254 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Daytime running light system (if equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime run-
ning lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and
then the parking brake is released. (However, the daytime running
light system will be canceled when the headlight switch is operated
manually or the automatic headlight system turns on the tail lights.)
Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
Deactivating/reactivating the daytime running light system
Follow the procedure below.
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Turn the engine
switch to the “ON” position. Turn off the headlights, tail lights
and automatic headlights system, and set the parking brake.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode. Turn off the
headlights, tail lights and automatic headlights system, and
set the parking brake.
Start the engine.
You must perform step 3 within 5 seconds of starting the engine.
Push the headlight switch for-
ward and pull it back to the cen-
ter position. (Repeat this
operation 3 times or more.)
A buzzer will sound to indicate that the daytime running light system
has been deactivated/reactivated.

255 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
2
When driving
If any of the following occurs during the deactivation/reactivation opera-
tion, the deactivation/reactivation operation will be canceled:
• The engine is turned off.
• The parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is moving.
• The headlights are turned on.
• The tail lights are turned on.
• The automatic headlight system is turned on.
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if
anything 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.

lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased con-
tinually until the lever is released.
Canceling and resuming the constant speed control

celed when the brakes are
applied or the clutch pedal

When driving
Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The shift lever is in “R”.
Sensor detection information
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing
ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is
installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angles objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle
