The wiper will automatically
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts.
(After operating several times,
the wiper operates one more
time after a short delay to pre-
vent dripping.)
■The rear window wiper and washer can be operated when
●Vehicles without a smart key system: The engine switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
Vehicles with a smart key system: The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
●The back window is completely closed.
■Intermittent window wiper operation
●When intermittent window wiper operation mode is selected, the wiper will
operate a couple of times and then switch to intermittent operation.
●During intermittent operation, the wiper stops temporarily at the reversing
position.

4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B23U)■When the rear window wiper and washer switch is turned off
The rear wiper will stop operation, and return to the retracted position after
approximately 3 seconds.
However, if the engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehi-
cles without a smart key system) or the engine switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY mode or turned off (vehicles with a smart key system) while the rear
wiper is operating, the rear wiper will stop at that position and will not return to
the retracted position.
■If no washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzle is not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
washer fluid reservoir.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. drip prevention function) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 485)
NOTICE
■When the rear window is dry
Do not use the wiper, as it may damage the rear window.
■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.

The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect obstacles
that are extremely close to the
vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object etc.
■Intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key system) or
the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode (with a smart key system).
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
●Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key system) or
the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode (with a smart key system).
• The shift lever is in R.

2484-5. Using the driving support systems
4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B23U)■System malfunction
In case of a system malfunction, the following may occur:
●The downhill assist control system indicator flashes in a situation other than
those listed above.
●The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key
system) or the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
a smart key system).
Have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
■Conditions which may affect the downhill assist control system opera-
tion
●Do not rely too heavily on the downhill assist control system. On extremely
steep inclines, icy surfaces or muddy roads, the vehicle may slip and the
system may not be able to maintain the constant low vehicle speed of
about 3 mph (5 km/h), leading to an accident causing death or serious
injury.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while driving forward, or to D while driving
backward. Doing so may cause the wheels to lock up, leading to an acci-
dent causing death or serious injury. In addition, excessive stress will be
applied to the automatic transmission, possibly resulting in damage.

2825-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B23U)
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
●If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in
preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling opera-
tion, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effec-
tively.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition-
ing system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine switch
is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key
system).
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
■When the indicator light on flashes
Press
to turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn it on
again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator
light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32F (0C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■When the indicator light on flashes
Press
to turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn it on
again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator
light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
