How do I start a Toyota Highlander without a key?
I have a 2016 Highlander. I think the key fob battery is dead because I can’t get into or start the vehicle. It’s late at night, so I can’t even go to the store to get a battery. Is there any way I can start a Toyota without a key?

Sorry to hear about your issues with the key! In all likelihood, your
Toyota Highlander
key fob has a dead battery. But don’t stress! I’m happy to help you out.To start a Toyota Highlander without a key, just follow these instructions:
- Look for a button that says push on the side of the key fob.
- Push in on the button and pull the physical key out.
- The physical key will allow you to get inside the vehicle by unlocking the doors manually.
- You may notice at this point that the vehicle has no key slot for the ignition.
- However, if you take the key fob and place it directly on the push-button start while you press it in, the car will start without any issues.
Once you can get to a store, buy a CR2032 battery, which is the one used in almost all key fobs, including those for Toyotas.
In the amount of time it takes to get back into your car, did you know that you can save nearly $900 a year on car insurance by downloading the
