Practice English Speaking&Listening with: 2007 - 2009 Highlander How-To: Remote Engine Starter | Toyota

The available remote engine starter feature

enables you to start your vehicle

and engage preset temperature settings

from outside your vehicle.

It is operating using your remote keyless entry transmitter

and, under most conditions, has an open air range

of approximately 80 feet.

To use the remote engine starter,

make sure the shift lever is in Park

and the key is not in the ignition.

Check to see that the doors and hood

are securely closed.

If any are ajar, the system will not operate.

Also, the system will not operate

if the brake pedal is depressed.

To start the engine, just press and release

the lock button twice within two seconds.

The hazard lights will flash each time

you press the button.

Then press and hold the button for three seconds.

The hazard lights will flash once

when you press the button, then once again

after three seconds.

Once the engine starts, the hazard lights

will flash for 20 seconds.

Once it's started, if the engine is left running

in Park for 10 minutes, it will automatically shut off.

There are two ways to turn the engine off

using the remote engine starter.

To turn the engine off and unlock the doors,

press the unlock button.

The engine will turn off, the hazard lights

will flash twice, and you will hear two beeps.

To turn the engine off and lock the doors,

press and hold the lock button for two or more seconds.

The engine will turn off, the hazard lights

will flash once, and you will hear a single beep.

for additional details.
