 Effective range (areas within which the electronic key is

detected)

When locking or unlocking

the doors

The system can be operated

when the electronic key is

within about 0.7 m (2.3 ft.) of

either of the outside front

door handles and back door.

(Only the doors detecting the

key can be operated.)

When starting the hybrid

system

or

changing

“POWER” switch modes

47

1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Operation signals

The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/

unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)

Conditions affecting operation

The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the following situ-

ations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may

be affected, preventing the smart entry & start system and wireless remote

control from operating properly: (Ways of coping: P. 474)

 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, cellular 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 computers

 If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to

the rear window

48

1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Battery-saving function

In the following circumstances, the entry function is disabled in order to pre-

vent the vehicle and electronic key batteries from discharging.

 When the entry function has not been used for 2 weeks or more

1

 When the electronic key has been left within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of

the vehicle for 10 minutes or more

The system will resume operation when...

 The vehicle is locked using the door handle lock switch.

 The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control func-

tion. (P. 70)

 The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key. (P. 474)

Key battery depletion

 The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The battery becomes depleted

even if the electronic key is not used.) If the smart entry & start system or

the wireless remote control function does not operate, or the detection

area becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery

when necessary. (P. 397)

 If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the

hybrid system stops. (P. 441)

 To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m

(3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field.

• TVs

• Personal computers

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones

• Table lamps

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. 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 condition of the electronic key, the

key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.

(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not func-

tion.)

49

1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Note for the entry function

 Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection

areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,

near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or

unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover, floor or in

the glove box when the hybrid system is started or “POWER” switch

modes are changed.

 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.

 As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may

be locked or unlocked by anyone.

 Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to

start the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.

 The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door

handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically

be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened

and closed.)

 Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

 If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-

tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not

be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to

unlock the doors.)

When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6

ft.) of the vehicle.

Security feature

If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is

unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.

50

1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Alarms and warning messages

A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning messages

and accidents resulting from erroneous operation. Take appropriate mea-

sures in response to any warning message on the multi-information display.

(P. 436)

CAUTION

Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

 People with implanted pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators should main-

tain a reasonable distance between themselves and the smart entry &

start system antennas. (P. 46)

The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,

the entry function can be disabled. Ask any authorized Toyota dealer or

repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for details,

such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of emitting the radio

waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry

function.

 User of any electrical medical device other than implanted pacemakers

and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the

device for information about its operation under the influence of radio

waves.

Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such
