Enhancing Pre-Drive Comfort Through Smart Connectivity
Returning to a pickup truck after an afternoon spent outdoors no longer means stepping into a stifling hot cabin. Eligible All-New Hilux owners can now utilize the Toyota Remote feature to turn the vehicle’s air conditioning on or off before even opening the door. Whether wrapping up a family weekend outing or prepping for the daily commute, drivers can easily cool down the interior ahead of time, ensuring a comfortable environment the moment the journey begins.
Real-Time Vehicle Monitoring and Security
The next-generation myToyota Connect system takes the guesswork out of vehicle security once parked. Through a dedicated smartphone interface, owners can instantly verify the status of their truck’s doors, windows, and headlights. If the nagging question of “Did I lock the car?” pops up while at an office meeting or dining at a restaurant, a quick mobile check provides immediate peace of mind. Users can secure or unlock the doors remotely without needing to physically walk back to the parking lot.
Locating the vehicle in crowded malls or busy parking areas is also simplified via GPS-based “Find My Car” tracking, which allows owners to remotely trigger the horn or flash the hazard lights when nearby.
For added security, geofence alerts notify owners if the vehicle moves outside a pre-set perimeter, while anti-theft notifications flag unauthorized cabin entry. In the unfortunate event of a suspected theft, customer support can assist with stolen vehicle tracking and remote immobilization. This immobilization feature acts as an assistant-guided security measure under specific terms, rather than an active function to halt a moving vehicle through the app.
Proactive Vehicle Care and Roadside Support
Through the platform’s e-Care system, automated vehicle health warnings keep owners informed the moment their Hilux requires maintenance or diagnostic attention. Having real-time vehicle health insights within arm’s reach makes it seamless to integrate routine vehicle care into a busy lifestyle.
Furthermore, drivers gain access to 24/7 customer care alongside round-the-clock roadside assistance, ensuring professional help is always available if an unexpected breakdown or mechanical issue interrupts a road trip. The app also features an integrated charging and fuel station map, making it highly efficient to map out refueling or recharging stops when navigating unfamiliar routes.
Rewarding Safe Driving Habits at Insurance Renewal
Connected vehicle ownership now opens up avenues for direct financial savings through Connected Toyota Insure (CTI)—a specialized “Pay-How-You-Drive” insurance model that evaluates mileage and real-time driving behavior. The truck’s built-in connected hardware monitors everyday driving habits, logging instances of sudden braking, rapid acceleration, and sharp cornering to generate a personalized Driving Score.
Set to launch soon through participating Toyota Insure partners, this program allows motorists to lower their insurance renewal premiums based on their safety metrics. Responsible drivers can qualify for savings of up to 25% specifically on the driving-related perils portion of their premium, calculated over an eight-month monitoring window. While individual savings vary and maximum discounts are subject to strict terms and conditions, owners are encouraged to consult their preferred Toyota dealership to verify their specific policy eligibility.
Comprehensive Ecosystem for the Toyota Lineup
While the advanced next-gen mTC and Toyota Remote capabilities are tailored for eligible All-New Hilux units, smart ecosystem benefits extend to a wider family of vehicles through the Basic myToyota Connect suite. This tier offers foundational features like Find My Car, geofencing alerts, and a digital Trip Recorder depending on the specific model. Owners of previous Hilux models, as well as the Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross, Camry, Innova Zenix, Hiace, Fortuner, Alphard, older RAV4 generations, Land Cruiser Prado, and the flagship Land Cruiser, can coordinate with their local dealerships to discover exactly which connected services their specific model variant supports.
“We want our customers to feel supported long after they drive home their Toyota. Next-Gen mTC featuring Toyota Remote helps eligible All-New Hilux owners prepare for a drive, check on their vehicle, and access assistance through their phone,” said Elijah Sue Marcial, Toyota Motor Philippines First Vice President for Vehicle Operations. “We encourage customers to download the myToyota App and Toyota Remote App and consult their preferred Toyota dealership about eligibility and available services.”
