Washer/wiper dual operation
The wipers operate automati-
cally. (After operating several
times, the wipers operate one
more time after a short delay to
prevent dripping.)
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with ra in-sensing windshield wipers)
● If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the engine switch is
in IGNITION ON mode, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO”
mode is activated.
● When the sensor sensitivity ring is turned toward high while in “AUTO”
mode, the wipers will operate once to indicate that the sensor sensitivity is
enhanced.
● If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 185 F (85 C) or higher, or -22 F
(-30 C) or lower, the automatic operation may not occur. In this case, oper-
ate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.

■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With the low speed operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from
low speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
■ 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.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshie ld wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your
fingers etc. anything else does not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ 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 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
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged\

Driving
The pre-collision system is equipp ed with a sophisticated computer
that will record certain data, such as: • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pr e-collision system functions
• Information (such as the distanc e and relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
Additionally, if the pre-collision braking function is operating, image
information from the camera sensor will al so be recorded. The pre-
collision system does not record c onversations, sounds or pictures.
● Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the reco rded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
● Recorded image information can be erased using a specialized
device.
The image information recording function can be disabled. How-
ever, if the function is disabled, data from when the pre-collision
system operates will not be available.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
◆Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
◆Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is high, the system applies gr eater braking force in relation to
how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sen-
sor to detect vehicles and pedestrians
*1 in front of your vehicle.
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal col-
lision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to
urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake
pressure is increased to help the dr iver avoid the collision. If the
system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with
a vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied
*2 to help avoid the collision or help reduce the
impact to the vehicle occupants and the vehicle in the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning
timing can be changed. ( P. 237)
*1: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian
detection function may not be available. Contact your Toyota dealer for
details.
*2: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pre-collisionbraking function (automatic braking function) may not be available. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer for details.
