driving score
*1 and advice*2 related to using the air conditioning
system are displayed. ( →P. 9 6 )
Low score

■Eco score (A/C score)
●The setting status of the following air conditioning system functions are
reflected in the score.
• Temperature setting
• Fan speed setting
• Outside air and recirculated air modes
• “A/C” button
• S-FLOW mode
• “CLIMATE CONTROL”
● The Eco score (A/C score) is evaluated according to the ambient tempera-
ture and cabin temperature. Accordingly, even if the same settings are
always used for the air conditioning system, the evaluation will change
according to such factors as the season and weather.
● When the air conditioning system is not being used or the airflow mode is
set to or , the Eco score (A/C score) is not evaluated. (While the
air conditioning system is not evaluated, its usage status is not reflected in
the total Eco score result.)
● The Eco score (A/C score) is a function that helps select an air conditio\
ning
system setting which reduces fuel consumption, not a function that satisfies
both comfortability and low fuel consumption.

Operation of each component
To take out the mechanical key,
slide the release lever and take
the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one side.
If the key cannot be inserted in a
lock cylinder, turn it over and re-
attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-
tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will
need the mechanical key. (→P. 705)
■Panic mode
■ If you lose your mechanical keys
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using
another mechanical key 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.
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press
any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are
carrying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not
likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

■Alarms and warning messages
An alarm sounds and warning message displays shown on the multi-informa-
tion display are used to protect against unexpected accidents or theft of the
vehicle resulting from erroneous operation. When a warning message is dis-
played, take appropriate measures based on the displayed message.
When only an alarm sounds, circumstances and correction procedures are as
follows.
■ When “Smart Key System malfunct ion See owner’s manual” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
■ Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic
key battery and the 12-volt battery from being discharged while the vehicle is
not in operation for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart key system may take some time to
unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart key system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
● If the smart key system has not been used for 14 days or longer, the doors
cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case, take
hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or the
mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

Operation of each component
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, floor, or in the door pockets
or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes
are changed.
● Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near t\
he
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
door will become lockable from the out side, possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
unlocked or locked by anyone.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.
● The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door han-
dle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the
effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approximately
60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● 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.)
● Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
● If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle.
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the
vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key sys-
tem. ( →P. 178)
● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock
all the doors.
