2022 TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID hood open

3105-5. Using the driving support systems
OIn the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been
driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the mes-
sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when
driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front
camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may judge the
surrounding environment can not be properly recognized. In that case, “Pre-Colli-
sion System Unavailable” is displayed.
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.
If the front camera is cold, such as after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Unavail-
able” is displayed.Check whether there is attached materi-
als on the radar sensor and radar sensor
cover, and if there is, remove it.

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
OThe outside temperature is extremely
low
OWhen the hybrid system is cool (for
example, after being left for a long time in low temperatures)
QWindshield defogger
When defogging the windshield using
the Remote Air Conditioning System, defogging may be insufficient due to the power being restricted more than during
normal air conditioning operation. Also, the outside of the windshield may fog up due to the outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.
QUsing the heater via the Remote Air Conditioning System
OWhen the outside temperature is low, heating may feel insufficient due to restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
OWhen the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating perfor- mance may decline due to automati-cally switching to the frost removal
operation. ( P.406)
QSecurity feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically locked when the system is operating.
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked or the system has been turned off.
QConditions affecting operation
 P.222
QWhile the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
ODepending on the operating condition of the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-tem, the air conditioning compressor
or cooling fan may spin and an operat- ing noise may be heard.However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
OThe air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate while the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating.
QElectronic key battery depletion
 P.200
QWhen the electronic key battery is fully depleted
 P.486
QCustomization
Setting (e.g. Operation using “A/C” on the wireless remote control) can be changed. (Customizable features:
 P.569)
WARNING
QPrecautions for the Remote Air Conditioning System
ODo not use the system if people are in the vehicle. Even when the system is in use, the
internal temperature may still reach a high or low level due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Children and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke dehy-dration or hypothermia, or could
result in death or serious injury.
ODepending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when neces-sary.
ODo not operate “A/C” on the wire-less remote control if the hood is
open. The air conditioning may operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
QTo prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery) from being dis-charged
Use “A/C” on the wireless remote control only when necessary.

WARNING
QWhen inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
OIf steam is seen coming from under
the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very
hot.
OAfter the hybrid system has been
turned off, check that the “READY” indicator is off.When the hybrid system is operat-
ing, the gasoline engine may auto- matically start, or the cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the
gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers
or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, result-ing in serious injury.
ODo not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and
radiator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
QWhen adding engine/power con-trol unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid
system too quickly can cause dam- age to the hybrid system.
QTo prevent damage to the cool-ing system
Observe the following precautions:
OAvoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust, etc.).
ODo not use any coolant additive.
