Driving
■Daytime running light system
●The  daytime  running  lights  illuminate  using  the  same  lights  as  the  parking
lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
● To  make  your  vehicle  more  visible  to  other  drivers  during  dayti me  driving,
the  daytime  running  lights  turn  on  automatically  when  all  of  the  following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the   (Canada only),   or  * position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking
brake is set again.
● For  the  U.S.A.:  Daytime  running  lights  can  be  turned  off  by  ope rating  the
switch.
● For the Canada: Daytime running lights are not designed for use  at night.
● Compared  to  turning  on  the  headlights,  the  daytime  running  ligh t  system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it  can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor (vehicles with automatic headlight system)
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.

2144-3. Operating the lights and wipers
●The high beam may be turned on or off when the driver does not  expect it.
● Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
● In  the  situations  shown  below,  the  system  may  not  be  able  to  accurately
detect  surrounding  brightness  levels.  This  may  cause  the  low  be ams  to
remain  on  or  the  high  beams  to  cause  problems  for  pedestrians,  vehicles
ahead  or  other  parties.  In  these  cases,  manually  switch  between   the  high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights , tail lights
or fog lights.
• Vehicles  ahead  have  headlights  that  are  either  switched  off,  d irty,  are
changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When  driving  through  an  area  of  intermittently  changing  brightness  and
darkness.
• When  frequently  and  repeatedly  driving  ascending/descending  roads,  or roads  with  rough,  bumpy  or  uneven  surfaces  (such  as  stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks, etc.).
• When  frequently  and  repeatedly  taking  curves  or  driving  on  a  w inding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a co ntainer on a
truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched betwe en in
an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems  or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

■The windshield wipers and w asher can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles  are not  blocked if there is  washe r  fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When  it  is  cold,  do  not  use  the  washer  fluid  until  the  windshie ld  becomes
warm. The  fluid may freeze  on  the  windshield and cause low visi bility. 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 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.
