We found the only guy who actually read the car manual! Great video !

HOW TO CHANGE DOOR UNLOCK SETTING. 2016 Highlander Limited (will work for all 3rd generation 2014-2019). When grabbing handle of door default mode is to unlock only the driver's door for safety reasons. I have three kids and want ALL doors to unlock when I grab the handle. PROCEDURE: Standing outside of vehicle hold down both the "lock" and "unlock" buttons on the key FOB for 10 seconds until you hear the beep. Now all doors will unlock when the door handle is grabbed. To change back to only open driver's side door just repeat the process. Also, you can double click the unlock on the key FOB to open all doors but I prefer to keep the FOB in my pocket and just grab door handle. Hope this helps, thanks!

I’m in the dealership right now, and was asking about these items, rep didn’t know what they were, so a quick KZfaq search found this video and we both learned. Thx!

This was extremely helpful! Thank you very much, I look forward to viewing hopefully more videos like this! Can you include, turning on and off power mode vs eco mode; steering wheel buttons/functions?

thanks for the tips. I just got my 2018 Highlander yesterday and is trying to figure out some of the controls. These tips are awesome especially the hatch height. THANK YOU!

super cool. 5 year old video, but i just bought a 2017 HL, and these tips are super helpful!!!

Just bought a Highlander. And you're right, the dealer did NOT go over these features. Thanks!!!

We bought the 2019 XLE AWD. a few days ago. This the second time I have watched both videos on tips. Thank you.

15 more secrets and power user tips: 1. You can open the rear glass by pressing the small black button on the tailgate to release and hook your hand just under the wiper and voila easy access to the back 2. The rear seats have sun visors that pull up from the bottom of the window 3. There is a privacy screen that mounts in the cargo area. It is stored under the flap in the cargo floor. If your is already up you can store it there. 4. You can ask your dealer to change the fob settings to automatically roll down the windows and open the sun roof if you press and hold the door open button for 5 seconds. (I actually went in and had this option turned on, they hooked up a laptop to do it). Great on a hot day to release the hot air from the cabin. 5. There is a power plug 120 VAC in the console storage area between the front seats. 6. You can turn off lane warnings with the button on the wheel, right hand cluster. 7. If you want a little extra jump when you step on the gas you can turn on sport mode. Using the centre screen in the gauge cluster select settings and find eco mode. You can change it to “power” mode and get more acceleration. This will automatically change back to eco mode when you turn the car off 8. You can program your maintenance reminders and even enter your dealer so it can present the number when it’s time to get service. Go to the entertainment screen, apps, maintenance and look for dealer setup 9. Some vehicles have driver settings on the door where you can save your seat position. If you have it there will be a 1 and 2 button on the drivers door and a selector next tot them. Sadly, I didn’t get this option so when my wife moves the seat up I can’t get in until I move the seat back again. 10. You can customize the home screen of the infotainment system to have four quick access buttons to dial your favourite contacts with one touch. This is a must have. 11. When outside the car, touching the inside of your door handle will unlock the doors, assuming you have the fob with you. Touching the double groove on the top of the handle will lock the doors. 12. You can change the dash brightness using the small twist knob just under the speedometer 13. You can disable engine auto stop from turning off the engine at red lights by pressing the auto stop off button on the dash drivers side by the door lower down 14. You can have the car automatically switch on and off the brights as oncoming cars go by. This feature can be turned on and off using the button on the drivers side dash near the door. It has a headlight symbol. (Not all models) 15. The cargo area on XLE has plastic moulded on it to prevent spills from getting on the carpeting. I have an SE that doesn’t come with that (just carpet) so I bought a WeatherTech®️ custom mat for about $150 www.weathertech.ca/en/toyota/2018/highlander/cargo-liner/

Super helpful info. Thanks!!

Great Video. Thanks.

Thanks Good information for my 2017 Highlander

Great tips! Very helpful...

Thank you for the tips

You can disable the intelligent cruise by holding in the cruise button for a couple seconds when turning it on. Makes it a normal cruise control without the distance sensors.

Thank you. Good job. Very helpful.

Thank you! Very useful!

Great Tips Buddy.👍Thank You.

I just bought a Highlander this weekend and every single one of these features I did not know! thank you!

Very informative video great job man thanks for sharing. I love the second one

I just got my 16 highlander yesterday. The encyclopedia it came with is a bit War and Peace. Thank you for making this video for people like me that just cant sit as long as needed to read THAT manual

This is so cool!! Thanks!!!

You can adjust the height of the rear hatch to any height you want by opening the hatch, stop the hatch at the desired height then hold down the hatch down button on the hatch itself for 2 seconds. Now every time you open the hatch it will open to that height.

Two more for you: The rear hatch also has an emergency release on the inside near the bottom. Helpful if you store your jumper cables in the cargo area and your battery is dead. Also, if you want to keep listening to the radio after you've parked your car, shift to Neutral instead of park before turning the car off. The radio will stay on without interruption.

It was amazing knowing those tips thank you very much didn’t know anything about those tips people at the dealership where I bought my Highlander were helpless God bless

I read through the entire owners manual and still missed a couple of these 😅 thanks!

Thanks, great instructor, stuff I would’ve never known.

fantastic!!!!! Thank you very much.

Great video. Thank u

Thank you so much for sharing

thanks, very helpful

Love the highlander.....need it in RHD tho. Appreciate the tips

Well done, useful video. Thanks!

Great Video! Thanks!!!

Great video, thanks this helped me

I like it thank for the info

Awesome 👍😎

This is awesome. I knew about the rear door setting but not the lock and I knew about the trap door for the fuel filler door. One thing I’d like to add is for those with a push button start key fob. The key fob is constantly “ looking for “ a signal from the vehicle so key fob battery life can be increased by holing down the lock button on the fob and pressing the unlock button and releasing it. This puts the fob into low power mode increasing battery life but also making the key fob harder for a thief to “ tune into “. You can tell the fob is in low power mode because after holding the lock button down and pressing and releasing the unlock button the little red light on the key fob will blink 4 times. Just remember that when you go to your vehicle and attempt to enter by using the door handle sensor it won’t work so you must reset the fob to full power by pressing a button first.

Din knew about rear hatch setting. Thq.

Amazing !

awesome..this video helps. tyvm❤️

Thank you!

Thanks.

great information can you tell me if there is an over speed warning system anywhere in the navigator thanks in advance

Thank you

The valet feature is nice except fold down the backseat and have full access to hatch area we own a 08 limited and 2013 platinum

@3:25 Vehicle tab in the menu doesn't shown if car is not running on my 2017.

This was awesome! Thank you!!!

Does the USB connecting device to the media center have enough amp to charge the big smart phone at the same time?

2017 Highlander - I would like to change the default to keep running rather than having to push the start/stop button each time I start the car. I would also like a digital speedometer to show in the center information display. My 2015 Camry allows this feature but not 2017 Highlander.

I love the adaptive cruise control especially because it increases your fuel consumption my smacking 30%. Congratulations Toyota.

#1 (about the rear hatch) all this does it turn off automatic opening and closing of the hatch. You would have to manually pull it up. My dealer showed me this. It does not prevent the door from opening.

Hi, I need some tips on how to utilize both my bluetooth while utilizing FM radio. I want to use my Waze app through the bluetooth while playing my fm radio.

I’ve had mine for 3 weeks and this is very helpful. Thanks!!

Thanks,

THANKS

Cuz the valet guy can't reach over the seats...........................

I have a 2018 Highlander. just recently the backup camera warning beep quit working, along with the outside mirror's quit detecting cars in my blind spots? Did I just hit a button somewhere in the car? Any ideas?

Any way to turn off the GPS entirely like turning off location on your phone?

Nice tips..thanks for it... can you do video on details settings of 2017 Highlander Limited edition

I found out today that pushing the mute button on the steering wheel twice quickly will turn on the radio on my Highlander Limited. ( The one with all the bells and whistles like the full sun roof etc.) It does not turn it off though. Oh and changing the volume will cancel the mute.

The 2020 is going to be totally revamped supposed to look amazing. Waiting for it

Anyone have any tips or tricks for improving the entune system? It's terrible at recognizing voice commands .

Hey what phone mount are you using for your Highlander?

cool!

You can turn off the Adaptive Cruse Control and just have regular (normal) Cruse Control by holding the button, on the lever, in for a few seconds when you turn it on.

How do I adjust my headlights? They don’t seem very bright and the right side is much brighter. I has a 10% under hood with L and R but nothing on adjusting

I've got a 2014 model. How do I turn off the trunk door beeping noise.

Hi, could someone please tell me if you would be able to display and use google maps from your android phone to the car's display if the phone is hooked up through USB? Thanks, Tony

whats the fuel type for 2017 highlander limited?

Get roof rack bars option and rear hitch to have more options with limited cargo space when 3rd row is used. If Toyota hasn't fixed the problem: expect to replace driver side power lock motor around 3 years.

Does the 2018 highlander come with a spare tire???

The lock switch in glove box only turns off the power hatch. It can still be lifted manually.

Thanks , i has 2019 that the same ?

I have a 2017 Highlander Hybrid. From the get go, I shut-off the lane departure feature as the sensor detects tar lines from sealing road cracks parallel to the direction of travel.
