Vehicles with new technology can be very exciting but also overwhelming if you’re not familiar with how to operate innovations like Toyota’s smart key/push start button system. Here are a few tips to help you get started. Once you’ve got these under your belt, you’ll be a pro at using the smart key.
Easily Find Your Key
Keep the smart key with you at all times and in a convenient place so that you can easily unlock your car’s doors. It doesn’t matter where you keep it, though. It can be in your pocket, purse, or bag. To know whether the car has sensed the key or not, courtesy lights inside the car should turn on if the car has indeed sensed the key.
Easily Unlock Your Vehicle
To unlock the door, simply touch the inside surface of the front door handle. You’ll know that the door has been unlocked when you hear the beeping sounds that will ensue. Touch the two grooves on the front door handle’s top to lock the door. The trunk will unlock when you push the trunk button.
Easily Start Your Vehicle
To start your car, the Smart Key should be in the car and the shifter in PARK. Remember you placed your key in a pocket, purse, or bag. Push down on the brake and press the push start button. To switch off the engine, put the vehicle in PARK and push the button again.
The Smart Key and push start button are easy and convenient features to use. You just have to get into the habit of using them correctly.
