Before driving
VENZA_U (OM73013U)
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. 607)
■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. 606)
■ 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.

the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from
operating properly. (Way of coping P. 607)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
● When carrying a portable radio, ce llular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication devices
● When the electronic key has come into contact with, or is covered by a
metallic object
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When carrying or using the electronic key together with the following
devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key
• A wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computer
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to
the rear window

ing both the topside and underside sen-
sor areas at the same time.

CAUTION
■
Power back door (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obsta-
cles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
● On an incline, the back door may fall after it opens. Make sure the back
door is fully open and secure.
● In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormali\
ty

to be operated manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back
door may open or close abruptly.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• Vehicles with smart key system:
When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is
started during automatic operation
Vehicles without smart key system:
When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the engine is started during
automatic operation
● If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, the
power back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the
back door may fall closed again after being opened, causing someone’s
hands, head or neck to be caught and injured. When installing an acces-
sory part to the back door, using a genuine Toyota part is recommended.
