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 carry -
ing an electronic key in your bag etc.,
ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a but -
ton may cause the electronic key to emit
radio waves that could interfere with the operation of t he aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.
●If the battery becom es low, an alarm
will sound in the cabin and a message will be displayed on the multi-informa -
tion display when the hybrid system
stops.
●To reduce key battery depletion when
the electronic key is to not be used for long periods of time, set the electronic
key to the batter y-saving mode.
( →P.225)
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the ba ttery will become depleted even if the electronic key is
not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper -
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself
( →P.543). However, as there is a dan-
ger that the electro nic key may be dam-
aged, it is recomm ended that replace-
ment is carried ou t by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the followi ng electrical appli- ances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers • Cellular phones, cordless phones and
battery chargers
• Table lamps • Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle for longer than necessary, even if the
smart entry & star t system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become depleted faster than normal.
■If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or power switch
mode, etc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle, leaving the vehicle
carrying the electronic key on your per -
son without turning t he power switch to OFF or other passengers from uninten -
