Can the Avalon be started remotely?
2 Answers
The Avalon does not come with remote start across all trim levels. Here is the relevant information: 1. Fatigue Driving Alert: The fatigue driving alert is a driver fatigue monitoring and warning system based on the driver's physiological response characteristics. If the Avalon were equipped with this feature, it would use the owner's facial features, eye signals, and head movements to determine their fatigue state, then issue an alert and take appropriate measures, providing the Avalon owner with proactive and intelligent safety protection. 2. One-Touch Start Location: The Toyota Avalon's one-touch start button is located at the lower left corner of the center console screen. The owner can start the vehicle directly by carrying the key.
I've been driving a Toyota Avalon for a while, and many of the newer models come with remote start functionality, such as the high-end versions after 2020. It can be operated via the key fob or a mobile app—just press a button to pre-warm or pre-cool the car. In winter, you don’t have to endure the cold while waiting for the car to warm up, and in summer, it’s much cooler when you get in. This feature requires the Remote Connect service, and some models require an annual subscription fee. The effective range should not exceed 50 meters, and it’s safest in open areas. It saves time and protects the battery by avoiding excessive start-up wear. Once you’ve actually used it, you’ll realize how convenient it is—it’s designed with the owner’s convenience in mind, but avoid frequent use to save fuel.
