Vehicles with a smart entry & start
system
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 hybrid system 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.
(P.136)
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. (P.388)
• The smart entry & start system or the
wireless remote control does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
To avoid serious deterioration, do not
●
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the following electrical appli-
ances that produce a magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and
battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cord-
less phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
If the electronic key is near the vehicle
●
for longer than necessary, even if the
smart entry & start system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become
depleted faster than normal.
