2023 TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME sensor

321-1. For safe use
Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is sub-
jected to certain types of severe
frontal or side collision or a vehi-
cle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact or a
rear impact.
■Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subse-
quent collisions.
■PCS-linked seat belt preten-
sioner control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a vehi cle is high, the
seat belt pretensioners will be pre-
pared to operate.
WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of your shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from your
neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Failure to do so could
reduce the amount of protection in
an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a
sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners
(front and outboard rear
seats)
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the pas-
senger’s weight, which prevents
the sensor from detecting the
passenger’s weight properly. As
a result, the seat belt preten-
sioner for the fr ont passenger’s
seat may not activate in the
event of a collision.
●If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will
come on. In that case, the seat
belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Toyota
dealer.

• Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outboard seats
• Can help prevent the occupants from being thrown from the vehi cle in the

Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising
etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high
speed deployment (inflation) by
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and
inflator) as well as the front seats,
parts of the front and rear pillars,
and roof side rails, may be hot for
several minutes. T he airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped
and fuel supply to the engine will
be stopped. ( P.89)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.223)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically.
(  P.408)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.436)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.534)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of
the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. ( P.65)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-
vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy
in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level
(the level of forc e corresponding
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).

detected by the impact sensor,
the emergency shut off system
blocks off the high voltage cur-
rent and stops the fuel pump to
minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage.
If the emergency shut off system
activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid sys-
tem, contact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction
occurs in the hybrid system or
an improper operation is
attempted.
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions.
■If a warning light comes on, a
warning message is displayed
or the 12-volt battery is discon-
nected
The hybrid system may not start. In
that case, try to start the system
again. If the “READY” indicator does
not come on, contact your Toyota
dealer.
Primarily using EV mode and
AUTO EV/HV mode when driv-
ing in cities and using HV mode
when driving on highways (or
freeways) can help conserve
fuel and electricity. ( P.76)
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving fuel and
electricity economy. ( P.404)
Eco-friendly driving is possible
by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area.

nate when the charging connector
is inserted. ( P.98)
If the charging indicator is flashing,
the charging schedule is registered.
(  P.128)
If the error warning indicator on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) flashes during charging,
check P.123 and follow the correc-
tion procedure.
The charging indicator will turn off
when charging is completed.
The charging indicator will also turn
off when charging is interrupted. In
this case, refer to P.152.
■If the charging indicator of the
charging port flashes after con-
necting the AC charging cable
The charging schedule ( P.128) is
registered and charging cannot be
performed. To cancel charging
using the charging schedule and
start charging, per form any of the
following procedures.
●Turn “Charge Now” to ON
(  P.135, 141, 147)
●While the charging indicator is

■When the charging connector
cannot be inserted into the AC
charging inlet
 P.108
■Safety function
If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin
even if the AC charging cable is
connected.
Also, charging will be
stopped if the
latch release button is pressed and
held for several seconds during
charging. When restarting charging,
reinsert the charging connector after
pulling it out, and check that the
charging indicator of the charging
port illuminates.
■Charging time may increase
 P.120
■While charging
When the power switch is turned to
ON and the energy monitor is dis-
played on the Multimedia Display,
the charging connector is displayed
on the energy monitor and the flow
of electricity during charging is dis-
played ( P.213).
■Protection function of AC
charging inlet overheating
(vehicles with 7 kW onboard
traction battery charger)
By installing a temperature sensor
to the AC charging inlet, prevents
parts from melti ng when the tem-
perature rises due to foreign matter
entering the charging connector.
When a certain temperature
increase is detected, charging is
stopped immediately and a mes-
sage is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. After the
temperature has decreased,
charging resumes by performing the
operation to start charging again.
