You can navigate to your car with the support of other map/navigation applications (such as, Apple Maps, Google Maps, etc.) or share the location of your car via the installed messenger or email.

MY DESTINATIONS & SEND TO CAR

For eligible models equipped with a Toyota Smart Connect multimedia system, you can create your journey as you wish in the MyToyota app and then send it to the navigation system in your vehicle. You can set Home and Work as well as other “Favourite” destinations via MyToyota app.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

You will be able to book an appointment with your dealer. You remain responsible for maintaining and servicing your vehicle at the required intervals. The fact that we provide this service does not release you from that responsibility.

WARNING LIGHTS

The MyToyota app may alert you on certain warning signals that were displayed in your vehicle. These warning signals mirror, but do not replace, the warning lights displayed in your vehicle’s dashboard / combimeter. You as the driver are responsible to act on the warning lights in your vehicle at all time. If you consent to it, these warning signals will be communicated to the Toyota network to provide you with support and to assist you if a repair is needed.

Through the consent given to Toyota and MyToyota app, you will be given the possibility to decide whether you would like to be contacted or not. Please note that Toyota and the Toyota Network does not offer any guarantee as to contact you proactively in case of a Warning Light, as this service depends greatly on your region, availability and coverage. In case of a Warning Alert, please always follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual for specific guidance.

REMOTE CLIMATE CONTROL

Depending on the connected car device your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, you will be able to remotely pre-heat or pre-cool your vehicle via the MyToyota app. Based on your vehicle model, you may also be able to remotely set a desired temperature, start the defroster of your front or rear windshield, as well as set one or multiple schedule(s) for pre-heating or cooling of your car.

Prerequisites:

When using the Remote Control services, please ensure that:

  • The vehicle is fully immobilised, and you have checked the safety of the vehicle’s surroundings. Make sure there are no people or animals inside the vehicle.
  • The system is not operated if the bonnet is open or when the vehicle is parked indoors without ventilation.

  • Auto air conditioning
  • Start and stop system (automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine in a traffic jam or at red lights)

 

Disclaimers:

  • If the vehicle is equipped with an after sales remote immobiliser, the engine won't start therefore remote air conditioning will not work.
  • If the vehicle has been idle for over 9 days, the user might be required to push start from inside the vehicle. The onboard system automatically goes to sleep to protect the 12V battery.

REMOTE LOCK / UNLOCK

This feature enables you to remotely lock or unlock your vehicle through the MyToyota app with just a few clicks.

Please note that you will not be able to unlock or lock the car if:

  • Any of the doors are open
  • Physical key or mobile phone (in case of an activated Smart Digital Key) is inside the car
  • Car alarm is set
  • Car was locked with key

In all of these cases, attempting to unlock the doors will fail and an error message will be shown.

When using the lock feature, please make sure no children, vulnerable people or pets are locked inside the car unattended. This can lead to heatstroke, dehydration or hypothermia, which could result in death or serious injury.

Toyota will not be held liable for any material loss, damage or accidents while this vehicle is locked. The user assumes all risks and liability from locking this vehicle.

When using the unlock feature, please be aware that this could potentially lead to unauthorised access to the vehicle. Toyota will not be held liable for any material loss, damage or accidents while this vehicle is unlocked. The user assumes all risks and liability from unlocking this vehicle.

HAZARD LIGHTS

With the hazard lights feature you have a simple way to remotely locate your vehicle in a crowded car park. Hazard lights are activated for a duration of 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, you can initiate them again.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT

Depending on the connected car device your Electric vehicle or Plug-in Hybrid vehicle is equipped with Battery Management. You may be able to access a detailed state of charge for your vehicle - with battery level in percentage, range of the battery alone or coupled with fuel, and when AC is running or not.

Also, the minimum battery level will be shown for running on battery alone for Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. In your app, the remaining range is shown in kilometres (km), but this may vary from what is displayed in the car. It's essential to always check the battery indication on your Toyota vehicle's instrument panel.

HOMECHARGE

With HomeCharge you may be able to conveniently schedule the start and / or stop of your charge to, for instance, match the off-peak electricity price or when no other electronic devices are running simultaneously in your home. You will be able to set one single time that will repeat every day or select multiple times on different days.
