271-1. For safe use
RAV4_OM_OM42A41U_(U)
1
For safety and security
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( →P. 151, 153)
Adjusting the mirrors
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
● Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to
feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

731-2. Theft deterrent system

For safety and security
Engine immobilizer system
Vehicles without smart key sys-
tem
The indicator light flashes after
the key has been removed from
the engine switch to indicate that
the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing
after the registered key has been
inserted into the engine switch to
indicate that the system has been
canceled.
Vehicles with smart key system
The indicator light flashes after the engine switch has been turned off
to indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing after the engine switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode to indicate that the
system has been canceled.
■ System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type engine immobilizer system.
■ Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object
● If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system
(key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent
the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis-
tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi-
cle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components (with mono-
chrome display)
The engine may be overheating if the high engine coolant temperature
warning light flashes or turns on. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.

Operation of each component
WARNING
●In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality
and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has
to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped
back door may suddenly open or close, causing an accident.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart key sys-
tem) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system) or the
engine is started during automatic operation
● If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, the
power back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the
back door may move slightly in the closing direction after being opened,
causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be caught and injured. When
installing an accessory part to the back door, ask your Toyota dealer for
details.
■ Jam protection function (vehicles with power back door)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else.
● The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the
object that is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.\

Operation of each component
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
stops. ( →P. 640)
● As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. ( →P. 585)
• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
● To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft.
(1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■ Customization
Settings (e. g. smart key system) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 699)
■ If the smart key system has been deactivated in a customized setting
●Locking and unlocking the doors:

3-5. Opening, closing the windows and moon roof
■When opening and closing the power window can not be done (if
equipped for driver’s window)
When the jam protection function or catch protection function operates
unusually or the window can not be fully opened and closed, perform the fol-
lowing operations with the power window switch of the driver’s door.
●Stop the vehicle, with the engine switch in “ON” position (vehicles without
smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system),
continually operate the power window switch in the one-touch closing posi-
tion within 4 seconds after the jam protection function or catch protection
function was activated. Otherwise, by continually operating the power win-
dow switch in the one-touch opening position, the window can be opened
and closed.
● If the window can not be opened and closed even when performing the
above operations, implement the following procedure for function initializa-
tion.
Turn the engine switch to “ON” position (vehicles without smart ke\
y sys-
tem) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system).
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position
and completely close the window.
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pulling the
switch in the one-touch closing direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 6 seconds or more.
Press and hold the power window switch in the one-touch opening posi-
tion and after the window is completely opened, continue holding the
switch for a further 1 second or more.
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pushing the
switch in the one-touch opening direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 4 seconds or more.
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position,
once more, and after the window is completely closed, continue holding
the switch for a further 1 second or more.
If you release the switch while the window is moving, start again from t\
he
beginning.
If the window reverses and can not be closed or completely open, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
