Keyless Entry System

This system uses the key buttons to remotely lock and unlock

the doors and the liftgate, and opens the trunk lid.

The system can start the engine without having to take the key

out of your purse or pocket.

It can also help you signal for attention.

Operating the theft deterrent system is also possible on theft deterrent

system-equipped vehicles.

Press the buttons slowly and carefully.

System malfunctions or warnings are indicated by the following warn-

ing lights or beeps.

● KEY Warning Light (Red)

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on P. 173.

Refer to Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP) Warning Beep on P. 504.

●The keyless entry system operation may vary due to local conditions.

●The keyless entry system is fully operational (door/liftgate lock/unlock) when

the ignition is switched off. The system does not operate if the ignition is

switched to any position other than off.

●If the key does not operate when pressing a button or the operational range

becomes too small, the battery may be dead. To install a new battery, refer

to Key Battery Replacement (P. 410).

●Battery life is about one year. Replace

the battery with a new one if the KEY

indicator light (green) flashes in the com-

bination meter. Replacing the battery

about once a year is recommended

because the KEY warning light/indicator

light may not illuminate or flash depend-

ing on the rate of battery depletion.

●Additional keys can be obtained at your Toyota dealer. Up to 6 keys can be

used with the keyless functions per vehicle. Bring all keys to your Toyota

dealer when additional keys are required.
