Installation of a mobile two-way radio systemAs the installation of a mobile two- way radio system in your vehicle
could affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection
system/sequential multi-port fuel in jection system, cruise control sys-
tem, anti-lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt preten-
sioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way
radio.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pret ensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemic als. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air-
bags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an
accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag
and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazar douswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wire-
less remote control batteries.

Using the mechanical key (vehicles with smart key system)
Take out the mechanical key.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the electronic key. If the electronic
key battery depletes or entry
function does not operate prop-
erly, you will need the mechanical
key. (P. 545)
■Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a key is lost, a new key can be made at your Toyota dealer using
the key number plate. ( P. 544)
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-
tons on the key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying a key in
your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed acciden-
tally. Pressing a button may cause the key to emit radio waves that could
interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
● Do not subject the keys to strong shocks, expose them to high tempera-
tures by placing them in direct sunlight, or get them wet.
● Do not expose the keys to electromagnetic materials or attach any mate-
rial that blocks electromagnetic waves to the key surface.
● Do not disassemble the key.
