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 displayed on the

multi-information display when the

hybrid system stops.

●

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.166)

●

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.

You can replace the battery by your-
self (

P.444). However, as there is

a danger that the electronic key may
be damaged, it is recommended
that replacement is carried out by
your Toyota dealer.

●

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

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

●

If the electronic key is near the

vehicle for longer than necessary,

even if the smart key system is not

used, the key battery may become

depleted faster than normal.

When not using the smart key sys-

tem, it is recommended to not stay

with the electronic key near the

vehicle longer than necessary.
