2284-3. Operating the lights and wipers
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibility at
intersections and on curves by auto matically adjusting the direction of
the light axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the
degree of the tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.
AFS operates at speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher.
■Daytime running light system
●Type A:
The daytime running lights illuminate the headlights and, they are darker
than the headlights.
Type B:
The daytime running lights illuminate the parking lights and, they are
brighter than parking lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.)
• The hybrid system is starting
• The parking brake released
• The headlight switch is in (Canada only), or (when the
surroundings are bright) position
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate due to the condi-
tions above, even if the parking brake is set again.
● For U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● 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
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) (if equipped)
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.

by the Rear Camera Detection function, preventing the function from operat-
ing properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or
scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground
parking lot
● In some situations, such as the following, the Rear Camera Detection func-
tion may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection
area.
• When a three dimensional object, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle, is detected
• When a moving object, such as a car or motorcycle is detected
• When backing up toward moving objects such as flags or puddles, or air- borne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow
• When there is a pattern on the road, due to the road being made of cob- blestone or gravel or having tram rails, traces of repair, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the surface
• When backing up on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage ditches
• When backing up toward the roadside or a bump in the road
• When an object is reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
• When there are shadows on the road
• When backing up over a bump in the road
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted, such as when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate (especially flu-
orescent type), is installed near the rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper

*: Depending on conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
● Situations in which the radar sensors may not be able to detect an object
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
• If the rear bumper is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• If heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• When the detection area of a radar sensor is obstructed by an adjacent
vehicle
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wireless antenna
is installed near a radar sensor
• If the orientation of a radar sensor has been changed due to a collision or
other impact or removal and installation
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between each vehicle
• When a vehicle is approaching at high speed

right or left at the rear of the vehicle
while you are turning while backing
up
• When turning while backing up

3404-6. Driving tips
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
■ Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
● Install tire chains on the front tires. Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.
● Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains after
driving 1/4 ⎯ 1/2 mile (0.5 ⎯ 1.0 km).
● Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire ch\
ains.
Regulations on the use of tire chains
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
● Use tires of the specified size.
● Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
● Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of
snow tires being used.
● Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■ Driving with tire chains (vehicles with 16 and 17-inch tires)
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
● Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
● Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
● Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) system.

Maintenance and care
■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy ro ads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use
year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all
season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the or iginally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations fo r possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels. ( →P. 338)
■If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tire s as snow tires is lost.

4466-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
● When rotating, repairing or changi ng your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
● Use only Toyota genuine balance we ights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide
advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. When-
ever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valve and transmitters
must be installed. ( →P. 430)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
