When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key

onto an aircraft, make sure you do

not press any buttons on the elec-

tronic key while inside the aircraft

cabin. If you are carrying an elec-

tronic 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 inter-

fere with the operation of the air-

craft.

■

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 and a

message will be shown on the

multi-information display 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 bat-

tery-saving mode. (



P.109)

●

As the electronic key always

receives radio waves, the battery

will become depleted even if the

electronic key is not used. The fol-

lowing symptoms indicate that the

electronic key battery may be

depleted. Replace the battery

when necessary. (

P.452)

• The smart key system or the wire-

less remote control does not oper-

ate.

• The detection area becomes

smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key sur-

face does not turn on.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do

not leave the electronic key within

3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-

cal 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

operated, the key battery may

become depleted faster than nor-

mal.

■

To prevent an accident

Observe the following precautions

while driving the vehicle.

Failure to do so may result in a

door opening and an occupant

being thrown out of the vehicle,

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that all doors are prop-

erly closed and locked.

●

Do not pull the inside door han-

dle while driving.

Be especially careful of the front

doors, as the doors may be

opened even if the inside lock

buttons are in the locked posi-

tion.

●

Set the rear door child-protector

locks when children are seated

in the rear seats.

■

When opening or closing a

door

Check the surroundings of the

vehicle such as whether the vehi-

cle is on an incline, whether there

is enough space for a door to

open and whether a strong wind

is blowing. When opening or clos-

ing the door, hold the door handle

tightly to prepare for any unpre-

dictable movement.

■

When using the wireless

remote control and operating

the power windows

Operate the power windows after

checking to make sure that there

is no possibility of any passenger

having any of their body parts

caught in the windows. Also, do

not allow children to operate the

wireless remote control. It is pos-

sible for children and other pas-

sengers to get caught in the

power windows.

Back door

The back door can be
locked/unlocked and
opened by the following
procedures.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

Caution while driving

●

Keep the back door closed

while driving. If the back door is

left open, it may hit near-by

objects while driving or luggage

may be unexpectedly thrown

out, causing an accident.

In addition, exhaust gases may

enter the vehicle, causing death

or a serious health hazard.

Make sure to close the back

door before driving.

●

Before driving the vehicle, make

sure that the back door is fully

closed. If the back door is not

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving, causing

an accident.

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment. In the event

of sudden braking or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle

●

Do not allow children to play in

the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked

in the luggage compartment,

they could have heat exhaus-

tion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back

door to move unexpectedly, or

cause the child’s hands, head,

or neck to be caught by the

closing back door.

■

Operating the back door

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the back

door before opening it. Failure

to do so may cause the back

door to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the

back door, thoroughly check to

make sure the surrounding area

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make

sure they are safe and let them

know that the back door is

about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may suddenly

shut if it is not opened fully. It is

more difficult to open or close

the back door on an incline than

on a level surface, so beware of

the back door unexpectedly

opening or closing by itself.

Make sure that the back door is

fully open and secure before

using the luggage compartment.

genuine Toyota part is recom-

mended.
