Modern Toyota vehicles have a wide range of incredible features, including features that you can use remotely. One thing you can do with 2024 Toyota models is start them remotely, so let’s look at how Toyota Remote Start works.
Activating Remote Connect
You have to have Remote Connect enabled for remote start to work. To do that, download the Toyota app on your smartphone, then enroll in the trial subscription that’s complementary when you purchase select Toyota vehicles.
How to Use Toyota Remote Start
Starting your vehicle remotely is easy. All you need is your key fob and a Toyota vehicle equipped with Remote Connect. First, click the LOCK button on your key fob, then press it a second time within one second. Now, press down the LOCK button and hold it in this position for three seconds. Once you’ve done that, your car should start.
What Are Some of the Other Features of Remote Connect?
Guest Driver Alerts
If you have other drivers in your family, or if you’ll be letting your friends borrow your car, then you’ll benefit from the Guest Driver Alerts feature. This feature sends you a notification if the person driving your car changes one of your pre-settings.
Reminder Notifications
If there’s something that you need to be reminded about, then your Toyota app will send you a notification regarding it. It can let you know that the doors are unlocked, there’s a door open, the hatch/trunk is open, the hood is open, and the windows are open. This will help you make sure to close and lock all the windows and doors when you get out of the car.
Vehicle Status Alerts
Vehicle status alerts work similarly to the reminder notifications. After you switch off your vehicle, your car will send you a notification for things about your vehicle, like the door locks, trunk, hood, and windows.
Remote Commands
Remote commands are really convenient and work similarly to Remote Start. Remote commands allow you to activate your headlights, sound the horn, lock and unlock the doors, turn your vehicle on and off, and more.
