- Which are you? I hope you’re on the right side of history…..
- Looking for a dealership near me that is not “LITHIA”
Poverty button is the best definition I have ever seen concerning such buttons. 
The only thing you’re missing is the Technology package which gives you the birds eye view 360 camera. You will always have one 1 “poverty button”
my husband has a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XSE. your left blank would be the 360° camera; and, the right blank is the ODO/Trip button (because his has the 12.3” gauge cluster screen). it maddens me that he has zero poverty buttons but my fully loaded ‘23 Venza Limited has one! because Venza isn’t offered with the wiper de-icer. lol
‘Poverty Buttons’ lol…I love it
“View” is one of them
Is this what we’re all doing now? Just agreeing to call them poverty buttons?
1. Toggle thru Birds-eye view camera displays
2. Heated steering wheel.
Edit: sorry didn’t see you already have a heated wheel button. They appear to have added a button!
In Japan you can buy after-market buttons and add more functions to your car. You can just pop those out and replace it with and actual button / usb/hdmi female port
More electrical issues? I love my 2022 le awd. Simple and solid. I think toyota is better after a couple years of new tech. There screens are better and electrical is better then the 2019 and 2020
One of them may cover a screw that holds part of the dash onto the car.
In my rav4 prime its 360 camera view and 120V/1500W AC for the home power plug in the trunk
What I want to know is — what are the two buttons under the steering wheel that I can feel — but apparently do nothing when pressed?
Birds Eye view camera is one you’re missing here.
Here, I made a post a long time ago about this.

I’m guessing Toyota just uses that “1 size fits most” bezel for most of it’s vehicles, and just installs whatever accessories to plug in for what the trim spec calls for.
Man I hate these. I have the top of the line trim level and I have like 4 of these. I think some are for automatic only models and maybe other markets too
Ejecto-seato
My guess is BSM (blind spot monitoring) and Parking sensors (cone with wifi signal).
Another thing could be lane departure assist but I feel like those are standard safety features in Toyotas nowadays (but so was BSM I thought)
Camera view & Trip Odometer
just a free slot for whatever you want
Well looks like the only poverty I see is your bank account not allowing you the extra funds to get a top trim to get the extra specs for said “poverty” button.
Left one Birds Eye view
Right one 120v plug switch
People acting like stock manufacturers options are high class or something lol. Toyota makes a ton of of vehicles with a ton of swappable parts. You ain’t missing shit, welcome to Toyota.
Lol that heated steering wheel button is in such a shitty spot
These units are common across all markets. There may be something that your country doesn’t have that others do,
Optional extras maybe placed there too, if there are any, or alternatively it’s not unheard of for lower trims to have some stuff that is superseded by the higher one and use different buttons on the panel, other things may be if you’ve got the “Luxury Model” but there’s things that they include on a “Sport Model” although I’m not sure if the Rav 4 has that but there’s plenty of reasons
My current RAV4 has 7 of these. I must be really poor.
Fog lights or you can add a button, I have a starlight on my headliner and added a button to turn off and on.
You are missing the 360 view camera button and and the parking sonar buttons.
This is the first time I’ve heard of this term “poverty button” am I missing out on some inside joke here in the Toyota? Why are you calling it a poverty button?
A reminder from Toyota that you don’t have a Lexus
No one wants a heated steering wheel living in Southern Arizona. We use that slot for our liquid cooling steering wheel engagement button it has a blue light rather than a red light.
Tire pressure gauge?
I’ve always known them as “your car could be better buttons”
