Lower All Windows Instantly If your car did not come with manual windows, most modern vehicles let you lower all windows and sunroofs at once by pressing a single button on the key fob. It's a convenient feature however some drivers might find it annoying when it happens in public.

Locks all doors All doors that have push-button starting have a hidden feature in their key fobs. This feature allows owners to lock doors simply by pressing the button. This feature is designed to keep owners from losing their keys in their car when the battery of the key fob fails or the key fob is disconnected from the vehicle. The button is usually not marked and the driver must know how to use it.
Key Fob Has Mechanical Key Inside: Some key fobs contain a traditional metal key that can be used to open the door of the car's driver in case of a dead or malfunctioning remote. The key can be accessed by pressing and holding the unlock button on the fob or at times, pulling a small tab near the unlock button. This key is usually stored on a lanyard attached to the fob so it's easily accessible in an emergency.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's important to read the owner's manual and find out what your fob's buttons do. Also, be on the lookout for the quick reference guide to your car that often includes highlights from the main owner's manual. If you do ever have to replace your key fob's battery, be sure to note down what you did when you removed the circuit board so that you can locate the correct replacement quickly in Lakeland.
Keyless Entry System
Modern cars come with keyless entry systems. They let you start your car and then open the doors by pressing the button on your key fob. These systems are designed to offer drivers security, safety and convenience. There are some issues that you should be aware of prior to buying one.
Contrary to conventional keys that require physical inserting into the lock to unlock the car keysless entry systems operate by being able to detect your proximity to the door handle. Once the system detects your key fob, it will open the door and also activate the locks. Certain kinds of keyless entry systems even allow you to use a smartphone to operate them, so you don't need to even remember to bring your keys along with you.
The system will usually indicate that it has not locked or locked the vehicle using flashing lights or an audio (other than the horn) or the horn. The horn or sound will chirp four times if all doors are locked. It could also chirp a single time to indicate that the power reargate or trunk has been unlocked.
Certain keyless entry systems include an electronic backup system that opens the doors if the fob battery is damaged or the vehicle does not function properly. This backup will help you save money and time if your keyless system breaks or fails. You should also consider getting comprehensive car insurance to pay for the replacement cost of a lost or stolen keyless system.

A single mistake could cause your car to start, or even stop working, increasing the chance of carbon monoxide inhalation. Make sure that your car is secured before you leave it. Never leave a keyfob close to the spot where you park. If you happen to leave your car running or leave your key fob in the car, you should call an auto repair shop right away.
Remote Start
Many car manufacturers offer remote starting as an option feature that can be installed by the factory on certain models. These systems use the existing key fob to relay commands to the control module, which can remotely start the engine and activate other systems inside the cabin such as air conditioning and defroster. These systems can be controlled using the infotainment system or an app for smartphones that is compatible with it.
These systems are especially useful when the weather is hot or you're at work and do not have time to start your car before you leave for home. There are some things to consider before buying a remote starter system for your Toyota.
One important thing to be aware of is that when you start your car and then leave it idle, the engine will automatically shut down after a predetermined period of time. This is to keep the car from running out of fuel which could cause carbon monoxide poisoning in enclosed areas like a garage. The majority of RES systems also have a number of other safety features. For example, many of them lock the doors automatically when the RES is in use and only allow the person with an active fob to access the vehicle. Some set a timer that makes the vehicle run for a specific amount of time and then shut off if the key fob isn't in the ignition. This will help to stop someone from driving your vehicle without your permission.
A remote start system's cost and compatibility with the Toyota key fob are also important considerations to make.
