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

■Carrying the electronic key on your person (vehicles with 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 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 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 were provided with your vehicle.
