TIL When using the full speed cruise and it gets to 0 for a few seconds with brake hold on, it says press cruise control or the accelerator to continue using.... but your supposed to press the + button not cruise control.

Also I stared at the sliding door buttons on the ceiling and they look backwards to me.

TIL (thanks to jseyfert3), that there are 3 possible views for the multimedia screen when in reverse. You can change the view by pressing the button in the lower right corner of the screen.

TIL you can open the tail cap of the wiper assembly, which then lets you lift up the rear wiper enough that it stays up by itself when changing the blade.

We have base LE and can confirm there is light in middle of ceiling in 3rd row and also one further back on hatch looking at cargo area. Not the very brightest though. Our other van [also base trim] from more then a decade ago has brighter lights and cost less then half vs Sienna.

Older van also has 2 12V outlets and our other vehicles have 3+ plus several USB outlets so not sure why Sienna only has 1 12V??

Maybe - they dont want you to drain the 12v battery when in "accessory mode".

Kind of defaulting to lowest denominator in that case.

We only use 12V when driving... no need for us otherwise.

TIL the wheel power display looks close to a GR yaris one. I guess it makes sense since they are both toyotas. been noticing the rear wheel power more now that we have snow.

Any idea what the spider web looking graphic is on that screen when in sport drive mode?

Then it should just be disabled if not driving.

We only really use 12V when operating our vehicles.

G force meter. Mine doesn’t do anything though? Maybe because of the snow warning

I considered the G force meter just didn't think of it being something people would drive in a way to want to know the g forces.

TIL that if you press the lock button twice the headlights turn off immediately instead of the waiting based on the time setting for shut off.

TIL:

1. TPMS seems to have active monitoring. What I mean is that when one of my tire started loosing air, it alerted me right away.

Long story: I started out with 36PSI cold. IIRC, it gets to 40-42PSI while driving. I got an alert around 34PSI to pull over and inspect tire. I.e. it wasn't just low tire pressure warning. It spelled out that front passenger tire needs to be looked at right away when it is safe to do so. This was helpful because I was able to slow down and drive to a gas station few miles down the road. Big part of tread was missing so I had to put on my spare (my 4th flat in as many months ).

2. Big brother is watching you. I got an email a day after from my local servicing dealer to get the TPMS alert looked at.

Long story: I put on my full size spare and continued to Myrtle beach still 300 miles away. This was around 5PM day before Thanksgiving. Everything was closed for Thanksgiving so the spare stayed on for couple of days. I suppose the alert stayed long enough for the dealership to make an effort to send me an email.

Btw, when I got my extended warranty couple of months back from Jerry, he was able to get my current mileage sitting far away in Hutchinson, KS. I have extended my remote connect and emergency connect. I suppose it could have been Service Connect too which is standard for first 3-4 years??

3. TPMS goes blank for all wheels if just one of the tire doesn't have a sensor.
Long story: TPMS went all blank when I put on my full size spare without a sensor. It stopped showing tire pressures on other 3 tires and just showed generic error/alert. I wonder if this is a bug or a feature.

4. General : Directional tires like Michelin cross climates 2(CC2) need to be on all 4 (or on same axle?).
Long story : I needed the flat tire replaced. CC2 seemed like a good idea based on notes around here and other places. I plan to do CC2 on all 4 when OEMs are used up. I have about 36K on OEMs. I drove to a far away NTB in Myrtle beach area that had our size CC2 in stock (Firestone was just a quarter mile away from where we were staying). NTB advisor told me right away that I can't do CC2 on just one tire. It would sound and drive horrible. My thinking was that may be I get one CC2 now and move it to full-size spare when I get all 4 CC2s down the road. ( I suppose I should have told him more about my situation over the phone before driving over there. Oh well, that's just me and this is not the first time )

Also looking at CC2s once Falkens wear to about 5/32". Think have about 8-9/32" currently. Less wear in cold country!!

There was a post a year or so ago where hybrid Sienna owner did not like the CC2s but in general have heard very good reviews about them.

Look at getting from Costco when they have like $100+ off sale plus warranty is pretty good.

I was tempted to switch out my all 4 OEMs with CC2s even though OEMs got another 20-25k miles left on them. My current streak of flats makes me wonder if tires themselves have anything to do with it.

Btw, NTB quoted me USD 1250 for all for installed. After $190 rebate, that's $1060. Not too bad. They also had some all season Aspen all 4 installed for 600, including road Hazzard etc. I was tempted for both of these but didn't have time to sit there for 3 hours since they were fully booked. I just left my busted tire with them and picked it up next day.

Timing matters. Most people fail first few tries, but nothing needs to be enabled. Just practice.

Press and release, count to 1, Press and release again, count to 1 again, then PRESSSSSSS and hold until front lights flash. Car will start a few seconds later.

Did anyone got this workimg on 2023 LE? I tried several times with the mentioned combination and for some reason it doesn't work. Does it need activated by the dealer now?

As stated in the post you quoted, nothing needs to be activated. No subscriptions required. Just takes practice. Getting the timing right is a pain in the ass

I don't think LE has remote start. Unless some hidden gem??

Thank you. Was not sure if something was changed on new siennas, last post was for 2021 siennas. I guesss I have tried every combination I could, I'll now have you convince myself that this doesn't exist or will figure out by fluke someday.

That explains it, thank you!

 

[Vanfam12345]

I’m not certain, but many owners with LE trim confirm they have it… perhaps only with plus package since it’s driven by the head unit
