In this tutorial, we can see how to deactivate the Start & Stop feature in the Toyota RAV4, an extremely simple and quick operation to be carried out in case we find the system too intrusive. First of all, let's go inside the car, then insert the key and start the vehicle.

Next, we locate the button with a circled "A" and the word "OFF" on it, located in the central console, and press it. The lighting of the corresponding LED will indicate that the system has been successfully deactivated. This operation is not permanent but needs to be repeated at each vehicle start-up.
