Vehicle privacy profile
The 2024 RAV4 can transmit location, driving, and vehicle-health data through Toyota Connected Services. Collection is typically active at delivery unless you opt out or request data-transmission deactivation.
Connected Services and a Data Communication Module (DCM) are common on most US trims; exact features vary by package.
