(SE) 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, 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 SE to be disabled. To enable it again, press the button under the steering-wheel.
Key-Fob Battery
That small key inside the key-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 (CR2032).
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 SE/SS system has just locked the
Prius. This ability prevents the need for you to ever touch the SE/SS 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).
(SS) 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.
Key-Fob Battery
When the key-fob battery wears out due to excessive age, you can still start the hybrid system
without replacing the battery (CR2032). Just insert the key-fob into the dashboard-slot manually.
It will get sensed that way, even though the remote ability is not available.
