The method for remote starting the Land Cruiser: First press the lock button, then press the button with the circular arrow symbol to start the engine. When using remote start, the exterior lights will flash as a reminder, and the engine will idle for 10 minutes. After this period, if the brake pedal is not pressed and the ignition switch is not activated, the engine will shut off. Performing the remote start operation again within the 10-minute window can extend the idle time by another 10 minutes, and upon successful extension, the exterior lights will flash 6 times as a notification. The Land Cruiser's body dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1905mm in width, and 1830mm in height. It is equipped with a powerful Toyota dual VVi 4.0L V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission.
I recently used the remote start feature on my Land Cruiser and found it quite practical. The basic operation is simple: ensure the vehicle is parked in an open area with all doors locked. Take out the key fob, first press the lock button to confirm the vehicle is locked, then quickly press the start button (usually the circular arrow icon) twice in succession. Wait a few seconds, and you'll hear the engine roar to life or see the lights flash indicating success. If there's no response, the key fob battery might be dead or you're out of range (typically 10-20 meters). This feature is especially useful in winter for preheating the cabin, avoiding that initial chill when you get in, and in summer for precooling the air conditioning so it's comfortable right away. Just remember not to use it in enclosed spaces like garages to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. It's also wise to check the key fob battery regularly to avoid any last-minute hiccups.
