How to Use Camry's Remote Start?
2 Answers
To use the Camry's remote start function, press the lock button, then immediately press and hold the remote engine start button. The principle of remote start is that the vehicle starts the engine via signals from the remote key, eliminating the inconvenience of manually entering the vehicle to operate. While the engine is running, the central locking system remains in the locked state, providing effective security. Taking the Camry 2021 2.0E Elite Edition as an example: its dimensions are 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm.
I usually drive a Camry, and its remote start is super practical! First, make sure the car is locked, then use the key or the mobile app to operate. There's usually an engine icon button on the key—press the lock button once, then immediately hold down the start button for a few seconds, and the car's engine will start. If you're using the Toyota app, log in, select vehicle control, and tap the remote start icon. Remember, the car can't have any doors left ajar or the alarm on, otherwise, it won't start. I love using it in winter to warm up the car in advance, turning on the heater so I don’t shiver when getting in. It’s the same in summer—starting the AC to cool down before entering, making it feel like VIP treatment. This feature is perfect for busy commuters, saving warm-up time and protecting the engine. But don’t leave it running too long; it usually shuts off automatically to prevent wasting fuel or accidents. It’s best to operate in open spaces to avoid disturbing others. For new cars, check the manual to see if it’s supported; older models might need an additional module.
