The Remote Engine Starter allows you to start your engine from outside the vehicle. It utilizes
your vehicle’s keyless entry remote, so there is no need to carry around an extra remote. The
Remote Engine Starter is operated the same way for vehicles equipped with or without the
Smart Entry / Push Start system; simply push the remote’s LOCK button in a quick, two-step
sequence. In addition, the Remote Engine Starter can activate the heater or air conditioner,
providing you with a comfortable cabin upon entry. As an added convenience, the Remote
Engine Starter can also activate the defroster (when preset) to clear up the windshield during
cold weather.
To ensure your safety, and the safety of anyone near the vehicle, the Remote Engine Starter
is designed to shut the engine off when it detects any attempt to enter or move the vehicle
after a remote engine start. Please consult your Toyota dealer for more details.
NOTE: To utilize the Remote Engine Starter, your vehicle must have an automatic transmis-
sion; it cannot be used for manual transmission models. The transmission range for remote
start may be shorter than the remote’s basic keyless entry operation. Range can also be
affected by the surrounding environment. Laws in some communities require that the vehicle
be within view of anyone using the Remote Engine Starter. In some states, use of the Remote
Engine Starter may violate state or local laws. Before using the Remote Engine Starter, check
your state and local laws.

Experience at (800) 331-4331.
