WARNING

Observe the following precau- tions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

    Before driving
    Make sure that the back door is fully closed.

If the back door is not fully closed, it may open unexpect- edly while driving and hit near- by objects or luggage in the lug- gage compartment may be thrown out, causing an acci- dent.

    Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could get heat exhaustion or other injuries.

    Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back door to operate unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.

    Vehicles without power back door: The back door may sud- denly 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.
    Vehicles with power back door: The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully, while on a steep incline. Make sure that the back door is secured before using the lug- gage compartment.
    When closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers, etc. from being caught.
    Vehicles without power back door: When closing the back door, make sure to press it lightly on its outer surface. If the back door handle is used to fully close the back door, it may result in hands or arms being caught.

    Vehicles without power back door: Do not pull on the back door damper stay (P.206) to close the back door, and do not hang on the back door damper stay.

Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break, causing an accident.

    Vehicles with power back door: Do not pull on the back door spindle (P.214) to close the back door, and do not hang on the back door spindle.

Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door spin- dle to break, causing an acci- dent.

    Vehicles without power back door: If a bicycle carrier or simi- lar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a genuine Toyota part is recommended.

If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked using the smart key system, lock/unlock the doors by performing any of the following:

    Bring the electronic key close to either front door handle and oper- ate the entry function.
    Operate the wireless remote con- trol. If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked using the above methods, use the mechanical key. (P.196)

If the hybrid system cannot be started using the smart key system, refer to P.538.

    Note for the entry function
    Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detec- tion areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
    The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han- dle, near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
    The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes are changed.
    Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna out- side the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle.
    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 electronic key can be used to lock or unlock the vehicle. (For vehicles equipped with sensors on the rear door han- dles, it is possible to lock (but not unlock) all the doors using a door handle that is not being detected by the electronic key.)
    Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possi- ble to start the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.
    The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 60 sec- onds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
    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.)
    Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sen- sor again.
    When the lock operation is per- formed using the lock sensor, rec- ognition signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
    If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correc- tion procedures to wash the vehi- cle:
    Place the electronic key in a loca- tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
    Set the electronic key to battery- saving mode to disable the smart key system. (P.218)
    If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer will sound outside the vehi- cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
    The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.
    A sudden approach to the effec- tive range or door handle may pre- vent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original position

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

    If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
    When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
    To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
    The smart key system can be deactivated in advance. (P.574)
    Battery-saving mode can reduce the power consumption of elec- tronic keys. (P.218)
    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 vehi- cle.

Depending on the position and hold- ing condition of the electronic key, the key may not be detected cor- rectly and the system may not oper- ate properly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock pre- vention may not operate.)

    If the smart key system does not operate properly
