Refueling Guidelines
When refueling your RAV4, avoid topping off beyond the automatic shut-off point. The 14.5-gallon capacity includes a small reserve, and overfilling can damage the emissions control system. For optimal fuel economy, maintain proper tire pressure and follow recommended maintenance schedules.
