2017 Toyota RAV4 Convenience Technology
The Toyota RAV4 features the remote keyless entry system. This system saves you the trouble of having to dig out your keys when your hands are full, because the vehicle will unlock automatically when it senses the key is within proximity. The vehicle also features a backup camera with projected path static lines that’ll show you where your vehicle will end up based on your angle of approach while you’re driving in reverse.
Entertainment Technology
This midsize SUV comes with an assortment of great entertainment features and technology. The dashboard-mounted 6.1-inch Entune™ touchscreen allows you to access your media options with ease. Of course, you can also use the advanced voice recognition to select your preference of the radio or the CD/MP3 player by just using your voice.
You also have the option to upgrade the entertainment features to the Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected Navigation app. This bundle features GPS navigation, as well as a 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio. Not only does this feature add more than 150 different stations to your options, but it also features HD Radio™ and traffic and weather updates.
Driver-Assisting Technology
The Toyota Safety Sense™ P bundle, which comes standard, features a variety of helpful features to add more safety and control to your driving. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection utilizes radar sensors that are mounted in the front of the Toyota RAV4 to detect a possible collision. If it senses that a collision is imminent, it’ll apply enough brake pressure to illicit the driver’s reaction to actively get the vehicle to stop.
The Automatic High Beams can sense the lack of light and will activate to provide a better view before deactivating when it senses an approaching driver. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist senses when you’re drifting from your lane, and it’ll actively steer you back to your path. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is a highway driver’s dream come true by allowing a safe distance to be set, as well as speed. The distance will be maintained, despite traffic ahead slowing down.
