How to set up the safety sense and turn on or off features you don't want. Note I forgot to mention that the pre collision system for a vehicle is effect between 7 and 100 MPH
I was in a snow storm and on the highway and the cruise did not work with the radar. I was unaware that you could go back to the old school cruise mode. I knew there was a way. Thanks.
I have the 2021 Toyota Highlander Platinum build & recently we had a lot of snow in NYC. The plows dug me in & I needed to move forward & backward a little to be able to pull out of my spot. Well, the Pre Collision System would brake automatically & I didnt know how to turn it off. Had to shovel in front of the sensors. This a reason you would want to turn off the system temporarily. I will try to turn off later as per your instructions. Hope it works, & thanks for the video (:
That actually sounds like the ics or intelligent clearance sonar system. The precollission system does not engage until you exceed 7 mph. The ics system is meant to help avoid slow speed bumps into cars or other obstacles and can cause issues if you have the situation you described
Thanks we have just bought a RAV4 hybrid Limited (NZ, had to wait 6 months, but we are so happy) and you have given us the confidence to play as we have only had it 3 days. However, we seem to have turned off the voice caution when approaching a speed camera. This, we feel, is really useful on road trips when you don't know where the speed cameras are. It was working on the way into town, I turned it off and when I got back in and turned on again, the display said no messages. I have no idea what I have done. All I did was re- programme my 2nd driver seat settings. I swear I touched nought else. The manual at this stage is confusing. We'd like it back on if you can help.
Thank you for the response. That is not a function we have here but it would make sense to be in the following spot. On the center screen toggle to the right until you see the gear. This is where you can turn on or off the safety items like pre collision blind spot monitors, road sign the detection etc. Like I said that function. Is not one we have here but it makes sense that it would be there.

How to fix Parking sensors in a 2015 Land Cruiser that stop working? The Body shop fixed a dent in the front bumper and now the sensors doesn’t beep anymore?
Thanks for posting this video, it's been really helpful. Any idea how to switch off the verbal warning (please obey all traffic regulations) it comes on when the car slightly dips over the speed limit. It's so annoying as it blares over the radio , phone calls, people speaking in the car. Can this be shut off without disabling the speed sign detection?
Great video! Thanks My husband just bought me an XLE 2021 for Christmas last week! I love it 🥰 Is Toyota going to reinsert the Compass 🧭 when they update the software?
@@stevenwelchtoyota - Hi Steve 🙋🏾♀️ I would like to see it on the dashboard where it was on the 2018. Hubby traded in my 2018 for the new 2021 for Christmas! I’m in love with it. I was a little disappointed they took the compass away. Also the Sensor (buttons) that surrounds the bumpers are gone too) I do love the alert system on the back up cam, but the front sensors on the XLE were removed. It was kinda cool being alerted as to a close object near the front bumper. It was so cool and practical seeing the NSEW directions & the street names when my GPS was disengaged and the front sensor too. I even called my dealership last week asking them why did Toyota remove them. This is my third RAV4 and I just love how the Rav keeps upgrading each year! 😎🤩 Believe it or not we looked at the Lexus too but the RAV4 2021 got my heart- once again. Even better, I got the Luna Rock 🛻 such a rare and beautiful soft greenish- olive-gray color! 😁😎🥰🤩 Thanks Steve.
Recently I upgraded to a 2020 Avalon specifically for the advanced safety features, but am wondering if there is an easy way to turn all Safety Sense features off with a single function? The first time I went thru a full service car wash the systems were beeping and lights were flashing. Thanks for the video it was clear and easy to understand.
Very informative video, thanks. Not sure why it's called 'Safety Sense' as it makes no sense to me, to take control from the driver. I've tried to permanently turn off the dangerous 'steering assist' in my RAV4 but can't. In my view, cars are actually becoming less safe due to these over complex systems. In reality, most drivers won't have a clue how to navigate through all these functions.
Hey Steve, thanks for the video and replies. I might have missed this question, but is there a way to turn off the lane departure assist entirely? Lots of curvy roads with minimal traffic in my area, so it’s normal to straighten out a bit when you’re the only car around. Thanks in advance!
I will tell you why I want to shut off the pre collision system, a BIKE rack! We folded ours up and I could NOT back up! LOL. It kept slamming on the brakes and could not back up. The temp pause of the system only lasted 20 seconds.

Good afternoon Steven... I'm new to the Toyota family.. I have a question, I just bought a 2019 Toyota RAV4 on 02/24/22 On the test drive, the car drove like new... I didn't notice any major pay on roblems… When I got home, I started navigating the settings on the dashboard... I came across a vehicle alert screen that read- A malfunction in the pre-collision system has been detected.. The question is; Is the pre-collision system, under the bumper to bumper warranty… Or will Toyota resolves the issue… Like a recall ? Thanks in advance for your answer…
Hey Steve, thank you for the video, I really learn a lot. Can you please tell me how to activate the parking sensor on the rav4 2021? Mine doesn't bip when I reverse. Thanks
My automatic car was instructions are to turn off all pre-collision systems and auto windshield wipers. Should I turn off blind spot monitoring as well? Scary to go through some of these car washes with everything on!😮
Hi I still didn’t find the answer to my question I have a 2018 Camry se that’s Canadian and I am obliged to have the same lights in day and night and the normal light with led is always open unless I turn it off put on the brake and turn it back on then it’s only the led which is exactly what I want but after I release the brake and want to move with the car it changes light automatically and both light and led are on and I don’t want that
Hi Steve If for some reason you leave a door open does the dashboard lights will go out at some point or the open door alert will stay on until you go back to the car? Thank you! I am a little concern about the battery life on my hybrid, I went to work and didn't pay attention but I left one door open :(
It should shut off to save the battery. Keep in mind the lights are not controlled by the hybrid battery they are controlled by the regulator 12 bold battery
Thank you so much for your video. We just got a 2021 Toyota Corola Hybrid for our daughter, do you know if it comes with the safety sense ? I see the button on the wheel but not sure it works.. Also do any toyota Corola's have parking assist? Like when you are parking to know when you are too close. Not sure the exact name for the feature on my audi q7 that's the name. Thank you again..
Hi, thanks for this helpful video. Is there a way to turn off the seatbelt chime? When someone in the front or back seat is buckled up and for some reason they unbuckle it starts beeping. Can't find in the settings. Its 2020 Highlander. Thanks a lot
@@stevenwelchtoyota Thanks for your quick response. I was thinking about it. It's just annoying when you do uber and not all the passengers are wearing seatbelt
The only reason I ever want to turn off my pre-collision system, is when I’m about to go through an automatic car wash w/ brushes & rollers coming bat the car from all directions. Rain sensing wipers need to be turned off too or one may get ripped right off the car w/a heavy leather like strap roller going over the vehicle. Also, I get a warning to not keep my car in neutral, even long enough to get off the automatic track
you are correct about the wipers but the collision system only activates over 7 miles per hour. for a car wash you disable the ICS Intelligent clearance system
Hey Steve thanks for some of your input input I learned where some of the stuff was as I was trying to fix my problem Where would I look when my blindspot monitor and rear cross traffic alert are unavailable What does that mean how do I reset it I don't have the dash button to clear the problem
Thx Steve for your help in understanding my 2021 Rav4 xle that I just picked up yesterday. Wow is all I can say! Bare with me on the linho plz. How to you turn off the beeping and keep the lights on on the OUTER rear/ side mirror. On the door? Drives me crazy especially on the freeway. Help, sos!!!
Hi I live in Australia & just purchased a 2019 RAV 4 GXL. Thanks for the video was very helpful. Can u please tell me how I turn off the voice prompt for obeying road rules. I am a careful driver & have all the safety features on but the voice prompt even comes on when I am using radar cruise. I went into the navigation system settings to turn off the school zone alert which prompted me through out the whole day. Is the setting for the obey road rules in the same area? Hoping u can help me thank you as I have looked at the owners manual & am lost & will have to go back to my Toyota dealer as the prompt is driving me crazy thanks again
Hi I accessed the navigation settings on the tablet screen using the menu button then went into advanced navigation settings which is where I found the driver prompt section which is where I turned off the school zone voice. This section is where u can toggle other prompts on & off such as accident zones etc
Hello I took my RAV to the dealer & they changed the speed limit settings in the advanced sat nav settings all good now. Thank you for your help have a good day
Thank you for the video. My question is: Is it possible to disable ALL radar propagating from the vehicle? In other words, can the car go completely dark and not externally output RF (radio frequency) at all? Specifically for the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
are you supposed to turn off the pre-collision system when going through a car wash? the manual says it may get activated when you are going through a car wash
no. the pre collision system only activates when closing distances show an imminent wreck at speeds over 7 mph. the thing you need to shit off is the ics system. this video explains that. th-cam.com/video/xPjwTtAY1co/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2019 Rav4, is there a way to turn off the Icy road alert? Every time the temp dips below 37 F I get a chime that alerts me of possible icy roads and I find it destracting and useless becasue it doesn't even have to be wet out and it activates the alert.
How do I hit the economy switch for the best fuel economy? I have a 2020 RAV. It used to get around 40 mpg when travelling down I-85 to see my daughter. I took it to the Toyota Center for it's required oil change, & when I got it back I eventually noticed the mechanic had changed the settings. Now I get an average of 30 mpg. It says in the manual if I have it in anything other than D, I will not get the economy mileage. I always drive in D. Then it says to hit the normal mode selector, or economy. Where and how do I access the economy mode? Thanks, Lindsey
@@stevenwelchtoyotaYeah, I've mashed that. I can't really tell if it is working. Is there any way to tell if it is working since it has no light? The vehicle has less than 20k on it.
I just got a 2021 Corolla SE and this video helped me navigate the safety sense screens better. Though I can't seem to find where it shows me the last seen speed limit...are all these Safety Sense systems on by default?
I passed out while driving in my 2018 Rav4 and when I woke up my vehicle was pointed to a tree , I never left the road , i had crossed the center line the transmission was still in gear but the motor was not running . So it must’ve locked the brakes and shut off the engine ? Best thing you can have on a vehicle.
Steve - I just got a 2020 hybrid RAV4 XSE and wondering is there a volume control on these monitors as I get no beeping or any warning when I get close to a building or backing into my garage- I can see I’m getting close obviously on the camera- but no warning beeps. Try to find answers in manual but no success
I have recently added a hitch to mount my bike rack. First time out, i had to remove the bike and put it in the car because the auto brake kept engaging. Will this stop if i turn off the RCTA?
Do you know if there’s any way to turn off the automatic shut off for the Tacoma’s? Whenever I start my truck through the app or with my key fob it’ll run until I unlock the door then everything shuts off
Just got a pre-owned 2018 Camry SXE. When we pull into garage it keeps employing brakes and warning system because it picks up the items in front and beside us. How do we disable it when pulling into garage? And then re-arm it for every-day driving?
Very helpful. Is there a way to turn off the seatbelt chime? The 2020 toyota corolla that my daughter just got will beep for even a small purse sitting on the backseat. I don't know why its even mistaking a light bag for a person. Its highly annoying.
When on pre ignition 2020 Corolla hatchback all the icons are on briefly, then disappear which is normal. I notice The pre collision icon shows OFF. Does it automatically become active when the engine is started?
if it stays where it is off while driving then it is disabled but if it illuminates and then goes off it is engaged. you can check your settings screen on the center screen to be sure
I bought a 2021 camry TRD and I tried to follow the instructions I found from other people to turn off the seatbelt alarm but it did not work. Do you know how to do that and if it changed for this model year or this model/trim? thanks.
I want to buy a Toyota for these safety features. Do I have to be on cruise control to have PCS on? I mean on the normal daily driving without cruise control on. Is the pre collision system on?
I just bought my Rav 4 2019 10mths ago and the backup camera sensor doesn't beep. It was working before but I don't know if by mistake I hit a button and turn it off . Help please will read comments
This is probably a stupid question but once you turn off all the safety stuff, does it stay off until you change it again or does it revert back to functioning with each new trip? Thanks! Great vid btw!
It remembers your last setting for the lane departure. The radar cruise will be on radar cruise at the furthest safety setting when you arm cruise. You have to arm cruise every time.
Great video, thanks! I can't find an answer to this question anywhere so I'm hoping you can help. A few times this weekend my Rav4 hybrid started beeping like crazy when I turned it off. I had nothing open or on so I don't know what caused it. I turned the car back on and then off again and it stopped. What could that have been?
Hi Steve, great video thank you! I have a RAV4 cruiser hybrid 2020 (secondhand) My son says I have to turn off all sensors before a car wash, could you show me the easiest way or if I need to, thanks kindly look forward to looking at your other helpful videos :)
Hi Steve...I just bought a new 2021 RAV4 (gas model). I've noticed a water puddle towards the front passenger side under the vehicle after turning my AC on. Do you think that is normal?
Very helpful. Thank you. I have a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and the other day the whole message area flashed red and it beeped. The dealership said my car is fine and they weren't sure why I was getting this message. Do you? Thx.
RAV4 2018 mine did the same, I was approaching a car turning right at an intersection and I thought I was far enough back as the car was turning not so according to the sensor and I got the big RED screen alerting me. It works albeit a little sensitive. I can see how it should help distracted driving.
You skimmed over the operation of the PCS. How to adjust car length avoidance were not mentioned. How do I set up if I want to avoid cars at one, two, or three car lengths????
if I was to turn all (and i do mean ALL) of these settings off, would they be back on again next time I turn the car on? meaning if I wanted them always off, I'd have to turn them off all over again every time I turn on the car?
@@stevenwelchtoyota do you know how to turn the seatbelt chime off on a 2013 Camry I’m working on it and it’s getting annoying having to put seatbelt on just to move it around in the garage
@@andrewhalas9086 that one should time out after a few minutes. I know a guy cut the piece that inserts into the buckle out of a junk car. His reason for it was that he drove around a farm alot and was in and out. Always wear your seatbelt on the road
Is there a minimum distance for the acc or drcc? For example, if there was a partial obstruction within or less than 12 inches of the sensor will this effect how this reacts? Particularly in the 4runner with said sensor in the grill.
It uses the radar in the grill in combination with the camera in the windshield to make sure it is fail safe. I would have to research the particulars but I believe if it is unsure it leaves the driver in control. I have heard of no accidental braking from a sensor being covered. It watches for closing distance. Definitely consult your owners manual but I dont see it being an issue
Hey Steve, I just bought a used 2021 Rav4 XLE with about 1,500 miles and every time I start the engine I receive this announcement. "Communication module activation failed. Please make sure you are in an area with good cellular coverage and try again. If you continue to receive this message contact your dealer." Any idea what might cause this?
It's the data communications module. It uses cell phone signals to communicate via the SMS system. Not your phone. It is losing its signal. You may be in a bad cell area. Here is a video explaining it. th-cam.com/video/Gb3wqYknrcI/w-d-xo.html
Yes very informative 👍 But I have a question about my LDA. When I turn it off, it still shows its on standard mode and still assists me. And everytime I turn my car off and on I always have to switch it to off. It does not stay programed like all my other functions I have set. Do u know how to permanently take this off?
Sure. The settings are on the center screen in the center of your instrument cluster. Go to the gear icon. Scroll down to RCTA and BSM and switch them to on
In my neighborhood there’s a turn where my collision system regularly misfires when I have to take a left and cars are coming at me. It then slams the breaks right when I’m in front of traffic and nearly kills me semi-regularly. I want to turn these features off so I can drive out of the way of traffic, but every time I turn it off it turns back on after I shut it off-the next time I’m in the car I have to shut them off all over again. Is there a way to keep these off permanently??
Steve, I just bought Sienna XLE 2022 and my driving does not recharge the hybrid batteries all the way. Can I plug an intelligent charger overnight to have a full charge for the next day thanks Yves
Why your light indicator is ON in dashboard when headlight is in Auto mode at the beginning of your video between time 1:44 and 1:50, other RAV4 doesn’t show that indicator in auto mode at day time.
My pre-colision system is on yet the button on the steering wheel does nothing when I press it nor do I get any warning when I am approaching vehicles in front of me (or any brakes are applied for me). Is there any other setting I am supposed to turn on to make the PCS work? Or is it malfunctioning? I have no warning lights or messages displayed.
Hi Steve, I have a 2021 CHR. I find the pre collision safety system is very alert. (it goes off too frequently for my liking) Is there a sensitivity control for it?
Depends on the vehicle. If it has rear sonar sensors and rear braking it will. Some dont have it, some notify and some brake. Here is a video to explain the one with braking th-cam.com/video/xPjwTtAY1co/w-d-xo.html
If I go through a car wash my Rav4 2020 limited hybrid brakes when the rolling scrubbers at the front of the car approach. Do I turn off the PCS system first?
Just bought a new 2021 RAV4. Can I use the menu to remove the bsm feature without losing other features? The green letters are super annoying. I've driven my whole life without bsm, don't need it now.
Hi Steven, i was driving my toyota raw4 last night on the highway on minus 40 degrees and LTA system was pup up and the car stopped driving due to the weather condition I pulled over and left the car on there. I need to go today there to try to bring it home. Can you help me to know how can i turn off the lta system!?
Thanks a lot for the video Steve! Is a 2020 Toyota Camry that is AWD better or worth it to make the purchase over a 2020 FWD Camry? Location..South GA.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Can i place a hoop bunper in the front grill of a 2021 4 runner? It may block that annoying sensor..or do i just shut it off every time i start the truck
I would be careful with the safety equipment. It's there to help. That being said you can disable it if you choose but would have to disable it every time for the pre collision system and radar cruise control
Videos like this are sure a lot easier than trying to make sense out of the manual. Thank you.

Did he ever answer this question? My 2021 rav4 xle no longer beeps while backing up and I can't figure out why.
My automatic car was instructions are to turn off all pre-collision systems and auto windshield wipers. Should I turn off blind spot monitoring as well? Scary to go through some of these car washes with everything on!😮
Hi. Thank you for an excellent video. Is it possible for me to get the Street Sign Detection or Speed Limit sign on my 2017 RAV 4? Thanks
It's not no. You have to have safety sense 2.0 and it's not available until 2019 on the rav4
Hi I still didn’t find the answer to my question I have a 2018 Camry se that’s Canadian and I am obliged to have the same lights in day and night and the normal light with led is always open unless I turn it off put on the brake and turn it back on then it’s only the led which is exactly what I want but after I release the brake and want to move with the car it changes light automatically and both light and led are on and I don’t want that
Hi Steve
If for some reason you leave a door open does the dashboard lights will go out at some point or the open door alert will stay on until you go back to the car?
Thank you! I am a little concern about the battery life on my hybrid, I went to work and didn't pay attention but I left one door open :(
It should shut off to save the battery. Keep in mind the lights are not controlled by the hybrid battery they are controlled by the regulator 12 bold battery
Thank you very helpful.😁👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your video. We just got a 2021 Toyota Corola Hybrid for our daughter, do you know if it comes with the safety sense ? I see the button on the wheel but not sure it works.. Also do any toyota Corola's have parking assist? Like when you are parking to know when you are too close. Not sure the exact name for the feature on my audi q7 that's the name. Thank you again..
the corolla wont have park assist. the corolla has safety sense 2.0
Hi, thanks for this helpful video. Is there a way to turn off the seatbelt chime? When someone in the front or back seat is buckled up and for some reason they unbuckle it starts beeping. Can't find in the settings. Its 2020 Highlander. Thanks a lot
It has a weight sensor and looks for weight in the seat. If there is weight in the seat and the buckle is unbuckled it will chime
@@stevenwelchtoyota Thanks for your quick response. I was thinking about it. It's just annoying when you do uber and not all the passengers are wearing seatbelt
@@vzedginidze I understand that. It's a safety feature
Hi do I turn of the chime without taking out the weight or sensor in the seat?
The only reason I ever want to turn off my pre-collision system, is when I’m about to go through an automatic car wash w/ brushes & rollers coming bat the car from all directions. Rain sensing wipers need to be turned off too or one may get ripped right off the car w/a heavy leather like strap roller going over the vehicle. Also, I get a warning to not keep my car in neutral, even long enough to get off the automatic track
you are correct about the wipers but the collision system only activates over 7 miles per hour. for a car wash you disable the ICS Intelligent clearance system
Hey Steve thanks for some of your input input I learned where some of the stuff was as I was trying to fix my problem
Where would I look when my blindspot monitor and rear cross traffic alert are unavailable
What does that mean how do I reset it
I don't have the dash button to clear the problem
Blind spot settings are in the settings menu
Thx Steve for your help in understanding my 2021 Rav4 xle that I just picked up yesterday. Wow is all I can say! Bare with me on the linho plz.
How to you turn off the beeping and keep the lights on on the OUTER rear/ side mirror. On the door? Drives me crazy especially on the freeway. Help, sos!!!
Hit the button on the right side of the steering wheel that looks like a car leaving its lane
Hi I live in Australia & just purchased a 2019 RAV 4 GXL. Thanks for the video was very helpful. Can u please tell me how I turn off the voice prompt for obeying road rules. I am a careful driver & have all the safety features on but the voice prompt even comes on when I am using radar cruise. I went into the navigation system settings to turn off the school zone alert which prompted me through out the whole day. Is the setting for the obey road rules in the same area? Hoping u can help me thank you as I have looked at the owners manual & am lost & will have to go back to my Toyota dealer as the prompt is driving me crazy thanks again
Do you mean navigation info? You might have some differences in Australia if not
Hi I accessed the navigation settings on the tablet screen using the menu button then went into advanced navigation settings which is where I found the driver prompt section which is where I turned off the school zone voice. This section is where u can toggle other prompts on & off such as accident zones etc
Hello I took my RAV to the dealer & they changed the speed limit settings in the advanced sat nav settings all good now. Thank you for your help have a good day
Thank you for the video. My question is: Is it possible to disable ALL radar propagating from the vehicle? In other words, can the car go completely dark and not externally output RF (radio frequency) at all? Specifically for the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
If you mean cut off all of the safety sense. Yes
Thanks Steve great info . What kind of sensor that sounding when I’m reversing my car after loading my bike in the carrier I want that off..TIA
This is your answer th-cam.com/video/xPjwTtAY1co/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to keep the radar cruise control off to where it doesn't reset everytime I turn off the car and turn it back on? Thanks!
It always reverts to dynamic cruise.
are you supposed to turn off the pre-collision system when going through a car wash? the manual says it may get activated when you are going through a car wash
no. the pre collision system only activates when closing distances show an imminent wreck at speeds over 7 mph. the thing you need to shit off is the ics system. this video explains that. th-cam.com/video/xPjwTtAY1co/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2019 Rav4, is there a way to turn off the Icy road alert? Every time the temp dips below 37 F I get a chime that alerts me of possible icy roads and I find it destracting and useless becasue it doesn't even have to be wet out and it activates the alert.
How do I hit the economy switch for the best fuel economy? I have a 2020 RAV. It used to get around 40 mpg when travelling down I-85 to see my daughter. I took it to the Toyota Center for it's required oil change, & when I got it back I eventually noticed the mechanic had changed the settings. Now I get an average of 30 mpg. It says in the manual if I have it in anything other than D, I will not get the economy mileage. I always drive in D. Then it says to hit the normal mode selector, or economy. Where and how do I access the economy mode? Thanks, Lindsey
Buttons directly behind the shifter say eco normal and sport
@@stevenwelchtoyotaYeah, I've mashed that. I can't really tell if it is working. Is there any way to tell if it is working since it has no light? The vehicle has less than 20k on it.

I passed out while driving in my 2018 Rav4 and when I woke up my vehicle was pointed to a tree , I never left the road , i had crossed the center line the transmission was still in gear but the motor was not running . So it must’ve locked the brakes and shut off the engine ? Best thing you can have on a vehicle.
Wow

Steve - I just got a 2020 hybrid RAV4 XSE and wondering is there a volume control on these monitors as I get no beeping or any warning when I get close to a building or backing into my garage- I can see I’m getting close obviously on the camera- but no warning beeps. Try to find answers in manual but no success
it does not have that system on it
Great video. Helpful. Tnx.

I have recently added a hitch to mount my bike rack. First time out, i had to remove the bike and put it in the car because the auto brake kept engaging. Will this stop if i turn off the RCTA?

Hi Steve! Is there a way to turn off backseat passenger seatbelt alarm? I can’t put anything in the backseats without it beeping like crazy. Thanks!
plug in the seat belts.
Do you know if there’s any way to turn off the automatic shut off for the Tacoma’s? Whenever I start my truck through the app or with my key fob it’ll run until I unlock the door then everything shuts off
It's a safety feature. It works that way
Just got a pre-owned 2018 Camry SXE. When we pull into garage it keeps employing brakes and warning system because it picks up the items in front and beside us. How do we disable it when pulling into garage? And then re-arm it for every-day driving?

Very helpful. Is there a way to turn off the seatbelt chime? The 2020 toyota corolla that my daughter just got will beep for even a small purse sitting on the backseat. I don't know why its even mistaking a light bag for a person. Its highly annoying.
It looks for weight in the seat. I would suggest plugging in the seatbelt
When on pre ignition 2020 Corolla hatchback all the icons are on briefly, then disappear which is normal. I notice The pre collision icon shows OFF. Does it automatically become active when the engine is started?
if it stays where it is off while driving then it is disabled but if it illuminates and then goes off it is engaged. you can check your settings screen on the center screen to be sure
Can the backup camera be programmed to display when activating a right turn? I have a 2021 rav4 prime se.
ivat
Not possible no
I bought a 2021 camry TRD and I tried to follow the instructions I found from other people to turn off the seatbelt alarm but it did not work. Do you know how to do that and if it changed for this model year or this model/trim? thanks.
You just need to plug in the seatbelt
I want to buy a Toyota for these safety features.
Do I have to be on cruise control to have PCS on?
I mean on the normal daily driving without cruise control on. Is the pre collision system on?
Cruise control does not have any effect on the pre collision
I just bought my Rav 4 2019 10mths ago and the backup camera sensor doesn't beep. It was working before but I don't know if by mistake I hit a button and turn it off . Help please will read comments
This is probably a stupid question but once you turn off all the safety stuff, does it stay off until you change it again or does it revert back to functioning with each new trip? Thanks! Great vid btw!
the answer is yes and no. some does stay off like the cruise control and land departure and the auto high beams. the others will revert to on
@@stevenwelchtoyota Thanks for the response, Steven!
@@johnmontana8540 no problem
Do you have to turn on the Lane assist /radar everytime you turn on the vehicle or does it automatically stay on and remember the settings?
It remembers your last setting for the lane departure. The radar cruise will be on radar cruise at the furthest safety setting when you arm cruise. You have to arm cruise every time.
Great video, thanks! I can't find an answer to this question anywhere so I'm hoping you can help. A few times this weekend my Rav4 hybrid started beeping like crazy when I turned it off. I had nothing open or on so I don't know what caused it. I turned the car back on and then off again and it stopped. What could that have been?
Do you have a dash camera?
Hi Steve, great video thank you!

Hi Steve...I just bought a new 2021 RAV4 (gas model). I've noticed a water puddle towards the front passenger side under the vehicle after turning my AC on. Do you think that is normal?
it is most likely condensation and normal
Very helpful. Thank you. I have a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and the other day the whole message area flashed red and it beeped. The dealership said my car is fine and they weren't sure why I was getting this message. Do you? Thx.
It sensed that you were about to hit something. It could be due to a late merge
RAV4 2018 mine did the same, I was approaching a car turning right at an intersection and I thought I was far enough back as the car was turning not so according to the sensor and I got the big RED screen alerting me. It works albeit a little sensitive. I can see how it should help distracted driving.
@@richardtaylor7485 yup
You skimmed over the operation of the PCS. How to adjust car length avoidance were not mentioned. How do I set up if I want to avoid cars at one, two, or three car lengths????
It's not car length based for the pcs it is sensitivity based
if I was to turn all (and i do mean ALL) of these settings off, would they be back on again next time I turn the car on? meaning if I wanted them always off, I'd have to turn them off all over again every time I turn on the car?
woops nevermind just saw you answered this already in an earlier comment.
thanks

@@andrewhalas9086 that one should time out after a few minutes. I know a guy cut the piece that inserts into the buckle out of a junk car. His reason for it was that he drove around a farm alot and was in and out. Always wear your seatbelt on the road
Is there a minimum distance for the acc or drcc? For example, if there was a partial obstruction within or less than 12 inches of the sensor will this effect how this reacts? Particularly in the 4runner with said sensor in the grill.
It uses the radar in the grill in combination with the camera in the windshield to make sure it is fail safe. I would have to research the particulars but I believe if it is unsure it leaves the driver in control. I have heard of no accidental braking from a sensor being covered. It watches for closing distance. Definitely consult your owners manual but I dont see it being an issue
Hey Steve, I just bought a used 2021 Rav4 XLE with about 1,500 miles and every time I start the engine I receive this announcement. "Communication module activation failed. Please make sure you are in an area with good cellular coverage and try again. If you continue to receive this message contact your dealer." Any idea what might cause this?
It's the data communications module. It uses cell phone signals to communicate via the SMS system. Not your phone. It is losing its signal. You may be in a bad cell area. Here is a video explaining it. th-cam.com/video/Gb3wqYknrcI/w-d-xo.html

In my neighborhood there’s a turn where my collision system regularly misfires when I have to take a left and cars are coming at me. It then slams the breaks right when I’m in front of traffic and nearly kills me semi-regularly. I want to turn these features off so I can drive out of the way of traffic, but every time I turn it off it turns back on after I shut it off-the next time I’m in the car I have to shut them off all over again. Is there a way to keep these off permanently??
You cant shut them off permanently but you can lower the sensitivity
Thanks so much

What if you drive into something stationary, like a rock or wall? Will the precollision work?
nothing is 100% but the system may be activated by glass, mirrors, wals, doors, fences, shutters, ets
