■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 electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■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 is stopped.
- 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.
- As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become depleted even if the
electronic key is not used. The following
symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
- 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.
- You can replace the battery by yourself. However, as there is a danger that the electronic key may be damaged, it is recommended that replacement is carried out by your Toyota dealer.
- 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
- If the electronic key is near the
vehicle for longer than necessary,
even if the smart key system is not
used, the key battery may become
depleted faster than normal.
When not using the smart key system, it is recommended not to stay with the electronic key near the vehicle longer than necessary.
■The electronic key function is suspended when
The electronic key function may be suspended when the electronic key is kept unmoved in a same location for a certain period, such as it is left on a same place. This is to reduce battery consumption. The function will be restored automatically when the electronic key is moved, such as it is picked up.
■Confirmation of the registered key number
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed.
Ask your Toyota dealer for details.
■If "A New Key has been Registered Contact Your Dealer for Details" is shown on the multi-information display
This message will be displayed each time the driver's door is opened when the doors are unlocked from the outside for approximately one week after a new electronic key has been registered.
If this message is displayed but you have not had a new electronic key registered, ask your Toyota dealer to check if an unknown electronic key (other than those in your possession) has been registered.
