WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an 
accident that could result in death 
or serious injury.
Defensive drivin g: Always drive 
defensively. Anticipate mistakes 
that other drivers or pedestrians 
might make and be ready to avoid 
accidents.
Driver distracti on: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, such 
as adjusting controls, talking on a 
cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting 
death or serious injury to you, 
your occupant s or others.
■General precaution regarding 
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended 
in the vehicle, and never allow 
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the 
vehicle or shift the vehicle into 
neutral. There is also a danger 
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof, or other 
features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely 
cold temperatures inside the vehi-
cle can be fatal to children.

a wireless remote control func-
tion)
When bringing a ke y with wireless 
remote control func tion onto an air-
craft, make sure you do not press 
any buttons on the key while inside 
the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying 
the key in your bag, etc., ensure that 
the buttons are not likely to be

radio waves that could interfere with 
the operation of the aircraft.

• The wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes 
smaller.
Vehicles with a smart key system
●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 shown on the 
multi-information  display when the 
engine 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.121)
●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. ( P.333)
• 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 t hat 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 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.
■Replacing the battery (with a 
wireless remote control func-
tion)
 P.333
■The electronic key function is 
suspended when (vehicles with 
a smart key system)
The electronic key  function may be 
suspended when the electronic key 
is kept unmoved in a same location 
for a certain period, such as it is left 
on a same place. This is to reduce 
battery consumption. The function 
will be restored automatically when 
the electronic key is moved, such as 
it is picked up.
■If “A New Key has been Regis-
tered Contact Your Dealer for 
Details” is shown on the 
multi-information display (vehi-
cles with a smart key system)
This message will be displayed 
each time the driver’s door is 
opened when the doors are 
unlocked from the outside for 
approximately 10 days after a new 
electronic key has been registered.
If this message is displayed but you 
have not had a new  electronic key 
registered, ask your Toyota dealer to 
check if an unknown electronic key 
(other than those in your posses-
sion) has been registered.
■If a wrong key is used (with a 
wireless remote control func-
tion)
The key cylinder rotates freely, iso-
lated from the internal mechanism.
