These are five hidden secrets of the Toyota Alphard. Let me know how many of these you knew about in the comments. Hopefully this will have been useful for you.
These five secrets may not be apparent to you even though you have had the car for a long time. How bizarre.

Also for people that don't know (it works on mine) if you hold the key remote lock button it puts the windows up and if you hold the unlock button it puts the windows down.

Thank you so much Stewart. You would be surprised as to how many people who own the vehicles don't realise these "secrets".

The lap belts are only used when the seats are reversed, ie, pointing to the rear of the vehicle. In this condition, having lap belts is far safer than seating pointing forwards with standard belts. This is because there is no forward body inertia in the event of a (more usual) front collision, that being taken up by the seat backs. I always suggest that my grandchildren travel with the seats facing backwards, its safer!

Lap belts in the middle rows work when facing forward in the series 10 preface lift

@@Cuttothechase why would you not need chest belts facing forward?

@Channel7331 safer. Later models have 3 full belts .

Thanks for this video. Do you know how to get the sliding doors to fully open? My right door fully opens but the left door half opens. Is there a setting or button? 👍🏽

@Cuttothechase 2 жыл бұрын

The door will half open if it believes the window is not closed or if it believes the petrol cap is open. I would investigate those areas.

Do you still have the vehicle? I'd be interested to know where the child seat tethering hook is that you mentioned. My 2012 model has Isofix but I couldn't find a tethering hook even though the manual mentions one! Had to get a mechanic to drill into the floor :(

Have a look for it on the back if the seat under a plastic panel.it may be concealed.

Do you know if there’s a way to turn off the powered sliding doors, so they are manually operated only, like on a VW Transporter?

@Cuttothechase 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. There is a button on the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel normally. You will see it there. I think there is a video on the alphard dashboard in this channel.

Conference seating was dropped in 2008 onwards.

Correct . It is only available prefacelift. It’s a great option.

@@Cuttothechase its a shame really because we have just been for a test drive in a 2009 with lounge middle seats and was hoping for the best of both worlds. The head unit is our biggest concern as we were told by the seller that after market ones dont seem to last long???

@Cuttothechase 9 ай бұрын

@merlin1346 the biggest concern you should have is buying a genuine Toyota. Avoid any vehicle that fails the checks that in talk about in the other videos. You can put in a pioneer head unit etc from the Uk.
