Here are the steps to turn on the rear air conditioning in the RAV4: 1. Turn on the air conditioning from the vehicle's central control panel, and the rear air conditioning will automatically activate. 2. There is a knob on the rear air conditioning vent; turn the knob to the "on" position. 3. This knob can adjust the airflow and control the rear air conditioning switch. Below are the steps to replace the car air conditioning filter: 1. Bend the two retractable clips under the black plastic panel near the passenger footwell. 2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, remove the vehicle's computer, and then detach the computer mounting bracket. 3. Remove the four screw panels located on the left side of the passenger's left foot area.

After starting the vehicle, first ensure the front air conditioning is turned on, as the rear air conditioning usually requires the entire system to be operational. In most RAV4 models, you can find the air conditioning control panel on the center console, which features dedicated buttons or knobs to adjust the rear airflow. For example, pressing the button labeled 'Rear' or 'REAR' will activate the rear air vents. Then, use the knobs to adjust the fan speed and temperature, or if your vehicle has an automatic function, you can directly set the target temperature and let the system control it automatically. If rear passengers feel uncomfortable, they can manually adjust the direction of the air vents located beside the seats to avoid direct airflow to the face, making the ride more comfortable for family or friends in the back. Remember to regularly clean the air conditioning filter to maintain fresh air and improve cooling efficiency.

I've been driving the RAV4 for several years, and operating the rear air conditioning is quite straightforward. After starting the car, first turn on the main AC switch, then look for a rear AC button or rear seat icon on the center console - press it to activate. Sometimes the rear temperature can be controlled independently; you can adjust it using the rotary knob or through the screen menu. In winter, I usually set it slightly higher so kids in the back won't feel cold; in summer, lower it but avoid direct airflow to the head. If rear passengers have complaints, just let them adjust the vent direction by playing with the airflow blades. This design is quite considerate, especially for long trips when everyone wants to stay comfortable. Occasionally weak airflow might indicate a dirty filter - remember to maintain it regularly and don't wait until there's no airflow at all to address it.
