6 Things You May not Know About Your Toyota RAV4

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.

How do you like ur rav 4 after a year?

[@JeanYvesHemlin]

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..

My 2020 Canadian Rav doesn’t do that either.

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

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.

[@okiefoodieking]

Wait what are u talking about ?

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

@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.

[@Dustandfuzz]

@@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.

[@pbear216]

[@klareheston8646]

Same here--bought car in Covid - took me a few years to understand most of these features--but you added one I still did not know--Thanks!!!

[@okiefoodieking]

Awesome! Which one did u not know about ?

[@patcrow_gawker5494]

Three automatic adaptive cruise control settings are likely based on seconds. With all three bars, the car in front of you is 4 seconds ahead of you. Two bars is three seconds. One bar, a good setting for rush hour, is two seconds behind the car in front. Btw, two seconds is the amount of distance I was taught in 1970 to leave between cars. My recent medical transportation training states 4 seconds as the appropriate amount of space to leave between cars.

[@leefortier]

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.

[@okiefoodieking]

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!

[@daveroberts7295]

Leds last way longer than the alternative , also if one fails there are probably 25 more still working. IE you won't notice it.

If you want better drive quality don't use regular gas , use 89

[@KDWH75]

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.

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.

[@ddjjss]

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.

[@johnr1704]

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!

[@okiefoodieking]

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 !

[@gregsantos9731]

Yes, i think rubber mattings are much better, it helps to hold things plus the fact that it's softer to the feel

[@okiefoodieking]

@@gregsantos9731 yeah I love the rubber mats. They are the best !

[@esmokah]

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!

[@pbear216]

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

[@larz28]

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.

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.

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.

[@anthonycassata5152]

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.

[@okiefoodieking]

Yeah not sure if it saves gas or not. Seems like it’s bad on the car for sure though

Great explanations for the RAV4

[@okiefoodieking]

Thank you ! I appreciate it !

[@meninatym435]

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 ?

[@meninatym435]

@@okiefoodieking I like and I think it’s a great safety feature

[@emoskies777]

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 !

[@okiefoodieking]

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!

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.

[@sprice2719]

The one thing I don’t like compared to other vehicles with lane assist is the RAV4 is too sensitive and will overcorrect. It also doesn’t seem to recognize when a lane opens up like a fork for instance

[@okiefoodieking]

Yeah the lane trace assistance can be sensitive for sure !

[@davidcockrell5433]

There is a way to adjust the sensitivity, look at the manual for instructions.

[@Aarons14bugs]

You had the right signal on when you changed to the left lane!

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.

[@travisjennings365]

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]

You bet ! It will make a difference !

[@Moppett]

When this happens, do the brake lights come on?

[@stephanieweathers3846]

I don't like the Lane tracing feature. Thank you for some of the other features. Some I knew some I didn't.

[@okiefoodieking]

Glad to help !

[@kenty6973]

I was scared to use the radar cruise control along with the lane adjustment in the beginning when i bought my new RAV4. Till I had a 3000 mile road trip, I tested these functions with my foot near the brake paddle for 3 hours, then I trusted these functions. It worked great. But still..... I feel comfortable putting my foot on acceleration pedal and hands on steering wheel.

[@okiefoodieking]

It was one of my favorite features and saves my calf muscle from always putting my break on when I needed but don’t have to now bc it does it for me

[@daveroberts7295]

Lane assist is not self steering. Its there to nudge you as a warning. Your job of steering and watching for traffic is still your job, these are assisting devices. Taking your hands off the wheel is nuts. PS: I am on number 3 RAV4 trail. 2020, 2019, and 2023.

[@MC-iv3op]

​@@daveroberts7295this

[@HaiRune]

@@daveroberts7295The lane centering allows you to take your hands off the wheel. It’s designed for situations where you may need those extra couple seconds to use your hands for something else like grabbing something that dropped or something. It’s not for completely letting go but for slightly longer intervals than without it. It is especially useful in straight roads where instead of having to nudge back and forth you can just let it do it’s thing for a few seconds

[@daveroberts7295]

@@HaiRune Nonsense. The job of driving a car is to be completely in control of the vehicle at all times, letting go of the wheel is not part of complete control. Dropping what, your cell phone, that's illegal. There are only a couple of things yu should be doing while driving, control of the car and looking out for hazards. Looking out through that bit of glass in front of your nose. Letting go of the wheel for a few seconds is a ticket to hell, loss of situational awareness, loss of life. Tell you insurance company that you think that is normal and see what they say.

I have a 2024 and my car play is always acting up!! Plus sometimes I hear a loud noise when I break!

Your Toyota key fob's continuous broadcasting can be turned off by depressing and holding the lock button while pressing the unlock button twice. To return to regular continuous signal broadcasting, depress any button. While your key fob is not broadcasting, you will save the battery and prevent modern-day theft of your Toyota's auto-unlock signal.

I didn't know or hear about these features specifically about the autopilot and steading features and self driving type of function.

Also trick out your a/c speed by turn your rear a/c button in and the fan speed will be faster! Awwww💨💨

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.
