To take out the mechanical key,
slide the release lever and take
the key out.

The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one side.
If the key cannot be inserted in a
lock cylinder, turn it over and re-
attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-
tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will
need the mechanical key. (

If you lose your mechanical keys

New genuine mechanical keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using another mechani-
cal key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the
plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press
any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are
carrying an electronic 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 interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

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.

●

As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (



P. 632)

• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not

operate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself (



P. 632). However, as there is a

danger that the electronic key may be damaged, it is recommended that
replacement is carried out by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m
(3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers

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 magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.

●

Do not disassemble the keys.

●

Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.

●

Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as
TVs, audio systems and induction cookers.

●

receive medical attention with the keys on your person.

■

Carrying the electronic key on your person

Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appli-
ances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances
within 10 cm (3.9 in.) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
ing the key to not function properly.

■

In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related
problems

Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

■
