Battery-saving function

The battery-saving function will be

activated in order to prevent the

electronic key battery and the vehi-

cle battery from being discharged

while the vehicle is not operated 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

within approximately 11 ft. (3.5 m)

of the outside of the vehicle for 2

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,

control and engine immobilizer sys-

tem from operating properly.

●

• Hand warmers made of metal

• Media such as CDs and DVDs

●

When other wireless keys (that

emit radio waves) are being used

nearby

●

When carrying the electronic key

together with the following devices

that emit radio waves

• Portable radio, cellular phone,

cordless phone or other wireless

communication devices

• Another electronic key or a wire-

less key that emits radio waves

• Personal computers or personal

digital assistants (PDAs)

• Digital audio players

• Portable game systems

●

Bring the electronic key close to

either front door handle and oper-

ate the entry function.

●

Operate the wireless remote con-

P.341)

If the engine cannot be started using

the smart key system, refer to

P.342.

■

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 on the instru-

ment panel, luggage cover or

floor, or in the door pockets or

glove box when the engine is

started or engine 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 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 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 engine if the elec-

tronic 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 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 or unlock

sensor while wearing gloves may

prevent lock or unlock operation.

●

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ing

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.97)

●

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.374)

●

Setting the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode helps to reduce

key battery depletion. (



P.97)

■

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.96)

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.

Adjustment procedure

WARNING

■

When adjusting the seat posi-

tion

●

Take care when adjusting the

seat position to ensure that

other passengers 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 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.

●

After adjusting the seat, make

sure that the seat is locked in

position.
