Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (2021 year). Manual in english — part 2

1-4. Hybrid system

When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor,
the emergency shut off system
blocks the high voltage current
and stops the fuel pump to mini-
mize the risk of electrocution
and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates,
your vehicle will not restart. To
restart the hybrid system, con-

tact 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

this case, try to start the system

again. If the “READY” indicator does

not come on, contact your Toyota

dealer.

NOTICE

●

Do not get water or foreign

materials in the air intake vent

as this may cause a short circuit

and damage the hybrid battery

(traction battery).

●

Do not carry large amounts of

water such as water cooler bot-

tles in the vehicle. If water spills

onto the hybrid battery (traction

battery), the battery may be

damaged. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

●

There is a filter installed to the

air intake vent. When the filter

remains noticeably dirty even

after cleaning the air intake

vent, filter cleaning or replace-

ment is recommended. For

information regarding filter

cleaning or replacement, refer

to P.611.

●

If “Maintenance Required for

Traction Battery Cooling Parts

See Owner’s Manual” is shown

on the multi-information dis-

play, the air intake vent and fil-

ter may be clogged. Refer to

P.611for information on how to

clean the air intake vent.

WARNING

■

The information display at

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to

warm up before using the liquid

crystal information display. At

extremely low temperatures, the

display monitor may respond

slowly, and display changes may

be delayed.
For example, there is a lag

between the driver’s shifting and

the new shift range appearing on

the display. This lag could cause

the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive

engine braking and possibly an

accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

The engine may be overheating if

the engine coolant temperature

gauge is in the red zone (“H”). In

this case, immediately stop the

vehicle in a safe place, and check

the engine after it has cooled

completely. (

WARNING

■

The information display at

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to

warm up before using the liquid

crystal information display. At

extremely low temperatures, the

display monitor may respond

slowly, and display changes may

be delayed.
For example, there is a lag

between the driver’s shifting and

the new shift range appearing on

the display. This lag could cause

the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive

engine braking and possibly an

accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

The engine may be overheating if

the engine coolant temperature

gauge is in the red zone (“H”). In

this case, immediately stop the

vehicle in a safe place, and check

the engine after it has cooled

completely. (

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing a key with wireless

remote control function onto an air-

craft, make sure you do not press

any buttons on the key while inside

the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying

the key in your bag etc., ensure that

the buttons are not likely to be

Key battery depletion



Vehicles without smart key system

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2

years.

●

The battery will become depleted

even if the wireless key is not

used. The following symptoms

indicate that the wireless key bat-

tery may be depleted. Replace the

battery when necessary.

(

If the battery becomes low, an

alarm will sound in the cabin and a

message will be displayed on the

multi-information display when the

●

To reduce key battery depletion

when the electronic key is to not

be used for long periods of time,

set the electronic key to the bat-

tery-saving mode. (

To prevent trapping the electronic

key inside the vehicle, leaving the

vehicle carrying the electronic key

on your person without turning the

power switch to OFF or other pas-

sengers from unintentionally taking

the key out of the vehicle, etc., a

message that prompts the user to

confirm the state of the electronic

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the back door is

fully closed.

If the back door is not fully

closed, it may open unexpect-

edly while driving and hit near-

by objects or luggage in the lug-

gage compartment may be

thrown out, causing an acci-

dent.

●

Do not allow children to play in

the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked

in the luggage compartment,

they could get heat exhaustion

or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back

door to operate unexpectedly,

or cause the child’s hands,

head, or neck to be caught by

the closing back door.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the back door closed

while driving.

If the back door is left open, it

may hit near-by objects or lug-

gage in the luggage compart-

ment may be thrown out,

causing an accident.

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment.

In the event of sudden braking,

sudden swerving or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

Back door handles

Do not hang any object to the

back door handles.

If any object is hung, the back

door may suddenly shut, causing

parts of the body to be caught,

resulting in death or serious

injury.

■

Operating the back door

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts

of the body to be caught, resulting

in death or serious injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the back

door before opening it. Failure

to do so may cause the back

door to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the

back door, thoroughly check to

make sure the surrounding area

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make

sure they are safe and let them

know that the back door is

about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

WARNING

●

Vehicles without power back

door: The back door may sud-

denly shut if it is not opened

fully. It is more difficult to open

or close the back door on an

incline than on a level surface,

so beware of the back door

unexpectedly opening or closing

by itself. Make sure that the

back door is fully open and

secure before using the luggage

compartment.

●

Vehicles with power back door:

The back door may suddenly

shut if it is not opened fully,

while on a steep incline. Make

sure that the back door is

secured before using the lug-

gage compartment.

●

When closing the back door,

take extra care to prevent your

fingers, etc. from being caught.

●

Vehicles without power back

door: When closing the back

door, make sure to press it

lightly on its outer surface. If the

back door handle is used to fully

close the back door, it may

result in hands or arms being

caught.

●

Do not pull on the back door

damper stay (vehicles without

power back door) (



P.137) or

back door spindle (vehicles with

power back door) (



P.144) to

close the back door, and do not

hang on the back door damper

stay (vehicles without power

back door) or back door spindle

(vehicles with power back door).

Doing so may cause hands to

be caught or the back door

damper stay (vehicles without

power back door) or back door

spindle (vehicles with power

back door) to break, causing an

accident.

●

Vehicles without power back

door: If a bicycle carrier or simi-

lar heavy object is attached to

the back door, it may suddenly

shut again after being opened,

causing someone’s hands,

head or neck to be caught and

injured. When installing an

accessory part to the back door,

using a genuine Toyota part is

recommended.
