used. To cancel the function, press any of

the electronic key buttons.

■Conditions affecting operation

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

tions, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be

affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control

and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.

(Ways of coping: P. 457)

●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 electrical

noise

●When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following

metallic objects

ꢀ Cards to which aluminum foil is attached

ꢀ Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside

ꢀ Metallic wallets or bags

ꢀ Coins

ꢀ Hand warmers made of metal

ꢀ Media such as CDs and DVDs

●When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby

●When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that

emit radio waves

ꢀ Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless commu-

nication device

ꢀ Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves

ꢀ Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)

ꢀ Digital audio players

ꢀ Portable game systems

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

rear window

●When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic

devices

131

3-2. 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 (if equipped)

or floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or

engine switch modes are changed.

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

locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-

tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

Depending on the situation, even when the electronic key in the vicinity of

opposite side door to the door to be unlocked, the electronic key may be

detected and the door unlocks.

●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic

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.)

■Note for the unlocking function

●There are cases when pulling the door handle while pressing the Lock/

Unlock button that the door will not unlock. In those cases, after returning

the door handle to the original position, press the Lock/Unlock button once

again and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle.

●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly

longer for the doors to unlock after the Lock/Unlock button is pressed.

■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.

●The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. (P. 483)

■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 function may not

operate.)

■If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly

●Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. (P. 457)

●Starting the engine: P. 458

■Electronic 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. (P. 425)

●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. 381)

ꢀ The smart entry & start 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 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

ꢀ Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers

ꢀ Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones

ꢀ Table lamps

ꢀ Induction cookers

WARNING

■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization

therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should main-

tain a reasonable distance between themselves and the smart entry &

start system antennas. (P. 127)

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

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

Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details, such as the

frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then,

consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.

●Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac

pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant-

able cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the

device for information about its operation under the influence of radio

waves.

3

Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such

medical devices.

Ask any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer for details on disabling the entry function.
