WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on  
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not 
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys- 
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer imme- 
diately if this occurs.

daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the hybrid system is 
started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch   or in 
the   (if equipped) position. Daytime running lights are not designed for 
use at night. 
■ Headlight control sensor (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.
