HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
This system allows the headlights and front position lights to be turned 
on for 30 seconds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” 
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles 
with smart entry & start system). 
Pull the lever toward you and 
release it with the light switch is in 
 or   after turning the 
engine switch to the “LOCK” posi- 
tion (vehicles without smart entry 
& start system) or off (vehicles 
with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and 
release it again to turn off the
lights.
■ Daytime running light system (if equipped) 
To make your vehicle more visible to  other drivers during daytime driving, the 
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started 
with the headlight switch in   or  . (Illuminate brighter than the front 
position lights.) The daytime running light system is not designed for use at 
night. 
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Follow me home 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.

Washer/wiper dual operation
The wipers will automatically 
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts. 
If the headlights are on, the 
headlight cleaners will operate
once. 
And then, the headlight cleaners 
will operate every five times you
pull the lever. (if equipped)
■ The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start 
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).

WARNING
■ 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.
