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 s\
ystem; 
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 Scion 
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 anyo\
ne 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 
Scion Customer Experience at (866) 707-2466.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caution
Do not start the engine in an enclosed area (such 
as a garage or indoor parking lot) where too much 
exhaust may accumulate and create a hazardous 
environment with potential for CO poisoning.
Caution
Do not start the engine if a child or pet are present in 
or near the vehicle. Interior power components such 
as windows and seats can accidentally be switched 
on and lead to injury.
Caution
Do not check the engine while it is still warm after  
being remotely started. Allow at least five minutes for 
the engine to cool to avoid being burned.
Caution
Do not start the engine near dry foliage, paper, or 
other flammable substances. The exhaust tube  
and emissions can create a fire hazard at high   
temperatures.
Caution
Do not use the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER from a 
distance where the vehicle cannot be seen. Children 
or small animals should not be near the vehicle.
-22
Caution
The general operating temperature of the REMOTE 
ENGINE STARTER under ideal conditions is above 
-22° F (-30° C). Due to multiple Vehicle Side vari -
ables, this operating temperature may fluctuate.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 
Caution
Always shut off components such as the windshield 
wipers and radio after parking. If left on, such compo -
nents may be damaged by remote engine start in ex -
tremely cold weather. Check that all vehicle windows 
are closed and all doors locked after parking.
Caution
Do not start the engine with the body cover still on the 
vehicle. The exhaust tube and emissions are capable 
of starting a fire at high temperatures.
Caution
Only use the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER when you 
intend to drive the vehicle; excessive engine starting 
consumes fuel and battery power.
Caution
To help reduce the risk of injury during engine service, 
the REMOTE ENGINE STARTER will not function 
while the hood is open.
Caution
REMOTE ENGINE STARTER cannot be initiated 
when Remote Air Conditioning / Solar Ventilation 
System is activated, and Remote Air Conditioning / 
Solar Ventilation System cannot be activated when 
REMOTE ENGINE STARTER is operational.
