Hidden Modes and Functions of the Toyota Smart Key Remote

In this video, we will explore some hidden modes and functions of the Toyota smart key remote. The remote emits sound signals when approaching the vehicle, even while wearing gloves.

Pressing the lock and unlock buttons together for a few seconds will unlock all doors simultaneously. If the door is slightly ajar, pressing the button will trigger a continuous sound to alert you of this anomaly.

If a key fob is left inside, the vehicle will not lock and will emit a continuous sound to indicate an issue. The key fob contains an emergency key, which can be released by pressing the button with a key symbol.

This key is used to open the driver's door in an emergency or the boot; turning it to the right will open the windows and sunroof. Turning it the opposite way will close these components.

If the remote battery is low, you can still start the vehicle in an emergency by holding the remote against the start button. There is also a battery-saving mode: by pressing both buttons, the device will neither emit nor receive signals until buttons are pressed.

Additionally, you can set the remote to the driver's seat position you normally use, which is very useful if two people share the vehicle. Other functionalities must be set from the infotainment system, such as how long you want the car to remain unlocked before the doors automatically lock.
