then fold the key.

Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a smart entry & start

lock cylinder, turn it over and re-

attempt to insert it.

After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the

mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-

tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will

need the mechanical key. (→P. 589)

■If you lose your keys

New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,

or another duly qualified and equipped professional using the other key (vehi-

cles without a smart entry & start system) or mechanical key (vehicles with a

smart entry & start system) and the key number stamped on your key number

plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

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.

wireless remote control

X Vehicles without a smart entry & start system

The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-

ing situations:

●When the wireless key battery is depleted

●Near a TV tower, radio station, electric power plant, airport or other facility

that generates strong radio waves

3

●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless communi-

cation devices

●When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity

●When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic object

●When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby

depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-

cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery

when necessary. (→P. 503)

• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not

operate.

equipped professional for details.

entry & start system)

■Carrying the electronic key on your person (vehicles with a smart entry

& start system)

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, caus-

ing the key to not function properly.

■In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related

problems (vehicles with a smart entry & 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 an electronic key is lost (vehicles with a smart entry & start sys-

tem)

If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-

cantly. Visit any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-

fied and equipped professional immediately with all remaining electronic

keys that was provided with your vehicle.
