Thank you Brian for this excellent video. I appreciate it so much. The dealer just gave me te car keys and waved bye. I had to guess what each button did because i lost te instruction manual and all.
So well done. I have a 2023 and love it. With regard to the center console buttons, pushing and holding the charging button on the right automatically charges the battery as I drive.
Thank you for making these videos. They plug a hole in what Toyota should have produced, but hasn't. I, for one, prefer the videos that are more in depth. Your 35 minute video on the non-Prime 2024 Rav4 XSE had additional and highly useful information.
I just got one 4 days ago. This video is very helpful. I'm sure I'll watch it again and again. I don't know if I'll ever get to all those screens. The car I've been driving for the past 20 years (a 2004 Honda Pilot) has both a CD player and a cassette player. I'm slowly learning how to use the media screen and get some music. I'll watch your tutorial on that. Thank you very much.
Something that you didn't mention that my wife found in the instruction manual has to do with cruise control. If you just tap the cruise control button you get "radar cruise control" which is useful on an interstate type road. If you hold the button down for a count of 3 then you get plain old cruise control.
Thanks, just traded in our 2021 RAV 4 XSE for a '24 RAV PRIME XSE with premium package. You cut my manual time down to a fraction, tough to drive a vehicle that is more aware than you......much appreciated
Thank you Brian🫶 I just got this model a few weeks ago! Even though the dealer went through everything thoroughly I am glad I found you because I can reference each step over and over on the things I am still unfamiliar with. Thank you so much!! Ps is this the black interior? It looked more gray but it may be the lighting🤍
Just fyi you had some minor flubs on the EV mode buttons. Auto EV/HV moves from the default EV to the auto mode where it still rides like an EV mostly but will kick on the engine when more power is needed. It doesn’t switch to a hybrid to keep the charge. It will use your battery basically like EV mode. The second button with a normal press switches between fixed ev and fixed hybrid basically like you said, except it’s just a quick normal press.When you hold it though it switches to “charge” mode where it will run you engine at a higher engine RPM than needed and run your car off the engine only, until the battery hits 80%. Then it’s just like normal HV mode. Good if you want your car to have EV miles for camping or if you want to use them in a city coming up while you’re on a trip.
We just drove our rav4 prime home from the dealership last night. Glad we found this info it's very helpful. Question re running in EV mode only: If you are trying to run in EV mode only but it cold outside, will the car turn on the engine to heat it up so the car can produce heat for the heat/AC system?
I just got a more basic RAV4 LE and even though you explained a different model, I found this very helpful in your pacing, organization, and in your easy to follow explanations. As someone else commented below, even though I was given a thorough explanation upon delivery, It was too much new information to recall and use while driving. I'll definitely be returning to this video as I get to know my new car.
Why no backlit critical buttons ? Why overhead console lights arent push-on push-off housings like every other car? Huge oversight trying to grope In the dark for the ceiling light button
My old 2016 Rav4 Hybrid Limited was automatically gas/electric; it decided on its own and I preferred it that way. Would you suggest I tap that "AUTO EV/HV" button all the time?
I have a 2022 rav4 prime and very concerned about a coolant bypass valve that they have a class action law suit about. Defective valve that they won't cover!!

Glad I could help!
I would love to one day get this, but for now, I’m very happy with my 2022 Rav4 Hybrid.
All good things come in time 🙏🏼

Thank you for diving into this for me I appreciate the knowledge!

The car should run in EV mode as long as it can, however I am not aware of a hvac demand overriding the EV mode. I could be wrong.
I bought the 2024 RAV4 Prime, Can you do a video on the remote start with the App and Key FOB?
Congrats! Gladly

I agree 100% my manor gripe with the corolla hatchback I had was the overhead buttons did not light up.
I would like a review of all rave 4 XSE additional packages year 2024. THANK YOU!! 2:29
www.toyota.com/content/dam/toyota/brochures/pdf/2024/rav4_ebrochure.pdf
Page 13 bottom section of the XSE where it says “optional packages”
Any videos on the rear view digital mirror??
In my Land Cruiser tutorial I have some info on it for you
@ thx
My old 2016 Rav4 Hybrid Limited was automatically gas/electric; it decided on its own and I preferred it that way. Would you suggest I tap that "AUTO EV/HV" button all the time?
Depends on if you want the car to be recharging the battery or not at that moment
Very nice quick start video
Thanks
I wonder whether 2024 Prime XSE Premium package has "the motorized power mirrors". Thanks
No motorized folding mirrors
RAV4 XLE Premium tutorial please. Not hybrid or prime. Had the car 24 hours and I’m overwhelmed with so many choices. Thank you.

This 23 video applies to the 24 enjoy
I have a 2022 rav4 prime and very concerned about a coolant bypass valve that they have a class action law suit about. Defective valve that they won't cover!!
Oof. I hope this resolves soon!
Is the 2024 settings the same as the 2023 XSE Model?
Yes basically identical
Maybe I missed but can you get power folding mirrors?
Not on this model
Concise! Loved that. Thanks. 😎
Thanks for watching!
Holymary, I’m about to rent one of these and I just want to be able to drive it off the lot at dusk. 😂
You got this
The only thing wrong is you call them parking life.Those are your daytime running lights on the left knob, not your parking lights. GReat vid tho
