2022 Rav4 Limited

[Mom22Mimi24]

Have a 2022 Rav4 Limited coming in a few weeks but I am seeing videos that show the disable button for the stop/start technology has been left blank.  I don't know what ours has but on the order sheet it only says "Smart Stop Technology" and it is explained as an entirely different feature.  I need to know if my Rav4 has that stupid Stop/Start in it.  Our salesman printed up a complete description of everything on ours and no where does it say it has stop/start on it.  Could someone enlighten me?  Since it starts build on Monday October 31, we don't even have a window sticker but the list our salesman gave us is very complete information and he didn't know even after looking for the information.  He said he's never seen one without that disable button.  Could someone help with this info?  Thanks!  Are the videos wrong?  Does that blanked out button pertain to other countries?  I am in the United States.

This is a UK forum. All current UK RAV4s are hybrid and the ICE only ever runs on demand by the system - i.e. it is always in the equivalent of stop/start mode and there is no means to disable this ...

Thank you Philip.  Is there a way for me to unsubscribe from this forum since it is UK only?

The forum isn't limited to just the UK - we are UK based. However, the specifications of vehicles do vary from country to country.

It is correct that the UK and most European markets only have the hybrid or PHEV versions of the Rav4, rather than petrol which may be available in the Americas, etc.

You could have a look at the US club - https://us.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/

You're welcome to stay! Just be aware there might be differences (The biggest one being we drive on different sides of the road  ), so some stuff might apply to UK-spec but not US-spec or vice versa!

RAV4 World might be a better place to ask questions specific to US spec RAV4s ... 🙂

Always interesting to hear what's happening in different markets.
