Below we will see the instructions that will allow us to activate and deactivate the 4x4 all-wheel drive of the Toyota RAV 4. First of all, we get into the car and start the engine; we find the activation and deactivation button for the all-wheel drive on the left side of the dashboard, next to the steering wheel, as shown in the video.

By pressing the button, we will then check the engagement of the all-wheel drive; when the yellow light on the instrument panel is on, it means that the all-wheel drive is deactivated, on the other hand, the 4x4 drive will be engaged.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
