3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Before driv

ing

●

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.109)

●

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.535)

●

Setting the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode helps to reduce 

key battery depletion. (



P.109)

■

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 vehi-

cle.

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.)

WARNING

■

Caution regarding interfer-

ence with electronic devices

●

People with implantable car-

diac pacemakers, cardiac 

resynchronization ther-

apy-pacemakers or implantable 

cardioverter defibrillators should 

keep away from the smart key 

system antennas. (



P.108)

The radio waves may affect the 

operation of such devices. If 

necessary, the entry function 

can be disabled. Ask your Toy-

ota dealer for details, such as 

the frequency of radio waves 

and timing of the emitted radio 

waves. Then, consult your doc-

tor to see if you should disable 

the entry function.

●

Users of any electrical medical 

device other than implantable 

cardiac pacemakers, cardiac 

resynchronization ther-

apy-pacemakers or implantable 

cardioverter defibrillators should 

consult the manufacturer of the 

device for information about its 

operation under the influence of 

radio waves.

Radio waves could have unex-

pected effects on the operation 

of such medical devices.

Ask your Toyota dealer for details 

on disabling the entry function.

WARNING

■

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 colli-

sion, 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 unexpectedly move and 

cause the driver to lose control 

of the vehicle.

●

Manual seat only: After adjust-

ing the seat, make sure that the 

seat is locked in position.

NOTICE

■

WARNING

■

When folding the rear seat-

backs down

●

Do not fold the seatbacks down 

while driving.

●

Stop the vehicle on level 

ground, set the parking brake 

and shift the shift lever to P 

(continuously variable transmis-

sion) or N (manual transmis-

sion).

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on a 

folded seatback or in the lug-

gage compartment while driv-

ing.

●

Do not allow children to enter 

the luggage compartment.

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on 

the rear center seat if the rear 

right seat is folded down, as the 

seat belt buckle for the rear cen-

ter seat belt is then concealed 

under the folded seat and can-

not be used.

●

Be careful not to get your hand 

caught when folding the rear 

seatbacks.

●

Adjust the position of the front 

seats before folding down the 

rear seatbacks so that the front 

seats do not interfere with the 

rear seatbacks when folding 

down the rear seatbacks.

■

After returning the rear seat-

back to the upright position

●

Make sure that the seatback is 

securely locked in position by 

lightly pushing it back and forth.

If the seatback is not securely 

locked, the red marking will be 

visible on the seatback lock 

release lever. Make sure that the 

red marking is not visible.

●

Check that the seat belts are 

not twisted or caught in the 

seatback.

If the seat belt gets caught 

between the seatback’s securing 

hook and latch, it may damage 

the seat belt.
