■

Cautions during setting up

the display

If the hybrid system is operating

while changing certain settings on

the settings 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 col-

lect 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 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 when

the hybrid 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.143)

●

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

and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or

cordless phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

If “A New Key has been Regis-

tered Contact Your Dealer for

Details” is shown on the

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 mag-

netic materials to the keys or

place the keys close to such

materials.

●

Do not disassemble the keys.

●

Do not attach a sticker or any-

thing else to the surface of the

electronic key.

●

Do not place the keys near

objects that produce magnetic

fields, such as TVs, audio sys-

tems and induction cookers.

●

Do not place the keys near

medical electrical equipment

such as low-frequency therapy

equipment or microwave ther-

apy equipment, and do not

receive medical attention with

the keys on your person.

■

Carrying the electronic key

on your person

Carry the electronic key 3.9 in.

(10 cm) or more away from elec-

tric appliances 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, causing the key to

not function properly.
