Vehicle category N1*
*: To distinguish the vehicle category, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■ Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the
“AUTO” position. (Illuminate brighter than the front position lights.) Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)

gage room4
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.

Washer/wiper dual operation
The wiper will automatically
operate a couple of times after

■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with a rain-sensing windshield wiper)
● Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: If the wiper switch is turned to
the position while the engine switch is in the “ON” position, the wiper
will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: If the wiper switch is turned to
the position while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the
wiper will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.

● The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.

● When the sensor sensitivity ring is turned toward high while in “AUTO”
mode, the wiper will operate once to indicate that the sensor sensitivity is
enhanced.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C
(5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the
wiper in any mode other than “AUTO” mode.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzle is not blocked, if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of windshield wiper in “AUTO” mode (vehi-
cles with a rain-sensing windshield wiper)
The windshield wiper may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your
fingers, etc., do not become caught in the windshield wiper.
■ 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 wiper, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

NOTICE
■Front sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the sensor operates correctly:
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● On cold days when there is a large temperature difference between the
vehicle interior and outside air temperatures, the windshield fogs up easily.
If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor becomes fogged up
or covered with condensation or ice, the system temporarily stops working
and the PCS warning light flashes. In that case, use the front defroster to
remove the fog, condensation, or ice. ( P. 308, 317)
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. Also, even when using a glass
coating agent, if water droplets and so forth form on the windshield, use
the wipers to remove them.
The pre-crash safety system may not function properly if the windshield is
dirty or covered with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc.
If the inner side of the windshield where the front sensor is installed is dirty,
do not attempt to remove the front sensor. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration) or use a glass coating
agent.
