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.133)

●

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.446). 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
operated, the key battery may
become depleted faster than nor-
mal. When not operating the
smart key system, it is recom-
mended to not stay with the elec-
tronic key near the vehicle longer
than necessary.

key (other than those in your pos-

session) has been registered.

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.

inder, 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 battery is depleted or the entry

function does not operate properly,

you will need the mechanical key.
