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 a smart entry & start system or a push-but-
ton start system) or a mechanical key (vehicles with a smart entry & start
system or a push-button 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. 623)
When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
NOTICE

Observe the following:
Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.
Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.

Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appli-
ances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances
within 10 cm (3.9 in.) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, causing

In case of a smart entry & start system or a push-button start system
malfunction or other key-related problems (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system or a push-button start system)
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
When a vehicle key is lost (vehicles with a smart entry & start system
or a push-button start system)
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately with all remaining electronic keys that
