If the driver wishes to let the last door closed locking
feature complete the locking of the vehicle, no
additional action is required. The last door closed
locking feature will lock the doors automatically after
all the doors have been closed for a period of five
seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
described previously are again available.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the last door
closed locking feature as described previously or to
completely disable the last door closed locking feature at
all times. If disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch is pressed. The last door
closed locking feature is customized when the driver
performs the following sequence with the doors closed
and the ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.
2. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will turn the last door closed locking feature on
or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the last door closed locking feature is
off, and two chimes will be heard if the last door
closed locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The last door closed locking feature is enabled when the
vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete the last door closed locking feature.

is released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
RAV lock mode.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete any previously programmed modes.Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the remote
keyless entry system. The interior illumination will be
activated when an remote keyless entry door unlock
command is received. The ignition must be off for the
remote activation illumination to work. The interior
lamps will illuminate until the ignition is turned to
ON or until the illumination period of 40 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the
interior lamps will remain on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.

Parade Mode
The instrument panel brightness control has an added
feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are
on in the daylight. Without turning the courtesy lamps
on, turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way to the top. The radio, season/trip odometer,
gearshift selection indicator on the instrument panel
cluster and the heating and air conditioning controls will
come on at their maximum brightness. This will occur
only with the parking lamps or headlamps on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by turning the interior lamps dial all the way
up or by turning on each individual lamp.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON, so
the lamps will dim out right away. When the ignition is
on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the
courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened.
Illumination on Door Handle Activation
Illumination on door handle activation is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by allowing the driver to activate the
vehicle interior illumination without unlocking or
opening any vehicle door.
The ignition must be off and the doors locked for the
illumination on door handle activation to work. The
illumination on door handle activation feature can
function in two ways.

-point compass display in
the upper corner of the mirror face. When the compass
display is turned on, the compass automatically
calibrates as the vehicle is driven.The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing the IO button located on the lower part of the
mirror. Press and hold the IO button for up to three
seconds to turn this feature on or off.
The compass display feature is turned on or off by
pressing the IO button for three seconds or more.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror housing.
Compass Calibration
To place the compass into calibration mode, press both
map lamp buttons and hold for over eight seconds until the
letter ªCº is displayed in the mirror compass window.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:

Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display indicates a direction, or

drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.

The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

3-7 Manual Control of the Automatic System
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle, set the system to the
temperature and fan speed you want. Next, push the mode
button to select your desired airflow direction. The system
will try to maintain the temperature you set using the
mode you select. The following suggestions will help the
system run more efficiently in manual mode.
Fan Button
: The button below the display is used to manually
select the force of air you want. The display will show
the fan speed. Fan control is no longer automatic, but
the system remains in auto temperature control.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan knob is
turned to the highest setting regardless of the mode
setting, your passenger compartment air filter (if
equipped) may need to be replaced. See ªMaintenance
Scheduleº in the Index.
A/C Button
Press the A/C button to turn the compressor on and off.
AUTO will then be extinguished, but system will
maintain auto air delivery and auto blower.Econ Button
If your vehicle is equipped
with this button, you can
turn the compressor on
and off.
Press the ECON button to turn the compressor on
and off. The indicator light is illuminated when the
compressor is off. AUTO will be not be illuminated, but
the system will maintain automatic air delivery and
blower control. The system will attempt to control the
temperature without the help of the compressor.

3-9
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, use UPPER and
RECIRC. If this setting is used for long periods of time,
the air in your vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use UPPER and
OUTSIDE AIR with the A/C button (if equipped)
pushed in. The system will bring in outside air and
cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI
-LEV with the A/C button (if equipped)
pushed in. The system will bring in outside air and
direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice this
temperature difference more at some times than others.Heating
On cold days use LOWER. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0
F (
-18
C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See ªEngine Coolant
Heaterº in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use UPPER, ECON (if equipped) and
OUTSIDE AIR to direct outside air through your
vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow
-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use your
DEFROST button. To warm passengers while keeping
the windows clean, use DEFOG by pressing the
MODE button.
