There's a reason when you start any RAV4 from the 2000s and any RAV4 from the 2020s with a gasoline engine, the revs are very high (above 2000) for almost 2 minutes. You are not supposed to shift into any gear and start moving until the revs drop below 1000 on ANY vehicle. Even if you wait for the RPMs to drop below 1000, you shouldn't step hard on the accelerator pedal for the first 10 to 15 minutes of driving especially after a cold night or a whole day of not moving your car at your workplace. This not only protects your engine, this also warms up the transmission and even helps an older slipping transmission shift into gear faster.
