Friend of ours has a 2005 Highlander, similar, light came on and it was the spare. But went out after filling. One thing, i'd be very interested in hearing what they say about hesitation. Not sure if yours is as pronounced as mine on a few occasions where virtually no pedal response. Hesitation itself sucks, but those few experiences were dangerous (in the right situation). I've reported concerns to NHTSA. If it's to save gas, i'll take 22 versus 23 mpg if thats what it takes.

I believe they are sensors for the auto-light system.

I have daytime running lights, but as far as i know nothing automatic. Could be "BIG BROTHER WATCHING ME" thru a tiny camera.

Check back through earlier postings, I believe someone had the answer. I think one of the is for the alarm. If you have a Limited, I think the other one has something to do with the automatic climate control.

I think that this may be a misunderstanding of Toyota's system. If you go to a site like Donlen now you can see when the '07's will hit the stores. The exact date may be decided soon.
For all vehicles there is a central marshalling yard for each region. For the RAV it's Port Newark for the Boston, NY and CAT regions. The vehicles may begin to arrive and wait there until just before the official launch date. It's up to the local stores to make sure that all the previous MY inventory is gone by the launch date of the new MY vehicles.

You may not have it, but one of the buttons (the larger one) is a sensor for the auto-light feature (not DRLs). It will sense the exterior lighting and turn on your headlights when required. Check your headlight button to see if you have the setting (it's one little turn past headlight on). The manual indicates that nothing should be placed on the sensor (pretty logical). The other button may be for the remote keyless entry. Placing a rag over it and trying the remote could confirm it.

Don't have RAV4 but on Highlanders the tire warning light is activated not by tire pressure but rotation. The anti-lock wheel speed sensors are used to detect if a tire has a different rotation speed than the others. If so, the tire warning light will come on. This system will not detect if all 4 tires are low on pressure.This may be same system in RAV4. Reset prodedure would be in owner's manual.

The '06 Rav4 wheel transmitters work on pressure, read the TPMS link from the factory service manual I posted yesterday.
DESCRIPTION
A direct-sensing type tire pressure warning system has been newly provided as standard equipment on the U.S.A. models.
If the vehicle continues to be driven with one or more of the five tires inflated to a low tire pressure that
could cause problems in driving, this system will illuminate the tire pressure warning light to inform the
driver of the low tire pressure.
Furthermore, this system directly senses the each tire pressure through a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter that is attached to each wheel.
