How to Remote Start a Toyota Highlander
To remote start a Toyota Highlander, you can follow these general steps:
1. Ensure that your Highlander is equipped with remote start capabilities. Keyless entry and start button functionality is included on all 2021 and later Highlanders, including the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

– Press and release the LOCK button twice within two seconds on the key fob.
– Then press and hold the LOCK button for three seconds on the key fob.
– The turn signal lights will flash multiple times, indicating that the engine has started.
– Once started remotely, the engine will run for 10 minutes and then shut down automatically.
It’s important to note that there may be laws in some states regarding car idling with no passenger or driver inside to protect the environment. Some states have time limits on how long you can keep the engine running, so it’s advisable to check with your local state laws before using the remote start feature on your Toyota Highlander.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that aftermarket remote start kits could potentially invalidate your automotive warranty, so it’s recommended to consult with a Toyota dealership or authorized service center for more information.
Please keep in mind that these instructions are general and may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Toyota Highlander. It’s always best to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a Toyota dealership for detailed instructions tailored to your vehicle.
