The transmission and the shifter within the cabin are linked together via a Shift Cable, allowing the driver to transition from one gear to another smoothly. This provides versatility to the RAV4. In the early RAV4 models, which were fitted with manual floor gear levers, there was a dual Shift Cable assembly that helped to couple the console-mounted shifter with the front-wheel drive transaxle, thus providing an H-pattern shifting. In automatic variants, there was a single selector Shift Cable linking the console lever and the transmission manual arm, using the standardized PRNDL order and providing additional protection against accidental shifts through a spring loaded button on the handle and ignition brake interlock. Over time, the crossover evolved, but the company retained the cable for traditional automatics as some modern Toyota crossovers are now using electronic shift by wire types. In this case, sensors inside the lever command a motorized actuator. While this does away with the mechanical Shift Cable, it gives a familiar feel. When a Shift Cable is stretched or breaks, the cable may become loose or prevent a Toyota driver from moving a Toyota RAV4 out of gear.
