Introduction
The REMOTE ENGINE STARTER allows you to start your engine from outside the vehicle.
It utilizes your vehicle’s keyless entry remote, so there is no need to carry around an extra
remote. The REMOTE ENGINE STARTER is operated the same way for vehicles equipped
with or without the Smart Entry / Push Start system; simply push the remote’s LOCK button
in a quick, two step sequence. In addition, the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER can activate
the heater or air conditioner according to your preset temperature controls, providing you
with a comfortable cabin upon entry. As an added convenience, the REMOTE ENGINE
STARTER can also activate the defroster (when preset) to clear up the windshield during
cold weather.
To ensure your safety, and the safety of anyone near the vehicle, the REMOTE ENGINE
STARTER is designed to shut the engine off when it detects any attempt to enter or move
the vehicle after a remote engine start. Please consult your Lexus dealer for more details.
NOTE:
To utilize the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER, your vehicle must have an automatic
transmission; it cannot be used for manual transmission models. The transmission range for
remote start may be shorter than the remote’s basic keyless entry operation. Range can also
be affected by the surrounding environment. Laws in some communities require that the
vehicle be within view of anyone using the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER. In some states,
use of the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER may violate state or local laws. Before using the
REMOTE ENGINE STARTER, check your state and local laws.
For any questions or concerns about the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER, please call Lexus
Customer Relations at (800)255-3987.
