Electronic key battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted
even if the electronic key is not used.) If the smart entry & start system or
the wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection
area becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (P. 564)
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
engine stops. (P. 48)
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
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Glass top ranges
• Table lamps
To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-
tion.)

AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the
area, or lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door
handle.
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock
the door.
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the smart entry & start system. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may
prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door han-
dle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling
the door handle again.
When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms are used to prevent theft of the
vehicle and unforeseeable accidents resulting from erroneous operation.
Take appropriate measures according to the warning message shown on the
multi-information display. (P. 624)
