When riding in an aircraft  
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not  
press any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you  
are carrying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are  
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the elec-  
tronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the  
aircraft.

NOTICE  
To prevent key damage  
Observe the following:  
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 glass top ranges, or medical electrical equipment,  
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, causing  
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 a vehicle key is lost  
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit  
your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys that was  
provided with your vehicle.
