1203-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio,
cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which al uminum foil is
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi- num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that
emit radio waves) are being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio
waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic con-
tent or metallic objects are
attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a
pay parking spot where radio
waves are emitted
If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the smart key
system, lock/unlock the doors by
performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to
either front door handle and oper-
ate the entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote con-
trol.
If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the above methods, use the mechanical key.
(
 P.418)
If the engine cannot be started using
the smart key system, refer to
P.418.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, luggage compartment
or floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the engine is
started or engine switch modes
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the engine if the elec-
tronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on
the door handle, such as in the
rain or in a car wash when the
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the
doors are not opened and closed.)

flooded road and the vehicle
becomes flooded or stuck in mud
or sand, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and
quality of the engine oil, tran-
saxle fluid, transfer oil (AWD
models), rear dif ferential oil
(AWD models), etc.
●Lubricant condition for the pro-
peller shaft (AWD models),
bearings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the func-
tion of all joints, bearings, etc.

1684-2. Driving procedures

Driving
The LDA system warns the
driver if the vehicle may deviate
from the current lane or course
*,
and also can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*.
The front camera is used to
detect lane lines or a course
*.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on a display,
and either a warning buzzer will
sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
Check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane or course
*.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane, the lane de parture alert will
operate even if the turn signals are
operating.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as a curb,
guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure prevention
function
If the system determines that
the vehicle is likely to depart
from its lane or course
*, it pro-
vides assistance through steer-
ing wheel operations to help
avoid deviation from the lane or
course.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, a warning message
may be displayed and a warning
buzzer may sound to alert the
driver.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicl e in an adjacent
lane, the lane departure prevention
function will operate even if the turn

WARNING
■Before using the LDA system
●Do not overly re ly on the LDA
system. The LDA system is a
system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving.
However, as it is not a system
which reduces the amount of
attention necessary for safe
driving. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and oper-
ating the steering wheel as nec-
essary to ensure safety. Also,
the driver is responsible for tak-
ing adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as when driving
for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
