First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the engine, keeping the car in an operational state. Otherwise, you won't be able to turn on the automatic headlight switch. Locate the lever on the left side of the steering wheel and rotate the outermost knob. Find the AUTO button for adjusting the automatic headlights and set the switch to the AUTO position. Adjust the central light control knob from the "0" position to the "AUTO" position to activate the automatic headlight function.
For 2021 RAV4 owners, turning off the automatic headlights is quite simple. First, locate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, then rotate it from the AUTO position to OFF. The automatic headlights activate in low-light conditions on sunny days, but they can sometimes turn on unnecessarily at tunnel exits or during daytime car washes, which can be annoying. Manually switching them off saves some battery. Having driven this model for a year, I use this method whenever I need to briefly turn off the lights, like during parking breaks. Don’t forget that the dashboard will display the headlight status—ensure the car is stationary when switching for safety. If you forget the steps, check the manual or the app’s assist features; the RAV4’s interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Overall, this design is thoughtful, and occasional adjustments are fine—just avoid turning them off at night to prevent reduced visibility and accidents.
