Q If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a master key (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), and the key number stamped on your key
number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the
vehicle.
Q When riding in an aircraft (type B and C)
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
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 pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 516)

tions, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control
and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P. 600)
O When the electronic key battery is depleted
O Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-

Q Note for the entry function
O Even if the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas)
when locking or unlocking the doors, the system may not operate properly if
the electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place.
O 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 recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the
doors will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
O 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 elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
O Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
O If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
O Pulling the outside door handle while pressing the lock/unlock button on the
outside door handle may prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this
case, return the door handle to the original position, press the lock/unlock
button again, and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle
again.
O Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within
the effective range.
Q When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
O To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m
(6 ft.) of the vehicle.
O The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. Ask any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for details.
Q 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 function may not
operate.)
