2020 RAV 4 - Things I Miss

[Jean Jacques]

Just getting used to my new RAV 4 Dynamic but there are a few things I miss from my old vehicle (a Ford) - or could it be that I haven't discovered them on the RAV 4 yet ?

1) Auto Main beam/Dipping

2) Memory buttons for seat/mirror positions for different drivers

3) Radio mute when a sat nav instruction is given

Hi, I thought all new Rav4 have auto High beam, there is a button on the right of the dash that switches it on and then you push the light stalk away from you to activate.

CAnnot help witjh the other 2, Not got my car yet and Memory seats.

1) Auto Main beam/Dipping

Definitely there, there is a button on the rh side under the steering wheel: you activate the option and then put lights to full beam and it auto swithches then.

2) Memory buttons for seat/mirror positions for different drivers

Should have gone for Excel

3) Radio mute when a sat nav instruction is given

Not in the car’s headunit, try waze and spotify in AA or CP

Definitely there...

and better than the first iteration with version 1 of Safety Sense, but still to slow to respond, too inconsiderate to other road users for my taste, so like my previous Toyota, it's permanently switched off.

Plus it would switch on high beam below about 27 mph, which is a big problem in pitch blackness on some of the very bendy single track country lanes near me that have high embankments and some trees lining them.
