Toyota C-HR (2019 year). Manual - part 9

■

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near

the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to

the rear bumper center when the back door is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover or floor, or in

the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine 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 recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside 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
unlocked or locked by anyone.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door han-
dle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the
effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approximately
60 seconds 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.)

130

●

Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle.
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the

vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

• Set electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key sys-

tem. (

P. 127)

●

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 dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. 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.

●

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-
nal 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.

●

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

131

■

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. 486)

■

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 vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The
alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not operate.)

WARNING

■

Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

●

People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system antennas. (

P. 125)

The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.

●

Users  of  any  electrical  medical  device  other  than  implantable  cardiac
pacemakers,  cardiac  resynchronization  therapy-pacemakers  or  implant-
able  cardioverter  defibrillators  should  consult  the  manufacturer  of  the
device  for  information  about  its  operation  under  the  influence  of  radio
waves.
Radio  waves  could  have  unexpected  effects  on  the  operation  of  such
medical devices.

Ask your Toyota dealer for details on disabling the entry function.

Adjustment procedure

WARNING

■

When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.

●

Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

●

Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.

■

Seat adjustment

●

Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

●

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

136

Rear seats

Park the vehicle in a safe place.

Apply the parking brake firmly and shift the shift lever to P. (

P. 181)

Adjust the position of the front seat and the angle of the seatback.
(

P. 135)

Depending on the position of the front seat, if the seatback is folded
backward, it may interfere with the operation of the rear seat.
Lift up and push down the head restraints of the rear outboard
seats, and lower the head restraint of the rear center seat.
(

P. 138)

Pull the seatback lock release
lever and fold the seatback down.

To  avoid  trapping  the  seat  belt
between the seat and the inside of
the  vehicle,  pass  the  seat  belt
inside the seat belt guide and then
return  the  seatback  securely  to
the locked position.

The seatbacks of the rear seats can be folded down.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

■

When folding the rear seatbacks down

●

Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

●

Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.

●

Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.

●

Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks.

●

Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seat-
backs so that the front seats do not interfere with the rear seatbacks when
folding down the rear seatbacks.

■

After returning the rear seatback to the upright position

●

Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked  in  position  by  lightly  rocking  it
back and forth.
If  the  seatback  is  not  securely  locked,
the  red  marking  will  be  visible  on  the
seatback lock release knob. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.

●

Check that the seat belts are not twisted
or caught in the seatback.
If the seat belt gets caught between the
seatback’s securing hook and latch, it
may damage the seat belt.
