In this guide, we will see the information that will allow us to deactivate the traction control of the Toyota RAV 4. In some situations of poor grip, it may be necessary to deactivate the traction control to prevent the wheels from locking; to deactivate this system, first turn on the engine and press the traction control deactivation button that we find at the bottom of the dashboard (under the air conditioning controls), as shown in the video.

On the instrument panel, a message will appear indicating that the system has been temporarily deactivated.
