[@danielthegardenwarrior3825]

On rare occasions you come across a video like this that makes you feel guilty watching it because you should be paying for the priviledge of watching it. This is one of those. The dealership where I purchased my RAV4 did not even know half of the features that are covered here. And they are covered well. Great job and thank you for this. I will be watching this many times.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏼 enjoy your new car!

[@chemoose]

You have NO idea how helpful this was! I'm a visual learner and the manual was just overwhelming. Thanks so much!

[@brianruperti]

Glad it helped!

[@vlaney21]

Brian, thank you SO MUCH! I just bought my RAV 4 yesterday and the salesperson didn't go over anything with me except help me help set up the toyota app. I had about 6 booklets with tiny diagrams and type, so I found your video which REALLY helped me understand all of the buttons. Thank you so much! Really, really helpful! And now I don't feel like I need to go through all of those manuals!

[@brianruperti]

Hey thanks for writing to me I’m so happy this helped! Your comment made my day : )

[@vlaney21]

Well, I know that videos take some time to create and yours was really excellent in the visuals and audio and just how thorough and organized you were in its presentation! So thanks again! @@brianruperti

Great tutorial. Had my car a couple days and found this to be extremely helpful. Wish all Toyota dealers would use your video for a rool to train all sales personnel. Our 2 sales people knew nothing about the set ups of a RAV 4 safety features or apple screen.

Hey Brian, Do you know how to setup unlocking all doors when opened the driver door?

Good job done there! I was a total stranger in my own RAV4 2023 car for the past few weeks ...I was able to connect the phone to it and play on my phone but now after this video I can boldly say i just bought the car today and actually owned the car. thank you Brian from today I will take charge. Also all the cements make sense relatively.

Most of his tutorial pertain to my 2024 rav as well. Thanks again. . My question is when I open my driver side with my FOB in my pocket, my passenger doors do not open. I have to manually unlock their doors from the inside. Is there a way to unlock their doors at the same time???????

[@brianruperti]

Yes. Menu>settings>customize vehicle>door lock settings>unlock all doors

Brian, I just bought a 2024 RAV4 XLE Premium, and I didn't know enough to ask any questions. My last car was a 2008 Saturn Aura XE - so it's been 16 years since I've had a new car! When I sit in the RAV4, I feel like I'm sitting inside a computer. Your video on the 2023 ha helped me so much in understanding my 2024 RAV4. THANK YOU!

[@brianruperti]

So glad to help! Congrats on your new car!

[@kimberlyn8262]

This was SO helpful! Thank you! I’ve had mine for almost a year and still didn’t know what all the buttons were. 2 questions- 1. Can you connect a passenger’s phone to listen to their music? 2. More general question- what can I do to improve the MPG? Mine has decreased a bit and I’m not sure what things I could/should be doing to be more fuel efficient. Thank you!! ✌️

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching! 1. Yes, they can either plug into the USB, or make a separate Bluetooth connection. Your Bluetooth must be turned off of your phone for the car to do this. Because your car will always favor you. 2. If you live anywhere that gets cold in winter, that’s the main reason. The fuel quality goes down, and the cars work harder to warm themselves for you. But these work for me: •proper tire air pressure (checked monthly) •new engine air filter yearly •use the proper fuel for the car (regular 87 for most Toyota cars) •oil changes every 5k miles or 6mo (whichever first) with the proper oil. ________________________ •no harsh acceleration •no harsh braking •keep RPMs below 4,000 often •no idling •read articles on “hyper miling” *I break the bottom rules all the time because I like to enjoy my vehicle. I never break the top rules. But if you’re in winter like me, mpg will go down. Especially if you remote start your vehicle like I do. Hope this helps you

Hi Brian thank you for making these useful and on point tutorial videos. One thing i cannot find is if you can turn on multi-information display when engine is off on 2023 rav4. Just dont want to waste gas or the battery while learning everything in the menu settings. Thanks again

[@brianruperti]

You can but must use battery. Please select the chapter “accessory mode & ignition”

Hi Brian, thank you for your tutorials. I bought a 2024 RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium two days ago. The salesman did a good job of explaining the buttons and settings but it was rather overwhelming at the time. The last car I bought was a 2005 Camry LE so this is all new to me. One example is the Hold button which will help in the Costco gas lines 😊 I found you by searching for a RAV4 infotainment videos. Thank you for these informational videos. Helps me with my questions

[@barbarawinkler-scott5588]

Is there somewhere that shows what direction the vehicle is going? North south east west.. used to that being on a rear view mirror??

The compass in mirror is very rare on Toyotas lately. Your navigation app of choice will have a compass on it

[@emmexfyv]

Great video very helpful. We have a 2020 XSE Hybrid AWD and the only thing I can't find is the readout of all 4 tires PSI. Maybe they added it to new ones but it's an annoying oversight on a car with otherwise all the modern tech.

[@JacksonLainhart]

I'm not sure if I missed this, but is there a way to turn off the passenger air bag when someone is in the seat? I have seen some older models have a key slot in the dash when the door is open, but that is not the case with the 2024 model.

[@brianruperti]

I’m sorry why would you want to do that?

Hi Brian, thanks for the video. Proud new owner of a hybrid Rav. Never owned a Toyota before. You mentioned that ECO mode will power the vehicle down.

Since the day I bought the vehicle I have only had it in Push Normal and am wondering if maybe I could be saving even more gas by switching. Thank you.

[@victorkrottner3818]

What I don't understand is: Since there are no mechanical gear linkages in a computerized transmission I know that in "Park" the computer locks the brakes as shown by the red "Brake" icon. What I don't understand is if the car is left for a month or so, and the battery runs out will the car begin to roll downhill as there is no more electricity to keep the brakes locked?

[@brianruperti]

The computer controls an electronic motor that engages the parking brake. So battery dead or not, the car is parked on both the parking pawl, and the engaged parking brake. Electricity is needed to engage and disengage. Electricity is not used to maintain parking brake. Your car won’t roll if battery dies, in fact it won’t start or move anywhere. I hope this helps.
