How to Use the Cruise Control in the New RAV4?
2 Answers
RAV4 is equipped with cruise control. Press the top of the cruise control lever and push it downward, then the dashboard will display 'set'. The steps to use cruise control are as follows: 1. Press the power button to activate the cruise control system, and the cruise control indicator on the dashboard will light up. 2. Accelerate to your desired speed, then press the SET button. You can now release the accelerator pedal, and the speed will be maintained at the current level. 3. For minor speed adjustments, use the 'RES' and 'SET-' buttons. 4. There are three ways to deactivate cruise control: press the brake pedal, press the CANCEL button, or press the ON/OFF button.
Using the cruise control on the new RAV4 is quite simple. After starting the vehicle and driving on the road, find a stable section to ensure safety. Then locate the cruise control button on the steering wheel and press it to activate the system. Accelerate to your desired speed, such as 80 km/h, and press the SET button to lock it in. If you want to adjust the speed, use the + or - buttons for fine-tuning, which helps control fuel consumption. I often use it on highways to save effort; just remember not to use it in heavy traffic or during rainy or foggy weather as it can be risky. Keep your foot ready to brake in case of emergencies—stepping on the brake will automatically cancel the system. Regular checks to ensure the system is fault-free make it even more convenient. This way, it’s both safe and effortless, helping avoid fatigue during long drives.
