1904-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system (if equipped)
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime running
lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking
brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
● 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.
■ Headlight control sensor (vehicl es with automatic headlight system)
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after a door is opened and closed if the engine switch is turned to the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position. (The lights turn off immediately if the   button
on the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
engine switch is tuned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and the driver’s door
is opened.
Vehicles with automatic headlight system: If any of the doors is kept open, the
lights automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, or turn
the light switch off once and then back to   or  .
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the key is removed from the engine switch and the
driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■ Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
Settings (automatic light off system) can be changed. 
(Customizable features:  P. 534)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or 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. 
NOTICE
■
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.

1944-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota dealer. 
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged\
