This factory service and repair manual is written to the 2000 Toyota RAV4 exactly as it was built — the 2.0L four-cylinder (3S-FE) and the trim and equipment your vehicle left the line with — so the clearances, torque values and tightening sequences in it are the ones Toyota published for this car, not figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2000 RAV4. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, NHTSA campaign 20V033000, and it concerns the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module: in the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the inflator may rupture. The campaign reached certain 1998-2000 RAV4, 1998-1999 RAV4 EV and Celica, and 1997-1998 Supra vehicles. Owners have registered 34 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 48 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are inspecting the air bag system, chasing one of the faults behind those 34 complaints or working through a routine service on the 2.0L four-cylinder, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for this 2000 RAV4.
