The method to use the panoramic camera on the RAV4: After starting the car, the system will automatically activate. You can switch perspectives using the buttons. For vehicles equipped with a central control screen, you can also switch perspectives through the screen after connection. The 360-degree panoramic reversing camera is a parking assistance system that integrates a 360-degree view around the car through the vehicle display screen, helping drivers understand blind spots around the vehicle and park more intuitively and safely. In terms of body dimensions, the RAV4 measures 4600 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690 mm. For the suspension, the RAV4 uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a double-wishbone independent suspension at the rear.
The panoramic view system in the RAV4 is quite straightforward, and I particularly enjoy using it while reversing. After starting the engine and shifting into reverse gear, the system automatically activates the panoramic view, displaying a 360-degree bird's-eye view on the screen, making the surrounding environment clear at a glance. Sometimes, I manually press the camera button on the center console to activate it, such as during low-speed turns or navigating narrow alleys. Operationally, you can swipe the touchscreen to switch to individual camera views, like the rear or side cameras, to clearly see the position of the wheels. The guiding lines are very practical, showing how far you are from obstacles, but don’t rely on them entirely—safe driving still requires checking the mirrors. New drivers should practice a few times to get used to it; parking becomes much easier once you’re familiar. Remember to clean the camera lenses regularly, as dust buildup can blur the image and affect judgment.
