OPTIONS

SKS: Smart-Entry

It is proximity detection system that automatically senses a wireless transmitter (called a "key-fob") in your pocket or

purse, allowing you to unlock the doors & hatch without the need to use a physical key or push a button on a remote.

Touchless Unlock

Reaching into the handle area on the outside of the Driver's door, you'll trigger the sensor to

unlock just that door.

Reaching into the handle area on the outside of the Passenger's door, you'll trigger the sensor to

unlock all the doors.

Reaching into the handle area on the outside of the Hatch door, you'll trigger the sensor to unlock

the all the doors as well as the hatch.

Automatic Disable

Leaving the key-fob inserted into the dashboard-slot for more than 10 minutes after power OFF

will cause the SKS to be disabled. To enable it again, press the button under the steering-wheel.

Manual Disable

Look for a button labeled "SMART" on the dashboard directly underneath the steering-wheel.

Pushing that will toggle between disable & enable. As the 12-volt auxiliary battery ages, constant

trickle drains from it for extended durations (especially during the winter) should be avoided. So if

you are going to leave your Prius sit for several weeks, the disable will help you get the longest life

from the battery. Note that the battery-pack, not the auxiliary, is what supplies power for starting

the engine.

Another use for that "SMART" button is to simply prevent the wireless functionality, should you

have the need for direct-contact only operation.

Fob Battery

That small key inside the fob can be removed and used to open the driver's door manually, when

the battery wears out due to excessive age. The battery isn't necessary to start the Prius when the

key-fob is inserted into the dashboard slot; though, you will want to eventually replace the battery

(CR-2032).

Outside Locking

On both front door handles and the hatch in back, there are small black buttons. Pushing one of

them will trigger a beep and flash the lights to inform you the SKS (formally known as SE/SS)

system has just locked the Prius. This ability prevents the need for you to ever touch the SKS

device in your pocket or purse… unless you need to use the "panic" button on the back (which

honks the horn and flashes the lights).

SKS: Smart-Start

It is proximity detection system that automatically senses a wireless transmitter (called a "key-fob") in your pocket or

purse, allowing you to start the hybrid system without the need to use a physical key or push a button on a remote.

Fob Battery

When the fob battery wears out due to excessive age, you can still start the hybrid system without

replacing the battery (CR-2032). Just insert the fob into the dashboard-slot manually. It will get

sensed that way, even though the remote ability is not available.
