Locking operation
Unlocking operation
Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
all the doors from a distance within
approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the outside
handle of the driver’s door. When op-
erated within approximately 1 m (3 ft.)
of the trunk lid, this system also opens
the trunk lid.
To lock or unlock all the doors, push
the switches of the transmitter.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
doors are locked simultaneously.
To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 5 seconds
unlocks all the doors simultaneously.
If any of the doors is not securely closed,
or if the key is in the ignition switch, locking
cannot be performed by the “LOCK”
switch.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless unlock feature. If a door
is not opened by then, all the doors will be
automatically locked again.
If pushing the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK”
switch does not actuate the doors, and
you have checked the battery in the trans-
mitter, consult your Toyota dealer.
To open the trunk lid, push the trunk
lid open switch.
To open the trunk lid with the master key,
see “Trunk lid”.
If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not operate from a normal distance:
Check the batteries in the transmitter.
To replace the batteries, see “Replac-
ing transmitter batteries”.
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an air-
port which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
