■ 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.

After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.
■ Fuel types

Closing the fuel tank cap
WARNING
■ When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

■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. 288)
● 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.
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below
the bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the
front sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).

■Operational conditions
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and determines that the possibility of
a frontal collision with a vehicle (e xcept motorcycles and bicycles) is high.
● Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 86 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is greater
than approximately 15 km/h (10 mph).
● Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (19 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is greater
than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
● Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is greater
than approximately 10 km/h (7 mph).
When the brake pedal is stepped on, the system judges if evasion actions are
being done by the driver and the start timing for pre-crash braking may be
delayed.
During the following, the driver operations takes precedence and the system
may not operate:
● The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly
● The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly
In case of the following, the system will not operate:
● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)
● If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated
● When the shift position is in R
■ Cancelation of the pre-crash braking
● If either of the following situations occur while the pre-crash braking function
is operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function,
the operation of the pre-crash braking function will be canceled after the
vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
