2019 RAV4 New Model Technical Preview

Registration
drive procedure

After operating the TPWS sensor registration (ID
registration) switch, drive
at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) for approximately 10 to 30 minutes during 1
trip. During the procedure, make 2 or more right or left turns.

If the registration is not
completed before returning the vehicle to the customer, it is important to note
that if the registration has cancelled, the same “TPWS sensor registration
in progress” announcement is displayed in the MID, and warning lamp flashes
signifying that ID registration is in still progress.

TPWS sensor registration
will be cancelled and/or registration cannot be entered if any of the following
occur:

• DTCs
  C2176, C2179 and U0129 are stored
• Techstream
  is being used to display the Data List
• The
  ignition switch is turned off before the vehicle is driven after entering
  registration mode

Registration may take
longer than normal in the following situations.

• The
  vehicle is stopped frequently
• The
  vehicle is stopped for long period of time
• The
  vehicle is driven in reverse
• The
  vehicle is driven on rough roads or uneven surfaces
• The
  vehicle is driven in close proximity to another vehicle with the same type of
  tire pressure warning valve and transmitter installed for a long period of time
• The
  vehicle was not stopped for 15 minutes or more before registration
• The
  vehicle is driven at 40 km/h (25 mph) or less for a long period of time
• The
  ignition switch is turned off during ID registration

When registration is
complete, all previously registered IDs are cleared.

Brakes

Electric Parking Brake
(EPB), Brake Hold and Active Cornering Assist (ACA) are introduced on RAV4 for
2019. Other new features for RAV4 include Secondary Collision Brake, Drive Mode
Select and Multi-Terrain Select.

Secondary
Collision Brake

The secondary collision
brake system lessens damage from a secondary collision by controlling the
automatic brakes and stop light illumination after a collision occurs.

When a collision detection
signal is received from the airbag sensor assembly while the vehicle speed is
approximately 10 km/h or more, the secondary collision brake starts operating.

Drive
Mode Select

Drive Mode Select on
hybrid models uses hybrid control in cooperation with brake control systems to
add Auto Limited Slip Differential (LSD) functionality.

Multi-Terrain
Select

Multi-terrain select is a
function that switches to the optimal control for the road conditions,
including AWD control, brake control and motive force control, when the driver
performs a switch operation to select an appropriate mode for the road conditions.
Optimal control for the road conditions is automatically performed, maintaining
driving performance and achieving superior off-road drivability. AWD control
and motive force control is newly adopted to the multi-terrain select. The
system found on Tacoma models uses engine torque output control and brake
control in each of its multi-terrain modes.

The selected multi-terrain
select mode signal is received by the 4WD ECU and sent to the ECM via CAN
communication. The ECM sends the multi-terrain select mode signal to the skid
control ECU and the ECUs of parts such as the combination meter via CAN
communication.
