■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key 
onto an aircraft, make sure you do 
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft 
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic 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 inter-
fere with the oper ation of the air-
craft.
■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 and a 
message will be dis played on the 
multi-information  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 bat-
tery-saving mode. (
P.218)
●As the electronic key always 
receives radio waves, the battery 
will become depleted  even if the 
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the 
electronic key battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary.
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote contro l does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes  smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by your-
self ( P.493). However, as there is 
a danger that the electronic key may 
be damaged, it is recommended 
that replacement is carried out by 
your Toyota dealer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances 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 key system is not 
operated, the key battery may 
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.
■If a message regarding the state 
of the electronic key or power 
switch mode, e tc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic 
key inside the vehicle, leaving the

tered to the vehicle can be con-
firmed. Ask your Toyota dealer for

tered Contact Your Dealer for 
Details” is displayed on the 
multi-information display
This message will be displayed 
each time the driver’s door is 
opened when the doors are 
unlocked from the outside for 
approximately 10 days after a new 
electronic key has been registered.
