Just came back with our daughter in her 2018 Rav4 Hybrid and out of no where every time she would stop there is a loud buzzing tone and on the display screen it keeps saying check parking assist.
We've gone through the menu and can't see anything that can switch it off or reset it, if you can so haven't a clue what's causing it all of a sudden?

Thanks Bob but none of those were showing on the dash. As soon as we stopped the continuous loud tone would start while in drive and it would show the car on the display screen saying check parking assist. She does have front and rear parking sensors and they do go off when parking too close to something but this is going off as soon as we stop and she isn't near to anything? It is still happening this morning so she's gonna get back in touch with Toyota  |

It sounds like a parking sensor issue - though exactly what or why I can't guess. The dealer should be able to sort it quite simply ... <fingers crossed>
Alternatively, does the car of this generation have active parking support? - as in Parking Assist - where it will steer while the driver controls speed and direction. If that is the case it should be quite simple to switch it off though still for the dealer to resolve.
The owners handbook will be available through My Toyota ...

Thanks Philip but i'm not sure if her model, which is the Icon, does have the active parking support as it didn't come with the handbook, but the dealers are supposed to be getting one for her which hasn't arrived yet? Well the buzzing continued all yesterday and when she drove off this morning it had stopped but she has got it booked in at Toyota this morning for them to have a look so will see what they come up with :TU: |

Daughter took her Rav to the local Toyota dealer yesterday morning they had it for about an hour and they checked all the sensors and all seems to be fine as they couldn't find any faults, though they did say it could be water getting in, then one of their colleagues said that they had the same issue once on another car and it turned out to be a spider and it's web setting em off?
At least it's stopped for now :yes:

Toyota no longer provide a printed owners manual. I'm not entirely sure when they stopped doing so but it may be the case that your daughter's 2018 RAV never had one in the first place. The manual(s) are downloadable via Owner's Manual - supplying the VIN ensures that you get pointed to the correct version of the manual. I find a downloaded PDF far easier to navigate and search than a printed manual ... Also, and better still, she should probably register the car with My Toyota, if she hasn't already, which will give access to whatever online services are available for her model (and the Owner's Manual)  |
