Toyota employed remote access to deactivate the pre-heating function, utilised for warming the vehicles before to operation. Drivers would activate it 10 minutes prior to travel to ensure their vehicle is heated and free of ice.

This function remains accessible for all fully electric and plug-in hybrid automobiles. This is effective for vehicles with conventional drive only when the combustion engine is operational.

The legislator deems this a superfluous operation of the engine or an avoidable emission of exhaust gases, which is forbidden. This is not well recognised by many users. In Europe, there exists no standardised legal framework, as indicated by a relevant notification in the application.

To safeguard the vehicle operator from penalties, we have disabled the function on these vehicles.
