RAV4.5 Remote Climate?

I’ve got a model year 2021 RAV4 Hybrid (production date 14.10.2020) RAV4 Hybrid, UK spec.  I’ve been told I should have Remote Climate, but the MyToyota app doesn’t have it.  Can anyone confirm that my car should be capable of Remote Climate?

Many thanks.

Hi Raymond,No the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid with a production date of October 14, 2020, likely does not have Remote Climate functionality. This feature is only available on the 2022 and newer RAV4 models, or the RAV4 Prime XLE and Limited trims.Toyota restricts Remote Climate Control to specific trims and model years.The Information from Toyota's support website confirms that the Remote Climate Control feature is only available on 2022 and later models.

There are discussions on forums where other 2021 RAV4 Hybrid owners have inquired about Remote Climate and found out it wasn't available for their model RAV4.5 Remote Climate.

Although your RAV4 Hybrid can be remotely started, it won't allow you to adjust the climate control settings beforehand. The climate control will likely default to the last setting.Hope this helps.

Thanks Bper, I haven’t been able to remote start either.  I guess the information I received about MY2021 having remote start was incorrect.  A shame really, but it is a good car.  Thanks for your help.
