Press the brake pedal of the Toyota Prado to prepare for turning on the vehicle's power. Press the one-touch start button of the Toyota Prado. The dashboard of the Toyota Prado lights up, and the vehicle's power is turned on. Press the 2ND START button on the Toyota Prado's control panel to turn off this function.
Speaking of Toyota's automatic start-stop system, which you referred to as 2nd start, I have quite a bit of experience with it. After driving for so many years, I find it quite annoying every time I encounter it, especially during traffic jams or short stops. To turn it off, look for the button—it's usually located below the steering wheel on the left side or near the instrument panel, often marked with a small green arrow and the words 'A Off.' Press it to disable the system. Note that this feature is designed to save fuel by automatically shutting off and restarting the engine when idle. However, if you frequently drive in the city, turning it off can reduce vibrations and noise, making the ride smoother. Keep in mind that it defaults to 'on' every time you start the car, so you'll need to press the button again to disable it. If you can't find the button, check the manual or ask at the dealership for its location based on your model. Overall, this feature is useful but not for everyone—disabling it can make driving much more comfortable.
