The engine immobilizer system is a
theft prevention system. The transpond-
er chip in the key transmits an elec-
tronic code to the vehicle. The hybrid
system will start only when the elec-
tronic code in the chip corresponds to
the registered ID code for the vehicle.
The engine immobilizer system is automat-
ically set when the “POWER” switch is
turned off.
The indicator light will start flashing to
show that the system is set.
If any of the following indicator conditions
occur, contact your Toyota dealer.
The indicator light remains on.
The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the “POWER” switch is
turned off.
The indicator light flashes inconsistent-
ly.The engine immobilizer system is automat-
ically canceled when you enter the vehicle
carrying an electronic key and press the
“POWER” switch.
Even if the key battery is discharged, the
hybrid system can be turned on. See
“Smart key system” on page 32 in this
Section.
When the system is canceled, the indica-
tor light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built
−in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and electronic key. However, there is a
limit to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.

TIPS FOR USING SMART KEY SYSTEM
When using the smart key system, it is
possible to start or stop the hybrid system
as long as the key is on your person.

senger may remove the key from the ve-
hicle without the driver being aware of the
fact. In such a case, it is not possible to
restart the hybrid system after having
turned it off. In addition, it is possible that
one may get out of the vehicle without
being aware that the “POWER” switch has
not been turned off completely.
When driving or getting in or out of the
vehicle, drivers should make sure that
they are carrying the key.
CAUTION
Do not touch the “POWER” switch
while driving.
If you have to make an emergency stop,
press and hold the “POWER” switch for
more than 3 seconds.
