Guide to dial settings
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the vehicle battery from discharging, if the headlights
and/or tail lights are on when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” posi-
tion (vehicles without a smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is turned off (vehicles with a smart key system) the battery
saving function will operate and automatically turn off all the lights after
approximately 20 minutes.
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the battery-saving
function will be disabled.
When any of the following are performed, the battery-saving function is can-
celed once and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20
minutes after the battery-saving function has been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated
● When a door is opened or closed
■ Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 493)
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
ning.

2-4. Using other driving systems
BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
: If equipped
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that assists the driver in making
the decision to change lanes.
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling
in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the outside rear
view mirror (the blind spot), an d advises the driver of the vehicles
existence via the outside rear view mirror indicator.
BSM main switch
Pressing the switch turns the system on or off. When the switch is set
to on, the switch’s indicator illuminates.
Outside rear view mirror indicator
When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mir-
ror indicator on that side illuminates. If the turn signal lever is operated
when a vehicle is in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indicator
flashes.

When driving
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor unnecessarily detecting a vehicle
and/or object may increase under the following conditions:
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a guard-
rail, wall etc.
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a follow- ing vehicle.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow and a vehicle driving 2 lanes across from your vehicle enters the detection area
■ The outside rear view mirror indicators visibility
When under strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be
difficult to see.
■ When there is a malfunction in the system
If a system malfunction is detected due to any of the following reasons,
warning lights will turn on: ( P. 421)
● There is a malfunction with the sensors
● The sensors have become dirty
● The outside temperature is extremely high or low
● The sensor voltage has become abnormal

CAUTION
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary system which alerts the driver
that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. The system cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over
reliance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Accord-
ing to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
■ Handling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor is installed inside the left and right side of the vehicle
rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot
Monitor can function correctly.
●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper to a strong
impact. If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may mal-
function and vehicles that enter the detection area may not be detected. If
the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have
the area inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Do not disassemble the sensor.
● Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
● Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
● Do not paint the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
●Keep the sensor and its surrounding
area on the bumper clean at all times.

CAUTION
■
While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
■ When doing the circling calibration
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the vicinity.
Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.
NOTICE
■To avoid compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.
■ To ensure normal operation of the compass
●Do not perform a circling calibration of the compass in a place where the
earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
