2010 Toyota Prius: Smart Key

[TheEvilCats47243]

Thats very nice im so getting it you guys do a good job keep it up Toyota!

[TheParis9453]

u guies did not explain the ac button

[pettersaethre]

whats the point with prius? the released pollution that goes into the construction of components of this car, equals the polution of the construction AND the lifetime use of a normal car. enviromentalists are being fools

[6speedm]

the land rover discovery and hummer h2 are more environmentally friendly than the prius

[6speedm]

save the planet, crush a prius

[IncredableDrE]

My prius saved my life and I am never going to buy another conpanies hybrid but Toyotas prius.

[UnitedPebbles]

The small key are not friendly in giant hands!

[xyes]

does all the option only available selectively? my smart key has only a lock button & an unlock button, does that mean i can't customise the unlock 1-door/all-door option?

[SAILORJIN]

很牛B

[NOTy0urPUPPET]

I dont trust a car with all electronic controls, when I step on brakes I want BRAKES NOW not a computer with fuel economy to decide how much brakes I might need or not.

[bigzbert]

@NOTy0urPUPPET 000 ha. That's why Americans should buy American cars

[kurokung]

I'm just curious...

what if I'm sitting in a coffeeshop and I'm parked the prius in front of the shop.

which is not so far.

will it senses my key? and if somebody touched the door handle

will it be unlocked ?

I'm afraid of it would be stolen it front of me .....

[ejoker2u]

Just brought a Prius ZVW 30 with the normal two button keyless remote: lock and unlock. Just wonder whether how to reset the door lock and unlock mode? eg. only driver door open when door handle are touch in stead of all the door. 

[tobyisawesome100]

UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYY  CAR!!!!

@tobyisawesome100

Yea...Its a real EYESORE to the gas station every time my wife passes their pumps...A REAL EYESORE.

(But my wallet is in love with it :)

this news prius are so pretty and cute....I hope to buy one someday....

[ch1ldpr3d3t0r]

@YangCYV have fun looking like a pompus douch

[dkw12002]

So there I am sitting in my car. I gave my daughter the key fob with mailbox keys attached so she could check the mail. As she left the car, the display flashed a warning saying something like the key is gone. (Elvis has left the building) went through my mind. I suppose it would then sound the alarm after a while. What's with that? Also how can I warm up my car? Can I just leave with the fob after starting the car, or do I leave the fob in the car and go away?

[ToyotaUSA]

@dkw12002 The warning light on the dash and the beeping warns the driver that the

keys are not in the vehicle. The vehicle will remain on until it is turned

off. With this being said, you can warm up your vehicle and keep the keys

with you. Hope that helps! ^DG

[TTM77]

@ToyotaUSA Also ppl can get into your car and drive away without the key when it already started. They can't restart the car. And you can't use the fob to lock when your car engine is running but you can use the mechanical key to lock and the catch you have to use the mechanical key to unlock too.

[dkw12002]

@dkw12002 Thanks. Another Pruis owner said to forget warming the car up cause the engine doesn't need it and it would take a long time to get the cabin heat up with the car idling. I see this is true, so I just dress warmer and take right off. The cabin heats up in about 5 min. which is fine. I'm getting 45 mpg on the ECO setting in town. Now if I can just find a route to work that is downhill both ways, I can get that up to 50 mpg.

[sweetoniondish]

I pressed Panic/Unlock/Lock for 5 seconds and I confirmed mode changed on front display. However pressing unlock still opens driver door lock only. I repeated this many times but I can't change personalize setting of my smart key. Any process missing?

[xLinkinPark209x]

Good if somebody forgets their keys inside their car...bad if somebody else notices the keys in the car.

[lilaznoreo3]

no regular key? thats interesting. but dont that mean if someone breaks into your car, anyone can just start your car and drive away?

[ToyotaUSA]

@lilaznoreo3 It's wireless so they would still need your key fob. Hope this helps. ^RF

[lilaznoreo3]

@ToyotaUSA ohhh got it! so the remote has to be near the car.

[enderwigginfan]

hey, guys, does anyone know if every smart key has to have a mechanical key inside? i recently purchased a SH toyota corrola with the smart key system, and received two smart key fobs, but only one of them has a mechanical hey inside. have i been jipped?

[ToyotaUSA]

@enderwigginfan You should have a metal key in the sides of both smart key fobs. If not, see your dealer. ^RF

[musicgirl2966]

Do you have to get the smart key when you buy the prius? Or can you just get normal keys?

[ToyotaUSA]

@musicgirl2966 Smart Key System is standard. All Priuses have push button start. No

regular key. Hope that helps!

[ToyotaUSA]

@musicgirl2966 They all come with push button start. So no normal key is used. ^RF

[heartlessvietboy]

The Best Hybrid Automobiles:

5. Ford Escape + Hybrid.

[ihearthescreaming]

Toyota = Fail!

[DavidKneiber]

You guys should design a better looking keyfob, this is embarassing.

Great videos by the way!

[3619Country]

It looks like an atomic cockroach.

[toyotakluger2138]

I have this car It's bravo!

[murcielago06gt]

@GarrettKeetley That they do. Today anyway. Back in the 70s they had it right. Look at the first gen RX-7, the Datsun 280z, the Toyota 2000GT, the Datsun Skyline, all gorgeous cars. But now they're ugly as fuck.

[murcielago06gt]

Last time I dropped my metal key in a puddle......I was still able to use it.

[514steph5151]

can you pass from park to neutral without the smart key??....im in a towing buiness and its happen often(lost key) ty for the anwser

[ToyotaUSA]

@514steph5151 The smart key is needed to turn the car on to engage the transmission.

[hoylakegrumpy]

Very helpful.

[SnortedColors]

foeget about smart keys, how about smart brakes? (or even dumb brakes that really work)

[TheSmartdude11]

thts 2 many buttons just to program the doors lol

[LoveandEqualityToAll]

Can i update the battery if in 10 years a new technology battery comes for the new Prius can i do it in the old one?

[ToyotaUSA]

@LoveandEqualityToAll We can't answer this one at this time. We'll have to wait and see.

[FBIHank]

I know why most of america is buying this foriengh discrace because no one in the right mind whould steal it.

[roflcopterfudgecakes]

Its a tampon on wheels :D

[garoto291]

beautiful!!!!!!

[pipout1235]

my dad just bought that car its amazing!

[DCHToyotaofFreehold]

Great Feature from Toyota!

[roley33]

"mrbeb123" u need get out from yo mommas basement. U need to stop trolling around like a loser and and enter a debate with a base and foundation of argument. All u have for this toyota argument is an ignorant, moronic, biased OPINION.

[ProjectOZ]

Ac button is for the remote air conditioning. While outside the car you can activate it and the prius will operate it's air conditioning to pre set temperature settings using only the solar panel on it's roof. The engine or hybrid system will not need to turn on. Neat feature

[Wako098]

The part where it automaticly locks the doors after 60 seconds is like the Honda Pilot. My mom has a Pilot and it is great!

[xvrhernandez349]

what is the a/c button??

[LOVETOYOTAS]

@xvrhernandez349 the a/c button is for the air con. You can press this button before you get into the car and the Prius with start the air con and cool the car down so you don't get into a hot vechale. Useful in the middle of summer.

[xvrhernandez349]

@LOVETOYOTAS thats really cool, thanks :D

[LOVETOYOTAS]

@xvrhernandez349 Yes and it dosn't have to start the cars engine to do it either.

[Djordjeblrs]

And what if you left key inside,and it locks

[clintbhs02]

wow a lot of one sides people who post comments... no wonder people around the world hate Americans.. all you do is talk about yourself and how good you are. What you are too stupid to realize every American was once a foreigner..

[Livenlaff]

TOYOTA =

[malaissay]

@MrBEB123 Why are you even on this video clip? You searched "Toyota" on youtube just so you could bash Toyota drivers? Surely you must have better things to do.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

@MrBEB123

"The brand is extremely unreliable, does not hold up well in crashes"

For the last 10-20 years, nothing can be farther from the truth.

It took foreign companies building better cars for decades, convincing everyone except the most national socialist of American that they shouldnt buy junk just because its an American brand, to make the American companies realize that their hyperproduction strategy sucks for the consumer.

I say national socialist using the most explicit definition.

[MrBEB123]

@Spanky00Cheeks Toyota and Lexus are junk. Extreme major problems that have already killed people and massive down time without being able to find the problems. Totally undeveloped technology that saves a only a very small amount of fuel at a giant cost. Our organization at work has some of these cars for running errands and they are just terrible. Poor ergonomics and not fun to drive. My 1995 Caprice is built like a tank and a blast to drive. Far better than any new Toyota or Lexus.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

@MrBEB123

I agree that the Prius, especially the earlier models, were more of a novelty or a social statement, than anything else. Like an iPad or something :D.

And looking at the cost, it was more of a fiscal donation for research than buying a car. But the hybrid system in general is superior, if driven right.

I don't know where you are getting you data on Toyota in general being inferior. Here is some proof to the contrary:

normantaylor (dot) com/lemon-law-graph-by-make (dot) php

Read it!

[efadaei]

@MrBEB123 Lexus is on par with Merc in terms of quality, luxury and even performance. Your 1995 Caprice ain't worth shit and it probably drives like a grocery cart, only in a straight line with bad steering and garbage brakes. If I wanted to drive a 1995 Caprice, I would just get a grocery cart from the nearest walmart and put a 60 hp motor on the back.

[efadaei]

@Spanky00Cheeks I agree with you. Too bad most "patriotic" Americans like MrBEB123 make the rest of the Americans think they should buy American junk just because its made in America. While he doesn't know that he is doing a disservice to his fellow countrymen by buying garbage products and misleading American companies to think that their product is good since it sells.

[dortmundpls]

Toyota sales up 40 percent. Woohoo! Great car.

[MrBEB123]

@dortmundpls You know nothing about cars. I would rather drive on a daily basis any American car that was made in the 1960's if it were in new condition than any Toyota product including their laughable Lexus brand. Today's American cars are better as well. Our organization has both for running errands and the American cars are much better than the Toyota's that nobody wants to drive. A tin can of a car with horrible ergonomics. If I want to save a small amount of gas I will take a bus.

[BW022]

@MrBEB123 If any of that was true... Toyota wouldn't be the top selling automaker in the US, GM and Crysler wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and there wouldn't be a Prius. No... Americans have bought more Toyota's than any other car for nearly a two decades for the simple reason that Japanese cars are better. And saying that someone else doesn't know about cars must mean that there were a lot of stupid Americans last year buying Toyota cars rather than GM or Crysler.

[efadaei]

@MrBEB123 Shut the fuck up with the patriotic act. "Today's American cars are better" my ass. I'd rather drive German, Swedish, Italian, Japanese cars before I drive an American car. Heck, India, China and even Iran are starting to make better cars than the American junk you drive. Not everything American made is better. I have Italian suits, drive a German car, have Japanese electronics and drink Russian vodka. So you can kiss my ass bitch.

[murcielago06gt]

@efadaei So true. American cars are junk. Wasn't always like that. In the late 80s and throughout the 90s they got really lazy and figured (knew) that Americans would buy their name no matter what they gave them. For most it worked. They took sure and clear advantage of nationalism. I drive an old aircooled VW. No technology or power anything, but dammit that thing can take a million slugs and it won't die for anything.

[theukisawesomeful]

Toyota is the number 1 selling car in america

[DEADINSIDE1991]

Is it just me or does that stupid beep sound like a microwave where are my hot pockets stupid toyotas

[BlueTreecko]

Nice...I got one for my birthday...but it's a pretty good and cheap car

[ItzMeScottG]

i have this on my 2006 prius.

[fixman88]

Wow, touch the door to lock it! Awesome!

[LordSamuelJ]

they forgot to mention the cool new feature where the gas pedal sticks and the breaks fail :)

[midnitesquirldog]

hey remember the movie ""judge dredd"" and ""demolition"" man this is what the world is coming to can anyone see what im seeing it doesnt look good ;(

[1wb7kj]

The parts in the recalled vehicles were made by american companies!!!!!! Cars of the same model in japan have no recall because the parts are made in japan!!!THIS IS THE U.S.A's fault !!!!!

[TheGreatCorneliuski]

The door handles look like they cost 10 times as much as normal door handles. Scary

[Starlightlovesongs27]

Strong radio wave interference ? Like what? satellite?

[neodagon]

By the way, did you know that the American government is making such an scandal of Toyota's brakes?. Especially CNN, they are criticizing Toyota everyday, every moment. In fact, this is just an American conspiration against Toyota.

You can make sure just watching CNN for a few hours...

[michaelmlt]

So true

[Iceman1800]

Are brakes optional on this?

[JillAnderson]

Below are the vehicles involved in the recent recalls that will kill you and your family.

Toyota expects more vehicles to be added to the list soon.  Visit Toyota's website for further instructions to avoid dying.

2005-2010 Avalon 2010 Prius 2007-2010 Camry 2009-2010 RAV4 2009-2010 Corolla 2008-2010 Sequoia 2008-2010 Highlander 2005-2010 Tacoma 2009-2010 Matrix 2007-2010 Tundra 2004-2009 Prius 2009-2010 VENZA

[persoconheavymetal]

Toyota is the best, i love cars japanese!

[aggiegal20]

I love my Camry! It was involved in the recall and I got it fixed up no problem. The last car I had was a Chrysler Cirrus and I poured more money into the piece of crap car then I did putting a down payment on my Camry! I have always thought foreign cars ran better. I don't think that makes me "un-American" but you all can think and say what you like... That part of what makes this country great!

[efadaei]

@aggiegal20 You are more American that any other American that says you are "un-American" just because you bought a foreign car. American consumers should have a choice without any grief.

[rurokenshin4]

cool

[baberuthistheman]

Buy American . .and be Proud !

[durrset2]

Proud of what, exactly? Driving an awful car?

[PBFloyd7]

(It is time for Americans to start buying our own products so that we do not end up being owned by the Asians.) Sorry to disappoint you MrBEB123, but who do you think owns Rockefeller Center... or the Empire State Building? George W. held a huge garage sale some years ago.

Great smart key though...

[crazymat11123]

toyota is moving forward ... freaking fast and bang!

[Headshot426]

Most Toyo's are made in Japan you ill-informed brainwashed fanboy. Not to mention the quality has dropped behind Chrysler. Look at the numbers.

BTW Ford is upgrading brakes that work perfectly fine. I wouldn't exactly call it a faulty brake like your POS Japanese car.

[Xiber1]

Toyota will come back bigger, better and bolder............these are relativly minor issues, Ford Fusion is on a recall too for brake problems.

[jaydenfre2413]

Too bad Toyota quality has gone down  hill.Now they're the worst car maker.

[stupidbrain1]

stfu this car is awesome!!!

[MrBEB123]

Foreign cars are not good for the American economy, have sky high parts prices and insurance and have sub par safety. The latest gas pedal problem with Toyota vehicles is a good example of that. It is time for Americans to start buying our own products so that we do not end up being owned by the Asians.

[Xiber1]

FYI, Toyotas are more American than most so called American cars are.....Toyotas are made in USA and of US parts (thats the problem( while GM Ford, Chrysler are made of asian parts and assembled mostly in Mexico and Canada..........so which is more American, Toyota, or GM and Ford?

[efadaei]

@MrBEB123 Wake up and smell the coffee because the American economy is down the toilet. Soon China is going to be the leader of the global economy.

[murcielago06gt]

@efadaei It is. They deserve it more than us.

[bradtaj123]

@jnsleeper1 boo

[swtkali4nian]

this is my dream car :)

[publiux]

If you're so much into buying American, you should tell American car companies to produce better cars, cars as good as the Prius. That's American capitalism, isn't it? Or is "Buy American" the slogan of the supposed "capitalist" protecting their industries like communists do? Learn to compete in the marketplace or perish, that is the American way.

[dhom100]

well said. I'm all for buying American made cars but I'm not going to lie or pretend that they're better than Japanese cars. it's the other way around. American cars are getting better thankfully. but they're still playing catch up.

[Thinkify1]

The problem I have with Toyota is their addressing of defective products. Lately there have been issues with the accelerator sticking and causing accidents. I find it hard to believe that the problem is related to a floor mat or a gas pedal that's too long. Toyota uses drive by wire, which means there is no physical connection between the pedal and the throttle body. A computer glitch is the most likely culprit, hopefully they will fix the real problem, before someone else has to die.

[dhom100]

I read about that case in lexus es350. official report says that it was due to wrong size floormat. so it's not a mechanical problem. their cars have been reliable for decades. one or a few bad incident don't mean much in a larger context.

[TheHMobile]

I LOVE my 2010 Prius! It is so fun to drive and I feel great about not having to stop by the gas station every couple of weeks! What a time and money saver!!

[dimi699]

These Toyota Hybrids are quiet appealing to me... But Mercedes started the "smart key" idea...

[Kirke182]

I don't feel the slightest bit guilty for driving Toyotas and I don't pity the Big 3, A lot of good workers got screwed by their own bosses and so who is to blame for that?

[VinnyMartello]

It's Michael Moore on wheels!

[xXDirtySecretsXx]

that car is ugly

[cbielite]

Dude...there's a key IN that thing. Wow, now they really have thought of everything.

[autotraderuk]

LOL. thats a lot of information to lock that car.

[driftbuddy]

time to buy a chevy silverodo 3500 GAS and run over that pos long live gas guzzers

[Kirke182]

I drive nothing but Toyotas. They are the best car around--and my father is a retired Chrysler engineer. I really don't know how good their customer support is because I never needed it and I drove my last Toyota (Paseo) for 17 years. I have 2010 Prius now and I love it.

[VinnyMartello]

They are still made of Japanese steel...

[Epiccookie]

omg the narrator is KITT

[ooooeeeeooooeeee]

I love the Prius and can't wait until I can buy one myself. The smart key will just be so awesome. Just another thing to make my life a bit easier as well as save me tons of money on gas and help the world too.

[lemonlad7]

Wow! Toyota comes up with such advanced technology for today!

[scottstrike10]

not really lol this has been around for many yrs...and why are there no led headlights nor indicators....

[HelpSaveMotherEarth]

if they key battery is dead will it still start.

[mmz77]

Toyota sucks. Customer support is horrible and the company does not live by their known reputation! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

[MegaMaster456]

We have a Prius in Malaysia.Toyota is now the FIRST in customer support.(P.S:It is the third generation one)

[scottstrike10]

your right in one way and wrong in another.toyota was a good car before 2000 but from there on things changed....today in toyota the production line will not be stopped if there is a fault found on any part of the car as it would mean 300 workers would come to a stand still,instead the problem is let go and is fixed under warranty

[drydock265]

today Toyota claimed it's not making any money in North America lol is it the UAW's fault lol could it be legacy costs lol , could it be they make boring cars .....Ford beat Toyota in quaility according to same people who put Toyota in No 1 spot. I feeel sooooo bad for them.....not

[390merc65]

i heard the same thing , but how the hell does the uaw have any affect or how can toyota blame the uaw for not making any money in the US?...toyota doesnt have the uaw in any of there plants..so how can they blame it on that ?...

[Lieblingsuli]

Waiting ...

[MegaMaster456]

why?

[RaIphLauren]

why does this car have to be a hatchback? i hate hatchbacks

[J0n4th4nJu]

That's not the ugliest. It's actually not that bad.

[390merc65]

it is the ugliest....and it is that bad...what are people thinking today ....dam that is ugly next time i see one i think i will puke all over it ...yuk

[LEGOmyMEGHOE]

IT'S CALLED GETTING A NISSAN. ALL NEW NISSANS COME WITH SMART KEYS. you keep the key in your pocket at all times. and it's not so confusing. it just has buttons on the door handle.

I LOVE MY ALTIMA COUPE '09 :D

[nextbgates95]

Dear LEGOmyMEGHOE,

I'm glad you love your Altima.

However, not all new Nissans come with the Intelligent Key System. For example, the 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback model 1.8S does not.

Check your facts,

nextbgates95

[hybridlancer2004]

I have the ALTIMA HYBRID. Its smart key is very nice.. But Toyotas Smart key makes me jealous!!! Its just even smarter!!

[390merc65]

hahaha dude your funny..i nearly puked my beer threw my nose when i read your post ...you are sooo rite...god that thing is fugly ...i'm still laffin ..i guess i wood affend some yuppy if i pulled up next to someone in this car with my 77 ford f 150 and my gass guzzlin , air polutin american V8 stunk the shit out of them..

who in there rite mid wood want to be seen in this crappy jap piece of flimsy junk ..AMERICAN GASS GUZZLIN V8'S ROCK

[TheHumbleBeez]

I hope you're kidding.

[durrset2]

I honestly doubt you will find a "yuppy" [sic] anywhere in the vicinity of your trailer.

[p1on33r]

smart key is cool ... but prius is kinda ugly ... good that its eco friendly ...

[390merc65]

its not kinda ugly...its the roseanne bar of the car world...its extreamly fugly ..geeze that thing is bad...what the hell were they thinking when they made that ...its the rodney dangerfield of cars..it get's no respect ...AT ALL...and my 77 ford truck is eco freindly too..it squash's any and all the toyotas it can find...so its taking as many toyotas off the road as it can ..and it does all of this on 1 tank of gas?

[dontwalkhand]

Does your 77 ford truck park itself?

[390merc65]

oh please..dont even bring that shit up..no..it doesnt park itself ..but it does have park assist...its called [miriors]..i am not fat and lazy were i need something like this...if you cant park a car without this ,,then you dont need to drive ..its that simple ..i cant believe you need something like this ...and on a tiny car too..i hate to see if you had to park something big like a 59 mercury parklane

[jeffgorchynski]

what does a parking assist program have to do with you being fat?

It's a convenience feature. You don't bitch about other automated things in your life, do you?

[uoyuoy444]

Too expensive not worth it. I hope you never have to fix it!

[spooch88]

does that come with all priuses (or whatever the plural for pruis is)?

[ToyotaUSA]

Prius I, II, III have Smart Key (driver's door only) Prius IV and V has Smart Key (three door - driver, passenger and rear lift).

[allenhuffman]

What timing. I just did a Priuscast episode all about the Smart Key system.

So, if the battery is completely dead, you can get in with the mechanical key, but how do you start the car? It looks like the 2010 may not have the "dock" fob port?

[hause07]

well if the battery is dead it will not start anyways. I like how you can still get in the car though even if the battery is dead.

[allenhuffman]

(I meant the battery in the key fob, but it appears it contains some kind of RFID type passive device, so even if the battery is dead, the car can still "read" the key fob is it is close enough to the start button sensor.)

[hybridlancer2004]

I know what you mean. How would one be able to start it if theres no dock for the fob??

[lostn65]

There is a dock for the fob inside the car. You don't need it for higher models though. It senses the presence of the key and you don't have to insert it.

[hybridlancer2004]

I LOVE technology!!!LOL!
