The key must be carried because the key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine controls at short range.

The engine can be started when the push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.

The push button start system functions (function which can start the engine
by only carrying the key) can be deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult your Toyota dealer for details. If the push button start sys-
tem functions have been deactivated, you can start the engine by following
the procedure indicated when the key battery goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When Key Battery is Dead on P. 145.

This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.

• The key is placed in areas where it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal (→P. 93).

range.
