What is the ect button for a rav4 Toyota1998?

ECT stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. The ECT button on your 1998 Toyota RAV4 is used to engage the transmission's "power mode." This mode alters the transmission's shift points, causing it to shift gears at higher RPMs. This can be useful for towing, climbing hills, or passing other vehicles.

To use the ECT button, simply press it when you want to engage power mode. The button is located on the center console, next to the shifter. When the ECT button is engaged, the indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate.

The ECT button can be turned off at any time by pressing it again. The transmission will then return to its normal shift pattern.

Here are some additional tips for using the ECT button:

* Use power mode only when necessary. Prolonged use of power mode can reduce fuel efficiency and increase wear and tear on the transmission.

* Shift to a lower gear when descending steep hills. This will help to prevent the transmission from overheating.

* If you are towing a trailer, use power mode to help the transmission cope with the extra weight.

* The ECT button can also be used to improve acceleration in slippery conditions.
