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 when the
engine stops. (P. 49)
Since the electronic key receives radio waves all the time, the key battery
will be depleted even when the electronic key is not being used. If any of
the following problems occurs, it is assumed that the key battery has
been depleted. Replace it with a new battery.
• The smart entry & start system or wireless remote control does not
work
• The operating range has narrowed
• The electronic key LED light does not come on
To prevent the electronic key battery from being depleted significantly, do
not place the key within 1 m (3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances,
which produce magnetism.
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Mobile and cordless phones, and their battery chargers
• Lamps
• Induction cookers
To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system.
Note for electronic key operation
Do not get the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the
system from the outside of the vehicle. Depending on the position and
holding conditions of the electronic key, the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may go off
accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not function.)
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• When locking or unlocking the doors, the electronic key is too close to
a door window or door handle, near the ground, or in a high place.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to fall closed
again after it is opened.
When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.

the back door is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
The back door may fall if it is not

CAUTION
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Seat belt damage and wear
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it
from operating properly resulting in death or serious injury.
