Using the mechanical key  
To take out the mechanical key,  
slide the release lever and take  
the key out.  
The mechanical key can only be  
inserted in one direction, as the  
key only has grooves on one side.  
If the key cannot be inserted in a  
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. 463)

Panic mode  
When  
is pressed for longer than  
about one second, an alarm will sound  
intermittently and the vehicle lights will  
flash to deter any person from trying to  
break into or damage your vehicle.  
To stop the alarm, press any button on the  
electronic key.  
If you lose your mechanical keys  
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the

When riding in an aircraft  
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press  
any button on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are car-  
rying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely  
to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to  
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.  
Conditions affecting operation  
P. 137  
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.  
As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become  
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. 415)  
• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.  
• The detection area becomes smaller.  
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.  
To reduce key battery depletion when the electronic key is to not be used for  
long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode.  
(P. 137)  
To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1  
m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:  
• TVs  
• Personal computers  
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers  
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones  
Table lamps  
• Induction cookers

NOTICE  
To prevent key damage  
Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.  
Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of time.  
Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.  
Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys  
close to such materials.  
Do not disassemble the keys.  
Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.  
Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as  
TVs, audio systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical equip-  
ment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.  
Carrying the electronic key on your person  
Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appli-  
ances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances  
within 3.9 in. (10 cm) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-  
ing the key to not function properly.  
In case of a smart key system malfunction or other key-related prob-  
lems  
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to  
your Toyota dealer.  
When an electronic key is lost  
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-  
cantly. Visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic  
keys that were provided with your vehicle.
