Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Owners Manual: If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
- Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow the vehicle.
- Shift the shift lever to n.
If the shift lever is shifted to n
- After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
- Stop the engine.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to n
- Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehicle speed as much as possible.

- Vehicles with a smart key system: to stop the engine, press and hold the engine switch for 2 consecutive seconds or more, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
