New to the forum, this is my first go at a Rav4, finally decided to pull the trigger on a 2016 Rav4 SE AWD in super white with black interior. My RSX type s wasn't cutting it anymore for my outdoor life style. Hope to learn a lot from you guys on here.
Does the engine stay on with the factory remote start when you open the doors? I have a viper 5902 installed on my Acura and was planning to install a similar one on the Rav but I heard aftermarket ones turn off when you open the door.
As soon as you open the doors, the engine shuts off. I think this is a safety feature.
The car stays running only 10 minutes. You can restart it one more time, but I think 2 times is the limit.
Having the car shut off once the door opens is ridiculous...aftermarket remote starters are designed to shut off once the brake is pushed...gotta push the brake to take it out of park...
It is ridiculous haha, I guess Im just used to my RSX being a manual, when I remote started it, it would stay on when I opened the door all I had to do is throw her in first and go haha.
I am a new Rav4 owner too. I was close to buying the exact same Rav4 but was slightly torn. I really liked the blizzard white but that only came in the Limited trim level. However, I loved the way the SE handled with the sportier suspension but blizzard white was not available. I decided the SE was for me as was leaning to the super white like yours and then I saw "hot lava" in person and was shocked how much I liked it. That's the color I ended up with.
Congrats on the purchase, yea I also wanted the blizzard white because of the pearls in the paint looks really good. That hot lava definitely does pop in person, saw it on the lot when I was purchasing mine.
Hey did the door guards come installed or did you have to pay xtra for them? I bought mine after purchase on my le13 and I think they give the rav a better look. So are they now including these on new rav?
