Using a compatible smartphone with the Toyota app, Remote Connect lets you control select features of your vehicle. • Lock and unlock doors • Start vehicle • Find your vehicle in a parking lot • Monitor guest drivers • View Vehicle Status notifications Smartwatch can also be used as a companion to a compatible smartphone using Toyota app.
However, the app may sometimes not show the remote start due to technical and server-related issues. Toyota is notorious for server glitches. If you know that your RAV4 comes with a remote start feature, we suggest you wait at least one day. If the issue is related to the Toyota cloud server, it will get fixed within a few hours.
A Plug-In Hybrid vehicle like the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid , has all the benefits of being a Hybrid, but also has the benefits of extended Electric Vehicle (EV) driving thanks to a dedicated EV battery. As the name suggests you plug-in to charge up the second electric motor. The EV battery is fully charged in approximately 2 hours.Connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle’s battery. Connect the other end of the black cable to some shiny metal in the engine bay of the Yaris hybrid, eg. the engine mounting on the front left side as you look at the engine Yaris hybrid. Again, see image above. Wait a few seconds, then crank the rescue vehicle
Then when you want the car to start you’ll have an extra switch to turn on in order for the starter to crank. This doesn’t solve your problem and if the ignition is turned “on” by itself the car won’t run. The battery will run down, but at least you won’t be wasting gas. Cougar July 1, 2009, 2:27pm 9.
