Activate Brake Assist on Rav4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

As shown in the video, activating the brake assist button is very simple. From the dashboard, locate the button, then shift the gear into position L, go below 6 miles/h and press the button; a yellow warning light will flash on the instrument panel. At that point, press the button on the dashboard and the brake assist light will illuminate on the left. Brake assist will help you on more complicated routes where it may be difficult to calibrate the vehicle's speed with the slope of the road, thus it is generally recommended for off-road or steep roads. As seen in the video.
