I ask 2 Rav4 owner with smart keys and they have thesame problem. all cars are supposed to lock doors automatically once you start or shift gear from park to drive as protection for all drivers, but this Rav4 with smart keys does not automatically lock! if other cars can lock why not for Rav4? I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS SMART KEY OR PUSH BUTTON START!!!! I think Toyota is just experimenting!!!!

#7 of 9 2011 Smart key issue by lanehalli

Apr 24, 2012 (2:48 pm)

Yesterday the car was driven home and parked in park. The car then would not work. The keys showed up as missing when trying to start the car. It was towed to the shop, but it had to be taken out of park and rolled to make room for the tow truck. The car was then put into park again and still the smart key did not work. The car was taken to a dealership and lo and behold the key started working as soon as it was off the tow truck. The techs ran a test and stated the reason it did not start is because the computer says the car was in gear 3. Clearly it was not, but they say the car is fine. Has anybody else had this problem?

By the way the car is a 4cylinder Rav4 Limited. Another thing I just thought to add is that their was dealership added remote start.

#9 of 9 Smart Key Blinking Red LED by memike2

I've searched and searched the RAV4 manual but I can't find any reference to the red LED on the top left face of the Smart Key. All I can tell you is that the LED flashes when I press the Start/Stop button. Oh, and the car won't start, either.
