WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ Caution while driving

● Do not get on the rear step bumper.
■ When opening or closing the tailgate
● Check the safety of the surrounding area, and be careful not to catch fin-
gers etc. in the tailgate.

child’s hand, head, arm or neck to be caught in the tailgate, resulting in
death or serious injury.
● On an incline, it may be more difficult to open or close the tailgate than on
a level surface.
Also, the tailgate may suddenly open or close. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers etc. in the tailgate.
● When pulling the handle or releasing the support stays, hold and operate
them properly. Failure to do so may cause the hands etc. to be caught,
resulting in serious injury or an unexpected accident.
● Be careful when opening or closing the tailgate in windy weather, as it may
forcefully move.

1623-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
■ Effective range (areas within which the electronic key is detected)
When starting the engine or changing engine switch modes
The system can be operated when the electronic key is inside the vehicle.
(The electronic key is not detected when it is on the floor or on the instru-
ment panel.)
■ Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be acti vated in order to prevent the battery
from being discharged while the vehicle is not in operation for a long time.
■ Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping
the electronic key from receiving radio waves.
When locking or unlocking the doors
The system can be operated when the
electronic key is within about 0.7 m (2.3
ft.) of either of the lock/unlock button on
the outside door handle. (Only the
doors detecting the key can be oper-
ated.)
Press twice while pressing and
holding . Confirm that the electronic
key indicator flashes 4 times.

HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
■ Note for the entry function
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.)
● 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.
● Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within
the effective range.
■ 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.
● 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.
■ 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.)

1663-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

■ If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly
● Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. (P. 600)
● Starting the engine: P. 601
■ Electronic key battery depletion
● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
stops.
● As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. ( P. 516)
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not
operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
● 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
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■ If “Key left inside vehicle” is shown on the multi-information display
An attempt was made to lock the doors using the smart entry & start system
while the electronic key was still inside the vehicle, or an attempt was made
to lock either front door by opening a door and putting the inside lock button
into the lock position, then closing the door by pulling on the outside door
handle with the electronic key still inside the vehicle.
Retrieve the electronic key from the vehicle and lock the doors again.
■ Customization that can be configured at any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
