How often do you try to start your LC with the MODE SELECT button?

[LandCruiserJ]

For me, it’s Every. Single. Darn. Time.

From a UX standpoint, kind of weird how “hidden” the actual START button is. Takes some “groping in the dark."

Currently working on brain-reprogramming. Not going so well. How about you?

It is the first place my hand reaches for Every Time, but I haven't yet pressed it.
I never use that button anyway, other than in the first five mins in the car just to see what it did - otherwise I am a boring Eco mode user.

I wish there were more uses for the mode select dial, it's so well made and the clicks are very satisfying.

The start button is in the same spot as my other & previous Toyotas, and the same general area where keys have traditionally been inserted when there is no start button. No reprogramming required here!

Had to really think about what the OP was talking about… I have never pushed the Mode Select button to try to start the LC. Maybe it’s because I came from a truck that started with a key and the start button is in essentially the same place as the key hole…

 

[HammerTheWall]

None of those options...the start button is pretty much in the same place as the JLU I had so I don't even think about it.

Almost every time since my Grand Highlander has the ignition button in the same area. I also find myself still reaching for the column shifter when shifting into drive.

I had no idea what the OP was talking about at first. I was thinking he was saying there was a secret way to start the LC via the Mode Select button. I thought to myself....why in the hell would one want to do that?

In all seriousness, about 50 percent of the time, I go to start all vehicles from the left side of the steering wheel....Porsche 911 style.

I have never done this once. Now that it has been put out there it will be every time lol.

Love it. You are ruined for life!

Never, Taco is in the same place (kinda) so no adjustment was needed.

 

[Esquire]

I will say, if I don't adjust the volume on the steering wheel, there are a number of knobs that could work as a volume knob which I have nearly used....including the aviation styled air vents center knob.

 

[msenske]

I'm not going to lie...I've done this two (2) or three (3) times since getting the vehicle.

I hit the start button automatically but I noticed i ALWAYS roll down the rear window instead of the front window.

 

[DenisLM]

Zero.
Same place as my other/previous cars (4Runner, Chargers, Ram...)

Car is already started before I get in. Why not use remote start?

You still have to hit the start button to drive away.
