Toyota RAV4: 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:
1 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.
2 Shift the shift lever to N.
If the shift lever is shifted to N
3 After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
4 Stop the engine.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to N
3 Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehicle speed as much as possible.
Vehicles without a smart key system: Stop the engine by turning the engine switch to the “ACC” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Stop the engine by pressing and holding the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for 3 consecutive seconds or more.
5 Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.

doing so will lock the steering wheel.
