Driving
With the headlights on, push
the lever away from you to turn
on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the
center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high
beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the front turn signal/parking lights (bulb type) or the parking lights (LED type)
turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake
is released with the headlight switch in the “AUTO” (type A), “DRL” (type B)
or (type C) position. (Illuminate brighter than the front turn signal/
parking lights [bulb type] or the parking lights [LED type]). 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 (vehicles with an automatic light control sys-
tem)
Turning on the high beam headlights

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.

■LED Lights
The side turn signal lights (if equipped), parking lights (LED type), daytime
running light (LED type) and, high mounted stoplight (vehicles with cargo
lamp) consist of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your
vehicle to your Toyota dealer to have the light replaced.
■Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Toyota lamps are vented to all surrounding environmental conditions and may
experience temporary condensation build-up that is visible from outside of the
lamp. Condensation and fogging does not indicate a malfunction of the lamp
assembly. It is normal for condensation to improve and disappear after time
and normal driving use. Visible pools of water or large droplets are a sign of a
lamp in which the seal has malfunctioned. If this is the case or condensation
and fogging remain after long periods of time, contact your Toyota dealer for
more information.
WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the lights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
●Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the bulb, bulb base, electrical wir-
ing, or subcomponents.
Doing so could result in electric shock and serious injury.
■To prevent damage or fire
●Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
●Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.
