

• Extended use in areas with high 

concentrations of the following 

substances:

-Organic solvents, such as paint and 
thinner
-Amine-related materials such as 
ammonia
-Chlorinated substances such as 
salt air and snow-melting agent
• Salt water gets into the air cleaner 

filter

It is recommended to replace the 

air cleaner filter and clean the sur-

rounding components. Have the 

vehicle inspected at your Toyota 

dealer

• The number of times the fuel cell 

system is started and stopped is 

excessively high

• Extended use in freezing tem-

peratures

• Fill fuel with impurities which do 

not follow ISO-14687

■

Hydrogen tanks

●

The hydrogen tanks are the high-

pressure storage containers that 

are filled with compressed hydro-

gen gas. The vehicle can be refu-

eled at hydrogen stations.

●

The hydrogen tanks have an expi-

ration date. Vehicles with expired 

hydrogen tanks must not be 

driven or refueled until the hydro-

gen tanks are replaced. The expi-

ration date is written on the inside 

of the fuel door. Consult your Toy-

ota dealer.

●

Consult your Toyota dealer if the 

hydrogen tanks or valves need to 

be disposed.

■

Fuel cell stack coolant

●

Fuel cell stack coolant uses a spe-

cifically-designed fluid with high 

electrical insulation properties, in 

order to safely cool the high-volt-

age fuel cell stack.

●

Never add water or other coolants 

to the fuel cell stack cooling sys-

tem, as they will cause permanent 

damage.

●

Consult your Toyota dealer for 

replenishing or changing the fuel 

cell stack coolant.

■

Ion filter

●

An ion filter is installed in the cool-

ant lines for the fuel cell stack, in 

order to maintain the normal insu-

lation properties of the coolant.

●

It is necessary to periodically 

change the ion filter. (



P.456) 

Contact your Toyota dealer for this 

periodic maintenance.

■

Tailpipe

●

When the power switch is turned 

off and the fuel cell system is 

stopped (



P.174) after driving, 

exhaust water is discharged. Be 

careful when standing behind the 

vehicle to avoid dripping or spray-

ing.

●

It is possible to manually purge 

the exhaust. This may be desir-

able, for instance, before parking 

in a garage. This is done by press-

ing the H

2

O switch. (



P.190)

●

On cold days, water vapor in the 

exhaust may appear as a white 

mist emitted from the tailpipe. This 

is not a malfunction. A white mist 

may be emitted from the vehicle 

side depending on the wind direc-

tion. If it is a concern, consult with 

a Toyota dealer.

●

If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel 

cell system will stop.

●

In the following state when cold, a 

white mist may be emitted. Water 

vapor is being emitted as a sys-

tem protection and it is not a mal-

function.

• If several minutes have passed 

after opening the fuel lid, such as 

refueling.

• Several hours have passed after 

the power switch was turned off.

■

Hydrogen detectors

When the power switch is turned to 

ON, the hydrogen detectors are 

activated.

■

Power output restriction

When the power output is restricted, 

the vehicle may fail to accelerate or 

even decelerate, even though the 

accelerator pedal is depressed. If a 

safe driving speed cannot be main-

tained, stop the vehicle in a safe 

place away from the traffic. This 

may be caused by the following con-

ditions:

●

The coolant temperature may be 

too high. This can be caused by 

driving conditions such as 

repeated sudden acceleration and 

deceleration, continuous driving 

on an incline, continuous driving 

at high altitudes with a high load, 

etc. In such situations, “FCV sys-

tem overheated Output power 

reduced” is displayed on the multi-

information display, and the power 

output is restricted. Once the cool-

ant returns to normal temperature, 

the power output will return to nor-

mal. (



P.454)

●

The remaining fuel may be low. 

After the low fuel level warning 

light comes on, the output power 

will be gradually restricted in order 

to extend the possible driving dis-

tance. Once getting to this point, 

the remaining driving distance 

possible is short. Immediately refill 

the vehicle with hydrogen.

●

On cold days, the low fuel level 

warning light comes on faster than 

usual and the output power is 

restricted.

■

Electromagnetic waves (EMF)

●

High-voltage parts and cables in 

82

2-1. Fuel cell vehicle

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

fuel cell vehicles have an electro-

magnetic shielding configuration, 

and therefore emit approximately 

the same amount of electromag-

netic waves as conventional gaso-

line-powered vehicles or home 

electronic appliances.

●

Your vehicle may cause sound 

interference in some third party-

produced radio parts.

■

Starting the fuel cell system in 

an extremely cold environment

When the traction battery is 

extremely cold (below approxi-

mately -22˚F [-30˚C]) under the 

influence of outside temperature, it 

may not be possible to start the fuel 

cell system. In this case, try to start 

the fuel cell system again after the 

temperature of the traction battery 

increases due to the outside tem-

perature increase etc.

■

Traction battery

The traction battery has a limited 

service life. The lifespan of the trac-

tion battery can change according to 

driving style and driving conditions.

■

Hydrogen Gas Characteristics

●

Hydrogen gas ignites more easily than gasoline, however it is light than air 

and disperses quickly. The hydrogen system and tank sufficiently serve as 

a counter-measure to prevent gas leaks. However, if by chance there is a 

gas leak, the hydrogen gas is rapidly diluted until it is no longer flammable.

●

As with gasoline and natural gas, hydrogen gas is not dangerous if it is 

handled properly. Thoroughly read and understand the characteristics 

shown in the table below.

Basic concepts of hydrogen 

safety

●

Prevent leakage

The pipe joints of the hydrogen 
pipelines are designed to prevent 
leaks.
The joints are checked for gas leak-
age at every official vehicle inspec-
tion.

●

Detect to stop leakage

• The vehicle is equipped with 

hydrogen detectors. If the hydro-

gen detectors detect a leak, the 

hydrogen tank valves automati-

cally close to prevent more hydro-

gen from escaping.

• The vehicle is equipped with a col-

lision sensor. If the collision sen-

sor detects a collision, the 

hydrogen tank valves automati-

cally close to prevent hydrogen 

gas from leaking from any dam-

aged components.

●

Disperse the leaked hydrogen gas

The hydrogen tanks and pipelines 
are located outside of the passenger 
compartment, so any leaked gas will 
disperse into the atmosphere by 
design.

●

Eliminate sources of fire

No source of fire is located near the 
hydrogen pipelines by design.

WARNING

■

Hydrogen-related compo-

nents

●

Never alter, customize, or disas-

semble any hydrogen-related 

parts.

84

2-1. Fuel cell vehicle

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

WARNING

●

The hydrogen tanks, fuel cell 

stack, hydrogen pipelines, and 

connecting components are 

filled with hydrogen gas. Do not 

remove or disassemble these 

parts. Doing so can cause a 

hydrogen gas leak, resulting in 

fire or explosion of the vehicle, 

which may result in death or 

serious injury.

■

When hydrogen gas leak or 

other malfunction is detected

●

If a large amount of hydrogen 

gas leaking is noticed, turn off 

the power switch, exit the vehi-

cle, and stay far away from it. 

Display warning signs and keep 

sources of fire away from the 

vehicle. If possible, get assis-

tance. When the above is done, 

immediately contact your Toyota 

dealer.

●

If you notice gas leaking or any 

other malfunction, immediately 

stop the vehicle in a safe and 

well-ventilated place, exit the 

vehicle, and stay far away from 

it.

●

If a warning message is dis-

played in the multi-information 

display, immediately stop the 

vehicle in a safe, well-ventilated 

outdoor place.

■

Tailpipe

●

Do not directly touch the water 

or steam coming out of the tail-

pipe. Doing so may cause low-

temperature burns.

●

The fuel cell vehicle generates 

water during power generation. 

The generated water dis-

charged from the tailpipe is not 

suitable for drinking. Never 

drink the water coming out of 

the tailpipe.

●

You may notice a strange odor 

from the tailpipe for a while after 

the purchase of a new vehicle 

or after an extended period of 

non-use, but this is not a mal-

function. Also, the odor is harm-

less but it may be unpleasant, 

so do not breathe in the 

exhaust.

■

High-voltage and high-tem-

perature precautions

This vehicle is equipped with a 

high-voltage system. Follow the 

instructions below as high-volt-

ages can cause severe burns and 

electric shock that may result in 

death or serious injury.

●

Never touch, disassemble, 

remove, or replace the high-

voltage parts, cables (orange), 

or connectors.

●

The components inside the fuel 

cell unit compartment will 

become hot during operation. 

Be careful of both the high-volt-

age and high-temperature, and 

always obey the warning labels 

on the vehicle.

●

Never touch the service plug 

that is installed on the traction 

battery. The service plug is used 

to block high-voltages coming 

from the traction battery during 

maintenance or repair at your 

Toyota dealer.

WARNING

■

Precautions in case of an 

accident

In the event of an accident, 

observe the following precautions. 

Failure to do so can cause fire or 

electric shocks, resulting in death 

or serious injury.

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place 

to prevent subsequent acci-

dents. Shift the shift position to 

P and apply the parking brake.

●

Check for hydrogen gas leak-

age.

Hydrogen leaks will cause a 

warning message to be shown 

on the multi-information dis-

play. Larger leaks may also be 

audible.

●

If a large amount of hydrogen 

gas leaking is noticed, turn off 

the power switch, exit the vehi-

cle, and stay far away from it. 

Display warning signs and keep 

sources of fire away from the 

vehicle. If possible, get assis-

tance. When the above is done, 

immediately contact your Toyota 

dealer.

●

Do not touch the high-voltage 

parts, cables (orange), or con-

nectors.

●

If electric wires are exposed 

inside or outside your vehicle, 

an electric shock may occur. 

Never touch exposed electric 

wires.

●

If a fluid leak occurs, do not 

touch the fluid as it may be the 

carbonate ester-based organic 

electrolyte from the traction bat-

tery. If it comes into contact with 

your skin or eyes, wash it off 

immediately with a large 

amount of water, and seek 

immediate medical attention.

●

In case of a vehicle fire, the 

hydrogen gas in the hydrogen 

tanks is released angled down-

ward on both the right side of 

the vehicle as well as the rear of 

the vehicle, in order to reduce 

damage to the hydrogen tanks. 

Keep away from the vehicle and 

do not stand on either the right 

side or the rear of the vehicle.

●

If a vehicle fire occurs, it can be 

extinguished with a Class A, B, 

or C fire extinguisher. If using 

water, apply a large amount 

from a hydrant.

●

If your vehicle needs to be 

towed, do so with the rear 

wheels lifted. If the wheels are 

touching the ground, the electric 

motor (traction motor) may con-

tinue to generate electricity. 

This may cause a fire.

■

Traction battery

●

Never resell, transfer, or modify 

the traction battery. To prevent 

accidents, traction batteries that 

have been removed from dis-

posed vehicle are collected 

through Toyota dealers. Do not 

dispose of the traction battery 

yourself.

If the traction battery is not 

properly collected, the following 

may occur, resulting in death or 

serious injury:

• The traction battery may be ille-

gally disposed or dumped, and 

it is hazardous to the environ-

ment. Additionally, someone 

may touch a high-voltage part, 

resulting in an electric shock.

86

2-1. Fuel cell vehicle

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

When a certain level of impact 
from an accident is detected, the 
fuel cell system is shut down 
and the system shuts out the 
high voltage.
Also, the fuel supply is stopped 
from the hydrogen tank valves. 
If the emergency shut off system 
activates, your vehicle will not 
restart. To restart the fuel cell 
system, contact your Toyota 
dealer.

A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction 
occurs in the fuel cell system or 
an improper operation is 
attempted. (



P.453)

If a warning message is shown 
on the multi-information display, 
read the message and follow the 
instructions.

WARNING

• The traction battery is intended 

to be used exclusively with your 

fuel cell vehicle. If the traction 

battery is used outside of your 

vehicle or modified in any way, 

accidents, such as electric 

shock, heat generation, smoke 

generation, ignition, explosion 

and electrolyte leakage may 

occur.

In particular, reselling or transfer-

ring the traction battery exposes 

the receiving party to risks of acci-

dents as they may not be aware 

of these dangers. Make sure to 

inform them of the contents of this 

Owner’s Manual.

●

If your vehicle is disposed with-

out the traction battery having 

been removed, there is a dan-

ger of serious electric shock in 

case high-voltage parts, cables, 

or their connectors are touched. 

(



P.79) 

When disposing of your vehicle, 

the traction battery must be dis-

posed by your Toyota dealer, or 

a qualified service shop. If the 

traction battery is not disposed 

of properly, it may cause electric 

shock that can result in death or 

serious injury.

Traction battery air intake 

vents

●

Make sure not to block the air 

intake vents with anything, such 

as a seat cover, plastic cover, or 

luggage. If the vents become 

blocked, the traction battery 

input and output may be 

restricted, leading to a reduction 

in traction battery output and a 

malfunction.

●

When dust, etc., has accumu-

lated in the air intake vents, 

periodically clean they with a 

vacuum cleaner to prevent the 

vent from clogging.

●

A filter is installed to the air 

intake vent. When the filter 

remains noticeably dirty even 

after cleaning the air intake 

vent, filter cleaning or replace-

ment is recommended. When 

cleaning or replacing the filter, 

contact your Toyota dealer.

Refer to P.422 for details on 

how to clean the filters.

●

Do not get water or foreign 

materials in the air intake vents 

as this may cause a short circuit 

and damage the traction bat-

tery.

2-1. Fuel cell vehicle

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

Maintaining the fuel cell system 
indicator to Eco area on the 
multi-information display can 
extend your driving range. 
(



P.102)

Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and 
deceleration.
Mild acceleration and decelera-
tion can help curb wasteful fuel 
consumption.

If the brakes are operated gently 
and in a timely manner, a 
greater amount of electrical 
energy can be regenerated 
when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and 
deceleration, as well as long 
waits at traffic lights, will lead to 

decreased fuel economy. Check 
traffic reports before leaving and 
avoid delays as much as possi-
ble. When driving in a con-
gested traffic situations, gently 
release the brake pedal to allow 
the vehicle to move forward 
slightly while avoiding overuse 
of the accelerator pedal. Doing 
so can help control excessive 
fuel consumption.

Similar to an electric vehicle, a 
fuel cell vehicle uses the most 
fuel in high output driving such 
as driving on a steep uphill or at 
high speeds. Moderate the vehi-
cle speed and maintain a steady 
speed.

When using Eco drive mode, the 
torque corresponding to the 
accelerator pedal depression 
amount can be generated more 
smoothly than it is in normal 
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be 
minimized, improving the fuel 
economy. (

temperature is high, use the 
recirculated air mode. Doing 
so will help to reduce the bur-
den on the air conditioning 
system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excess heat-
ing. Use the seat heater (if 
equipped) or steering heater 
(if equipped) to minimize the 
need for cabin heating 
(



P.344).



Using eco air conditioning 
mode, this helps curb fuel 
consumption even with the air 
conditioning system turned 
on. (



P.328, 336)

Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently. 
Improper tire inflation pressure 
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause 
large amounts of friction, their 
use on dry roads can lead to 
poor fuel economy. Use tires 
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead 
to reduced fuel economy. Install-
ing a large roof rack will also 

reduce fuel economy.

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 

fuel cell 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.131)

●

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.

• 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

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.

126

4-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

WARNING

●

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.

●

When closing the trunk lid, 

make sure to press it lightly on 

its outer surface. If the trunk 

handle is used to fully close the 

trunk lid, it may result in hands 

or arms being caught.

●

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.

■

Trunk easy closer (if 

equipped)

In the event that the trunk lid is left 

slightly open, the trunk easy 

closer will automatically close it to 

the fully closed position. It takes 

several seconds before the trunk 

easy closer begins to operate. Be 

careful not to get fingers caught or 

anything else in the trunk lid, as 

this may cause bone fractures or 

other serious injuries.

The battery-saving function will be 

activated in order to prevent the 

electronic key battery and the 12-

volt battery from being discharged 

while the vehicle is not in operation 

for a long time.

●

In the following situations, the 

smart key system may take some 

time to unlock the doors.

• The electronic key has been left in 

an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 

m) of the outside of the vehicle for 

10 minutes or longer.

• The smart key system has not 

been used for 5 days or longer.

●

If the smart key system has not 

been used for 14 days or longer, 

the doors cannot be unlocked at 

any doors except the driver’s door. 

In this case, take hold of the 

driver’s door handle, or use the 

wireless remote control or the 

mechanical key, to unlock the 

doors.

■

used. To cancel the function, press 
any of the electronic key buttons.

●

Electronic keys that will not be 

used for long periods of time can 

be set to the battery-saving mode 

in advance.

■

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. (Ways of coping:

■

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 fuel cell sys-

tem 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 doors 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 fuel cell system if 

the electronic key is near the win-

dow.

●

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 sensor 

while wearing gloves may delay or 

prevent lock 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 this 

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 battery-

saving mode to disable the smart 

key system. (



P.131)

●

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 approach to the effec-

tive range or door handle may pre-

vent the doors from being 

unlocked. In this case, return the 

door handle to the original 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.

■

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.

●

Setting the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode helps to reduce 

key battery depletion. (



P.131)

■

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.
