I picked up my RAV 4 in the height of COVID. The dealer basically handed me the keys and told me to have fun. You just showed me 3 things about the RAV that I didn't know I had. Thanks!
@Okie Foodie King if you have a cargocover to cover your cargo on the back, so nobody can see it. It can be removed and stored where the spare tire is. Lift up were the spare tire is an you can see the fittings where it goes and clips it. Put the cover back over spare tire and all it good. Basically, you would want to store the cargo cover when backed seats are down for more room.
@@TRDOffRoad2020 After I lifted the spare tire cover I had to lift up the little side panels, one on each side, to be able to slide that cargo cover in. At first I was like what the heck?? because I couldn’t get the cargo cover in. I forgot to lift those first.
One disagreement: I don’t know of anyone who likes the on off engine feature. It is horrible! Thank goodness there’s an on off button. But you have to remember to push it every time the car is started.
If you want to use conventional cruise control instead of radar, just hold the cruise control on button down for a couple of seconds until the icon changes then you have the conventional cruise control too. I accidentally found that out on my 2015 Camry. My 2019 RAV4 had it and my 2021 Highlander has that too.
I cannot thank you enough for this video! Hopefully picking my car up tomorrow. I use it for work, travelling 3 hours away every week, and don’t have the time to go over a manual. This video highlights all the things I need as a frequent traveller. Thank you!!
I'm with you on the unable to read manual. back in the 70's 80's the manuals were mear pages, I've only managed to completely read up on one item in my rav4 prime XLE the "rear view mirror", (7) SEVEN pages what the heck.
Loving my RAV4 XLE 2019 its a pleasure to drive. I was stuck in very slow moving traffic and it just kept moving forward and stopping by itlsef. Amazing tech
I drive cars the old school way, don't really use the new gadgets and gizmos they include, I'm afraid I'll break something 😅. However i just bought a 2023 Rav4 and am absolutely loving it. Navigation and Collision Avoidance features are awesome.
Do you use the back up camera? I met through an accident a guy who did not use his BU cam and he put the skeg of my outboard through his camera when he backed into me while I was at a pump. An easily avoided accident, no damage to my boat but it sure messed up his trunk lid.
DUDE!!!! We bought a 22 RAV limited and I’ve been trying desperately to figure out how to dim down the main computer screen at night. Thank you!!!!!!! P.S. the Canadian ‘22 RAV 4 limited removed the auto start/stop button. It just doesn’t work, the vehicle always stays on.
Top 3 to me are : lane assistance, auto high beams and adaptative cruise control. Last one is a saver if you do a lots of road and I do about 30k km/year..
I agree with guy who talked about the stop/start button, I absolutely can not stand it. I’m glad there is the option to turn it off. It has become routine after I start the car I turn it off. And as far as the gas mileage saving of 0.000000 gallons of gas is BS. Not mention where and tear on your starter and let’s not forget the wear on the battery. I bought my wife a 2020 XLE Premium new and love our car. In our almost 45 years of marriage I have wanted to by her a nice car, preferably a new one since we only ever had one other new vehicle. It fits us both just perfect.
I meant the wear and tear on the battery because we have the push button start with the premium package, it takes a special battery, it’s more expensive, that’s the special part.
Thank you! Just got one and Im still learning! you showed me things I didnt know! The book is pretty thick and can be confusing, so it was great to "see" things and how they work! I couldnt figure out how to turn my brights on! LOL
I use almost all of those features and love them. My 2020 RAV4 lease just came due and I bought the car! One feature that I'm not too keen about is the LED Headlights. You can't swap out better lightbulbs. There are no lightbulbs. You've got LED chips. If one dies you will probably half to change the entire assembly. Check the cost. You won't like it.
That’s terrible. Never knew that ! I also do not like that it doesn’t come with LED lights inside. I had to change out all those lights to make it bright on the inside and I love it ! I got another video about that. U should check it out ! Congrats on owning a RAV4!
I have a 2017 RAV4 Platinum and just figured out I have remote start. I have owned my vehicle for 2 years and have been going out in the cold to start warming up my vehicle. I didn’t know about the back floor deck being able to flip over. I’m a fellow okie and just found you yesterday looking up ways to modify my RAV4.
Hey my friend so glad u stopped by! Check out my other video for 9 simple cheap mods. It’s has 142K views and good ideas 👍🏼 So cool u are an Okie also ! Can u subscribe? I would greatly appreciate it ! I am going to be making more RAV4 videos this summer u will want to see
Did you know that by holding down the cruise button on your steering wheel, you can turn adaptive cruise off, and run with normal cruise control. Never would have known that had the sales rep not shown me. 2019 RAV4 LE.
Great video!,I alway"s appreciate any help with technology,I"m 64 & very lo-tech.Traded in my 1996 gmc sonoma last Easter with 200,000 miles,4 cyl. still ran great,everything else was severly rusting.Bought a 2012 Rav 4,V6,89,000miles.I love this thing!,best vehicle I ever owned,it"s quick! I"m still learning about all the features,being a limited edition it has most all of them.Having owned a 1985 Toyota pick up,5 spd,22r,4 cyl. 4whl. drive,I know Toyotas are great,back then,rust was a real problem,love the vid!
Good to hear thank you for watching ! U are going to love the RAV4! Even after three years I love mine more now than ever! Especially after making Mods to my RAV4!
Knew about the features except the rear floor - I too have the rubber mat. - LTA is a pain if you live in an area where lines are not well maintained. It works, then doesn't work. Not good if you rely on it. Centering can sometimes bounce you back and forth as well. - Adaptive cruise is great - I actually use it quite a bit - but occasionally find myself behind someone doing 5-10 mph under my set point and don't notice that right away, until I see a whole lot of cars passing me. :) Thanks for the video, though!
Oh man what a pain trying to use LTA with no lines. What a waste. Glad u could learn something new from my video ! Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it ! Adaptive Cruise is amazing on long trips !
Lta can suck if going through construction too. Turn it off before you get to the construction area so you don't have to look for a button on a steering wheel!
LTA just sucks everywhere! It's a gimmick just like almost every other assistance feature on the Rav4. The only worthwhile feature on the Rav4 is adaptive speed control. Auto headlights is buggy as hell, lane keep assist will make sure you crash, and auto braking will get you rear ended
One more thing about the back part of the car, we have the rubber piece like in the video, $100 extra bucks, but what I have noticed is that you have to be careful how you load the back up, what I mean is that if you put heavier items in the middle of the back, it has a tendency to have the piece under the rubber mat to spread the area where the carpeted piece sits. So my plan is to use the rubber mat as a template and cut out a 1/2” piece of plywood and sandwich it between the carpeted piece and the rubber mat. I’m hoping this will fix the issue. I have ask the dealer about this and showed them what it does and they have no clue what to do
Thanks for this, we are picking up a 2020 Rav4 in a couple of days. We already have a number of the features on our Toyota Yaris. With the auto main beam dipping, on the Yaris you don't need to turn the light control to main beam. It does that automatically when you press the switch. The only thing I don't like about the auto braking if you get too close to the car in front, is that it brings the brake lights on every time, which could be annoying for drivers behind.
Just got a new rav 4 hybrid and getting ready to try it on a road trip, thank you for that video, it was really helpful. BTW, I’m also in OK and impatiently waiting for the cooler months to come, this heat is unbelievable
Hello my fello Okie ! Congrats on the new RAV4 Hybrid ! You are going to love it ! I just got new All Terrain tires and slapping them on Saturday! Can’t wait !
Hello thank you so much I just brought a RAV4 2021 on Friday, October 13, 2023. You helped me out so much today because I’m trying to learn the car thank you and keep the videos coming.😊♥️
Thanks for watching ! Please subscribe and I will be putting out more videos. Check out my other RAV4 videos on mods and all things Rav4! U are going to love it !
Far better fuel economy and no noise at slow speeds. Bought mine new..the extra $3K cost for the hybrid paid for itself in 6 months of driving.@@okiefoodieking
Great info...love it.. Its lot easier than flipping through the manual 😃 Thank you BTW I really love that smart Cruise control.. man I was able to drive all the way to the beach which was like a couple of hours without using the break/gas paddle too often.
@@dont_talk2me when I drove from PA to Canada. Over the highway speeds, basically go with the traffic I was getting 27 and sometimes 29 between fuel stops. Here where I live with a lot of stop signs I can get low 19mpg just a couple mile drives.
Just bought a RAV4 Hybrid XLE, didn't know about varing the car lengths on the adaptive cruise control, gonna reduce to maybe 1 or 2 bars, mine was set at 3 by default.
This is such a helpful video. I’m looking into getting a RAV4 XSE and was worried I wouldn’t understand the new features. Automatic cruise control looks like the best one.
@@okiefoodiekingI’ve had my Rav hybrid since 2022 I still don’t trust the adaptive cruise control and have my foot resting on the brake 😂. But to be fair I haven’t done much long freeway driving.
I was recovering from a right knee injury when I got my 2020 Rav4. I could only drive for 15 minutes before getting cramps, the adaptive cruise control allowed me to drive for an hour without issue. It works down to 20 mph in town too.
Great Video. I think the bars on the adaptive cruise control represent how many seconds will pass before you will be where the vehicle in front of you currently is. 1-3 seconds.
@@okiefoodieking Then the dealership didn't read the manual. It is stated there (at least in my language version), that at the speed of 80 km/h the distance with 3 bars is about 50 m, with 2 bars about 40 m and with 1 bar about 30 m. The distance will change in relation to the speed. E.g. with double the speed the distance will double too.
My lane centering wasn’t working - turns out it wasn’t on. Yes, the LTA was active - but unless you turn lane CENTERING on - it won’t auto-center/auto-drive. To turn it on (or off) you have to go into your car settings, and under LTA you can go into extended settings. But yeah - not all cars come with it on by default!
The 2019 didn't have the added noise insulation and it is a noisy car. All Rav4s made after 2019 have it and are much quieter. The noise you are hearing is the direct injectors.
I have the LTA on a 2020 Corolla. It can be a bit confused when you come to an exit and the fog lines disappear or if the fog lines are in bad need of repainting.
I have 2019 RAV4 XSE. The automatic headlights are not ideal on deeply curvy mountain roads here in the Sierra Nevada. Sometimes they never turn the brights off. Other times they switch back and forth so much that the cars in front of me think I'm flashing them! Lol! Generally they are awesome. LTA not recommended here either! On gentle highway curves it's great though! Love my Rav!
Just got a 2021 Rav4 xle and didn't know about these features. Great video! I just started receiving the communication module activation failed message and can't find anything to tell me why this is happening.
How can I change to digital display on 2019 RAV4 LE, when it is not listed as an option in settings? When I initially purchased the car the speed displayed in digital mode.
I had no idea about the 3 bars on the cruise control! I'm always frustrated because it leaves such a large gap and people cut in front of me causing my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid to quickly slow down. Thanks!
@@okiefoodieking it will be my 1st new car I've ever had. I'm very thankful & humbled to be able to purchase a new car. It will start being built on the 26th. Supposed to be done next month. Guess what color I chose?
@@okiefoodieking It comes on on every car start. It's not Toyota's fault, the govt forces everybody to have this button, by demanding unreasonable fuel economy. Also, I think, this means the A/C is now driven by an electric motor.
So I have a 2023 rav4 xle and I'm curious if it's a good idea to use the ACC going down hill? It seems like it uses engine breaking as well as the breaks but I don't know if I should trust the system fully to not just ride the brakes. It's hard to tell, might just be better to manually downshift the car to use more engine breaking then breaks and if needed manually break
I have a 23 Rav4 Trail and I use the ACC uphill and down while towing a boat, or not and it works just fine. I had a 2020 and a 2019 before this, no newbie to the vehicle. PS. Where I live you are either going uphill or downhill.
I just bought a 2921 RAV4 but I can’t find a compass anywhere. Can you tell me if there’s a hidden one somewhere in the car? On my old Subaru Forester it was in the rear view mirror.
Cruise control is so important in Australia because speed limit is strictly enforced. If the road said 60kph and you go 66, the well warned but numerous speed cameras will help you to correct your driving habits with some steep fine. I basically keep the cruise control on all time as long as I am above 40kph so I do not have to glance at the speedo every few seconds.
@@okiefoodieking dont worry. by law they will tell you where exactly the cameras are... you don't have to worry about an undercover police car pulling you over. all you have to do is to pay super careful for the speed camera signs, which are everywhere, if you really really want to speed.
The on/off feature should be something that you have to turn on not something you have to turn off. For a company that has the reputation of having the smartest engineers and personnel, they messed up on this.
I don't like the " shimmy jolt " when the auto off is engaged . It feels like something is maladjusted ! I was told it saves a wee bit of gas ⛽ , don't care , don't use it . I bought a new Rav 4 2024 XLE Premium and everything is wonderful in my opinion . I was pleasantly surprised by how many people smile and wave now when I'm driving.. like a cult classic 😅😅
the steering is not desinged for "auto pilot", it is just for driving assist, the system does not allow the driver to hand free for a bit of time, lane tracking is a safty just in case
I know this and don’t drive like that. I was just showing u the safety feature if u have it on and have a distracted moment for a second it will help u out
Super helpful instructions! I recently purchased a new Camry. First new car in 10 years. Massive tech changes to learn😮. The dang owners manual is like a college textbook so watching your video jump started me to dig into the details and enjoy my car.
First off I'm 70 and have had my 2021 rav4 prime XLE , and know exactly your feelings, the sales man showed me one thing "how to turn it on". the book with it reads like gobbledi-gook, too much. so i've been watching a lot of these vids. like how to preset open height for tailgate. any way i call it a "Rolling Computer" i believe there is at least 7of them.
Is the rubber mat in the back supposed to be included with the weather package? I paid extra for the weather package mats but I don’t have a mat in the trunk?

If you have a cargo cover, you can remove it and it stores where the spare tire is. There are slots for it to fit it.
Wait what are u talking about ?

Not all models have this though
One disagreement: I don’t know of anyone who likes the on off engine feature. It is horrible! Thank goodness there’s an on off button. But you have to remember to push it every time the car is started.
Hahaha m my wife hates this feature !!! Lol. I think one u turn it in ur stats on and once u turn it off it stays off at least for me
Agreed. That is very annoying.
Featured on VW’s too, chews through starter motors, ‘Piece of S***’! Mechanic’s polite assessment
I wonder how to permanently kill it.

My 2020 Canadian Rav doesn’t do that either.
I just bought my wife a 2021 Toyota Rav4! She loves it! I love it too. Its a fun SUV to drive for sure!
"RAV4" is the acronym of Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel-drive. And the 4 stands for Adventure
Lovely fellowship with spouse, priceless

Thanks for this video. I plan to pickup my 2020 Rav4 hybrid tomorrow. What I learned here relly helps!
Wow u are lucky. I wish I had a hybrid !
Far better fuel economy and no noise at slow speeds. Bought mine new..the extra $3K cost for the hybrid paid for itself in 6 months of driving.@@okiefoodieking
Yes I knew about them all and love them all. It took me awhile to get use to most of them but grew to love them all.
Thanks for watching !
If you don’t want your auto stop/start to restart the car roughly, press the brake pedal more and it will be extremely smooth.
Great content! I didn’t know you can set the distance between cars when on adaptive cruise control and that it will slow down automatically. Thanks
Thank u I appreciate it !! Please subscribe
The only useful feature on the car.......
yoo I own a 2022 xle and did not know about the lane tracing assistance definitely going to try it on road trips! thnx for the tips !
Thanks I appreciate it! It’s amazing on road trips as is the adaptive cruise control
Lane keep assist is a death trap! Don't use it unless you want to die!
God bless you! Heated fellowship! Never heard that before!
Hahaha it can happen ! :)
Feature I found through a near miss,
RAV 4 stopped before I rear ended the car in front.
I don’t recommend you try this please.
So u don’t like this feature ?
@@okiefoodieking I like and I think it’s a great safety feature
Thanks from Sydney Aus. I am getting a new RAV4 in few wks time. This is really helpful.
Glad it could help affirm your pick of a RAV4! They are awesome! Congrats !
Great info...love it.. Its lot easier than flipping through the manual 😃 Thank you BTW I really love that smart Cruise control.. man I was able to drive all the way to the beach which was like a couple of hours without using the break/gas paddle too often.
Man isn’t that a great feeling ?!? It’s awesome !
I have a 2017 xle. I will take a look if my trunk liner can get any lower. The two inches might be a big storage saver.
I really like it and it adds a lot of space
How much mpg ypu getting. I hve 2017 xle but feel my mpg is lower
@@dont_talk2me when I drove from PA to Canada. Over the highway speeds, basically go with the traffic I was getting 27 and sometimes 29 between fuel stops. Here where I live with a lot of stop signs I can get low 19mpg just a couple mile drives.
I did not know about a couple of those things. I appreciate the guidance😊
So glad u could learn a couple
Of things !!!

Just bought a RAV4 Hybrid XLE, didn't know about varing the car lengths on the adaptive cruise control, gonna reduce to maybe 1 or 2 bars, mine was set at 3 by default.
Yeah I do the same ! I lowered mine and it’s much better !
This is such a helpful video. I’m looking into getting a RAV4 XSE and was worried I wouldn’t understand the new features. Automatic cruise control looks like the best one.
It’s probably my favorite feature as well! It’s awesome for road trips. My foot hardly ever touched the gas
@@okiefoodiekingI’ve had my Rav hybrid since 2022 I still don’t trust the adaptive cruise control and have my foot resting on the brake 😂. But to be fair I haven’t done much long freeway driving.
I was recovering from a right knee injury when I got my 2020 Rav4. I could only drive for 15 minutes before getting cramps, the adaptive cruise control allowed me to drive for an hour without issue. It works down to 20 mph in town too.
Great Video. I think the bars on the adaptive cruise control represent how many seconds will pass before you will be where the vehicle in front of you currently is. 1-3 seconds.
I never heard of that. That’s interesting. I was just going by what the dealership said about it
@@okiefoodieking Then the dealership didn't read the manual. It is stated there (at least in my language version), that at the speed of 80 km/h the distance with 3 bars is about 50 m, with 2 bars about 40 m and with 1 bar about 30 m. The distance will change in relation to the speed. E.g. with double the speed the distance will double too.
The dealer told me I represents car lengths. It’ll keep, 1,2 or 3 car lengths from the person infront of you it’s a very cool feature I love it
I was told it was car lengths as well. I've never adjusted mine. Three bars works totally fine on the highway.
My lane centering wasn’t working - turns out it wasn’t on. Yes, the LTA was active - but unless you turn lane CENTERING on - it won’t auto-center/auto-drive. To turn it on (or off) you have to go into your car settings, and under LTA you can go into extended settings. But yeah - not all cars come with it on by default!
Yo this guys doing a great demo while also driving like noones looking
I love my 2019 Rav 4 safety features for the win!
Absolutely! I love my 2020 Rav4
Does your 2019 make a knocking noise 25 seconds after a cold start?
The 2019 didn't have the added noise insulation and it is a noisy car. All Rav4s made after 2019 have it and are much quieter. The noise you are hearing is the direct injectors.
My wife has a 2019 Rav4 XLE and I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime. There is a night and day difference in cabin noise
@@pbear216 didn't bother me, If I want a quieter car id buy an EV
Good and very helpful video, thank you sir !
I have the LTA on a 2020 Corolla. It can be a bit confused when you come to an exit and the fog lines disappear or if the fog lines are in bad need of repainting.
Thanks. This was very helpful.
You bet! So glad this video is helping people !
I didn't know or hear about these features specifically about the autopilot and steading features and self driving type of function.
It’s pretty cool. But it doesn’t last too long
I have 2019 RAV4 XSE. The automatic headlights are not ideal on deeply curvy mountain roads here in the Sierra Nevada. Sometimes they never turn the brights off. Other times they switch back and forth so much that the cars in front of me think I'm flashing them! Lol! Generally they are awesome. LTA not recommended here either! On gentle highway curves it's great though! Love my Rav!
Yeah LTA is great for straighter roads for sure. I usually only use it when I am on a road trip
I'm looking to buy a used 2020 or 2021 Rav. This was very informative.
Good deal ! U will love it.
Great explanations for the RAV4
Thank you ! I appreciate it !
You had the right signal on when you changed to the left lane!
You win 🥇 u found one of the hidden things in the video 😃
@@okiefoodieking Cool, really? How many more are there????
Awesome job you did, thanks bro
Thank you ! Glad to help !
Great information! Thank you!
U bet ! Follow me for more videos
I have those in my Rav 4 I love the features
They are awesome 👏 Especially on roads trips !
Just got a 2021 Rav4 xle and didn't know about these features. Great video! I just started receiving the communication module activation failed message and can't find anything to tell me why this is happening.
Thank u! Welcome to the club ! I have never seen that message before
How can I change to digital display on 2019 RAV4 LE, when it is not listed as an option in settings? When I initially purchased the car the speed displayed in digital mode.
Thanks for sharing
U bet !!
Dude thank for the video I didn’t know about the auto high beam I though that was only for high end cars 😅
Hahaha not so fast my friend! We got em ! I love it on my LE ! Great feature
@@okiefoodieking thank you for replying back. 😂🤣 yes you are right, cannot wait to travel and try it out. Will subscribe to see more videos from you.
can i do it on my xle rav4 2020 the automatic highbeam?
I had no idea about the 3 bars on the cruise control! I'm always frustrated because it leaves such a large gap and people cut in front of me causing my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid to quickly slow down. Thanks!
You bet ! It will make a difference !
When this happens, do the brake lights come on?
I'm late to find your channel, but all the same, I'm an Okie whom appreciates this episode.
I always love when an Okie stops by ! Please subscribe and glad I could help !
Mine is due to arrive to. dealer June 15 or so. Thanks for info. 2024 RAV4 XLE.
Thank you. I am getting a XLE and I cannot wait!
Lucky!!! I am jealous!!!
@@okiefoodieking it will be my 1st new car I've ever had. I'm very thankful & humbled to be able to purchase a new car. It will start being built on the 26th. Supposed to be done next month. Guess what color I chose?
@@reflections.with.rhonda9269
Curious! What color?
@@girijanair348 magnetic gray. The production date was 4/27/2023 & I just received a call from my dealer this morning & my car is ready! Yay
@@okiefoodieking i just got mine Thursday. I love it and super excited! Thanks for making this video.
Hello Foodie King can you change/Upgrade the headlight unit of the 2022 Rav4 XLE on your LE? If yes can you make a video? Thanks!
I am not sure u can do that or not I will check into that
That "auto start/stop" is gonna wear out the starter.
I try to turn it off but it keeps coming on
@@okiefoodieking It comes on on every car start. It's not Toyota's fault, the govt forces everybody to have this button, by demanding unreasonable fuel economy. Also, I think, this means the A/C is now driven by an electric motor.
Good tips thank you👍
U bet !
So I have a 2023 rav4 xle and I'm curious if it's a good idea to use the ACC going down hill? It seems like it uses engine breaking as well as the breaks but I don't know if I should trust the system fully to not just ride the brakes. It's hard to tell, might just be better to manually downshift the car to use more engine breaking then breaks and if needed manually break
I have a 23 Rav4 Trail and I use the ACC uphill and down while towing a boat, or not and it works just fine. I had a 2020 and a 2019 before this, no newbie to the vehicle. PS. Where I live you are either going uphill or downhill.
We have 2022 great csr use adaptive feature excellent
I completely agree !
Thank you
Okie Foodie King - what is brand and model of your black alloy rims? Wondering if these are available in Europe.
They are KMC708. I got them at discount tire. Love the way they look ! Hope u can find them !
#1. Topgun. 🇯🇵
Great movie
I just bought a 2921 RAV4 but I can’t find a compass anywhere. Can you tell me if there’s a hidden one somewhere in the car? On my old Subaru Forester it was in the rear view mirror.
I am not sure we have a compass. 🧭 but I will double check on that
Thank you ❤
Look Ma, No hands 😂😂😂❤
Thanks for the tips and video!
Hahaha u betcha ! Glad u liked it! Be looking for new videos this summer. Go ahead and subscribe!
I have a 2024 and my car play is always acting up!! Plus sometimes I hear a loud noise when I break!
That is weird I would take it back to the dealership
My rav4 make a move when eco start automatically what I can do for deactivate eco
Cruise control is so important in Australia because speed limit is strictly enforced. If the road said 60kph and you go 66, the well warned but numerous speed cameras will help you to correct your driving habits with some steep fine. I basically keep the cruise control on all time as long as I am above 40kph so I do not have to glance at the speedo every few seconds.
Oh man that sounds like it is super strict over there. I don’t like that they have cameras everywhere and fine you. 😮
@@okiefoodieking dont worry. by law they will tell you where exactly the cameras are... you don't have to worry about an undercover police car pulling you over. all you have to do is to pay super careful for the speed camera signs, which are everywhere, if you really really want to speed.
Thank you for the video I have 2019 XLE premium I don’t have # 2 I don’t think I need that automatic start
Thank u for watching my video that means a lot!
The on/off feature should be something that you have to turn on not something you have to turn off. For a company that has the reputation of having the smartest engineers and personnel, they messed up on this.
very informa tive ......................thanks
Thanks for watching ! Please subscribe:)
Yeah brother them featers are sweet my dad just got the2023 rave 4 prime
Dang pro ! I bet that is super nice !
I don't like the " shimmy jolt " when the auto off is engaged . It feels like something is maladjusted ! I was told it saves a wee bit of gas ⛽ , don't care , don't use it . I bought a new Rav 4 2024 XLE Premium and everything is wonderful in my opinion . I was pleasantly surprised by how many people smile and wave now when I'm driving.. like a cult classic 😅😅
My wife doesn’t like it much either
I have a 2017 but i was amazed at the back area i took it out and its reversible😮 also de dimmers i knew of them but the push part, awesome thanks!👋🏻
Thanks for watching ! Yeah all those things are a win !
the steering is not desinged for "auto pilot", it is just for driving assist, the system does not allow the driver to hand free for a bit of time, lane tracking is a safty just in case
I know this and don’t drive like that. I was just showing u the safety feature if u have it on and have a distracted moment for a second it will help u out
Super helpful instructions! I recently purchased a new Camry. First new car in 10 years. Massive tech changes to learn😮. The dang owners manual is like a college textbook so watching your video jump started me to dig into the details and enjoy my car.
Glad u found this helpful! U are going to love your RAV4 and it’s much easier the. U think! :)
First off I'm 70 and have had my 2021 rav4 prime XLE , and know exactly your feelings, the sales man showed me one thing "how to turn it on". the book with it reads like gobbledi-gook, too much. so i've been watching a lot of these vids. like how to preset open height for tailgate. any way i call it a "Rolling Computer" i believe there is at least 7of them.
Thanks bruv
You bet !
Thank you
How to turn the screen as blue light ?
Like your car
I have another video you can check out that tells how I installed them. Super easy
28.6 is my average mpg in Arizona 🙂 I wondered about the high beam button, using it now
Somebody has a lead foot............. our 2109 gas Rav4 averages 34 mpg. In my Prime, I'm averaging 63 mpg though.
My brand new 2024 hybrid rav4 speedometer is not calibrated and two dealers refuse to calibrate / repair it. Any Thoughts?
I have a video about that. I show you how to do that. Look for that video on my videos :)
The Grand Rav4 looks really nice
Thank you for stopping by
Is the rubber mat in the back supposed to be included with the weather package? I paid extra for the weather package mats but I don’t have a mat in the trunk?
Mine didn’t come with one. I had to ask for it when I purchased it. And and I am so glad I did. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference
