CAUTION
General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
General precautions regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the cigarette lighter, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.
Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard
them into the environment but cooperate with separate collection
(Directive 2006/66/EC).

Using the mechanical key (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
To take out the mechanical key
push the release button and take
the key out.
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 the entry
function does not operate prop-
erly, you will need the mechanical
key. (P. 525)
When required to leave a key to the vehicle with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box. (P. 353)
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
Carry the master key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
valet key only.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant
with the electronic key only.
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a key (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or mechanical
key (vehicles with smart entry & start system) is lost, a new key can be made
by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, using the key number plate. (P. 523)
When riding in an aircraft
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 carrying an electronic key in your bag etc, ensure that the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the elec-
tronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the
aircraft.

unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)
If the doors cannot be locked with the upper lock sensor of the door

Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the elec-

In the following situations, the smart entry & start system may take some
time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 2 m of the
outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart entry & start system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
If the smart entry & start system has not been used for 14 days or longer,

case, take hold of the driver door handle, or use the wireless remote con-
trol or the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
Special note for smart entry & start system
When the electronic key is in the operating range, anyone can lock and
unlock the doors even without having the electronic key. However, the
unlocking operation will not be active at a door that has not detected the
electronic key.
When the electronic key is in the operating range and the door handles
get soaked with water due to car washing or heavy rain, the doors may
be locked or unlocked. If the doors are unlocked, the doors will automati-
cally be locked again when no door operations occur in approximately 30
seconds.
If the electronic key is inside or near the vehicle and if the doors are
locked using the wireless remote control, the doors may not be unlocked
with the smart entry & start system. In this case, unlock the doors using
the wireless remote control.
Note for door locking operation
When touching a lock sensor to lock the doors while wearing gloves, the
response may be slow or the doors may not be locked. In this case,
touch the lock sensor without wearing a glove.
When door handles get wet while washing the vehicle with the electronic
key on your person, the doors may be locked and unlocked repeatedly. In
this case, keep the electronic key 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle while washing (pay attention to key theft).
When the electronic key is inside the vehicle and door handles get wet
due to a car wash, a warning message stating that the key is in the cabin
may appear on the multi-information display, interior and exterior alarms
may sound. In this case, lock the doors to stop the alarms.
A lock sensor covered with ice, snow or mud may not work properly. In
this case, remove the ice, snow or mud from the lock sensor surface and
then touch the sensor again, or unlock the doors using the lock sensor
located on the lower edge of the door handle.
Fingernails may come into contact with a door when taking hold of a door
handle. Be careful not to damage the door surface or your fingernails.
