I drop my sons off at school and day care, and when I drop my first son off, I’d like to leave the car running with the AC. Is it possible to lock the doors while the car is running?
The fob doesn’t lock the doors and if I use the switch on the door it will automatically unlock.
Couldn’t find anything online that helped. Is it possible to do this?

Leave with keyfob, and then start it with Toyota app, it will run locked.
Or would it also work with remote start on the key fob ?
I haven’t been able to get the remote start to work with the fob but I’ll try again
Most of thr time it is because you are taking too long between button presses....it has to be quick.
Yep:)
Or Lock - Lock - Lock and hold if you don't have the app. Make sure HVAC is in auto.
I roll down driver side window reach in hit the door lock button then roll up the window. Keep the key fob on you. Then to open the van take the tiny key out of the fob and use it to unlock the van. Van will stay running up to an hour before shutting off
You didn't say how old the 2nd child is but I'll give you words of caution.
We have 4 kids. Same situation as you when dropping off depending on situation.
Well my wife did what you described one day taking in our 5 year old and leaving the 7 year old in the car. A police noticed and said he would let my wife pass but if he saw her doing that again he would report her to DCFS.
So it's so difficult to know where the line is when it's safe to leave them for us! Each state has different laws and each person has different perception.
I wish you safety and clear judgment in deciding how to handle yours!

Can your second child reach the door switch? I'm assuming if you're leaving him in the car alone to drop the first off then yes. If so, close your door and have the child that is still in the car lock via the switch on one of the doors.
Otherwise the only way is to use the either the physical key, or the second key fob.
OP, press the lock button on the fob. Hold on the third press and it function as a “remote” start while the vehicle is locked.
Use the physical key to lock. I believe you will have to use the physical key to unlock afterwards.
This is the way
I will have to try this out
