Key Fobs
Key fobs today go far beyond the basics of locking and unlocking doors or remote start of a vehicle. They have so many additional functions that the owners may not even realize the additional functions, and that's causing problems for certain drivers. Here are a few examples of:
Lower All Windows at Once If your car did not come with manual windows, most modern vehicles let you lower all the windows and sunroofs at once by pressing a button on the fob of your key. It's a convenient feature, but some drivers may find it annoying when it's happening in public. The auto editor at CR discovered this in the most painful way when she got out of her Honda Accord one morning and discovered that all the windows were open.
Locks all doors All doors that have push-button starting include a hidden feature within their key fobs that allows owners to lock the doors by pressing the button. This is a security feature that is designed to stop owners from putting their keys in their vehicle in the event that the key fob battery dies or if it's somehow disconnected from the car. The button is often not labeled and the driver must be aware of how to use it.
Key Fob with a Mechanical Key Certain key fobs come with traditional locks made of metal that can be used in the case of a malfunctioning or dead remote. By pressing and holding the unlock button on the fob's key or pulling a small tab on the side of the unlocking button can be used to open the key. This key is typically stored on a lanyard that is attached to the fob so it's easy to access in the event of an emergency.
It is essential to go through the owner's manual and know what each button on your fob does. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the quick reference guide to your car that often includes highlights from the main owner's manual. In the event that you ever need to replace the battery in your key fob ensure you note down the steps you take to remove the circuit board so you can find the right replacement quickly in Lakeland.
Keyless Entry System
Modern cars are equipped with keyless entry systems. They allow you to start your car and open the doors by pressing an icon on the key fob. These systems are designed to provide drivers safety, security, and convenience. They have a few problems that you must be aware of prior to purchasing one.
Keyless entry systems detect the proximity of the door handle to the lock. This is different from traditional keys that have to be physically inserted in order to unlock the vehicle. When the system determines that your key fob is near enough, it will activate the locks and unlock the door for you. Certain kinds of keyless entry systems even allow you to use your smart phone to operate them, so that you don't have to remember to bring your keys with you.
The system typically indicates that it has unlocked or locked the car using flashing lights or an audio (other than the horn) or the horn. A typical setup will include the horn or another sound chirp twice in order to signal that the driver's door is unlocked, and four times to signal that all doors are locked. It may also chirp once to indicate that the trunk or power tailgate has been opened.
Some keyless entry systems include mechanical backups that open the doors in the event that the fob battery fails or the vehicle isn't functioning properly. Having this kind of backup can save you money and time if your keyless entry system fails or fails. It's also a good idea to get comprehensive insurance for your vehicle that covers the cost of replacing your lost or stolen keyless entry system.
It is essential to are aware of how to use your keyless entry system and ignition system. A small error can cause your car to start or even shut off, thereby increasing the chance of inhaling carbon monoxide. Always check that your car is locked before you leave it. Never leave a keyfob near the location where you park. If you accidentally leave your vehicle running or your keyfob in it you must contact an auto repair shop right away.
Remote Start
Many car manufacturers offer remote starting as an option factory installed feature on certain models. These systems make use of the existing key fob to transmit commands to a control module that can remotely start the engine as well as activate other systems inside the cabin which include air conditioning and defroster. Those systems can also be activated using the vehicle's infotainment screen or a smartphone app compatible with it.
These systems are particularly beneficial in hot weather or when you're stuck at work late and don't have the time to start your vehicle before leaving for home. But, there are a few things you should keep in mind before purchasing a remote-start system for your Toyota.
One important thing to be aware of is that if you remotely start your vehicle and then leave it idle the engine will be automatically shut down after a predetermined period of time. This is to prevent the car from running out of fuel, which could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning in enclosed spaces like garages. There are other safety features offered in many RES systems too. Many of them, for instance, lock the doors automatically once the RES is engaged. Only the owner with an active key fob can enter the vehicle. Some even set a timer to allow the motor to start and then stop if the fob isn't in the ignition, which can stop someone from driving the car off without your knowledge.
A remote start system's cost and compatibility with your Toyota key fob are also important aspects to take into consideration. Certain manufacturers, like Ford offers remote starter options via a subscription service while others require you to purchase a special key fob that can be used for this.
