WARNING
■When towing a trailer
Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable fed-
eral and state/provincial regulations.
● If the gross trailer weight exceeds unbraked TWR, trailer brakes are
required. Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform t o all appli-
cable federal and state/provincial regulations.
● Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system, as this will lo wer the vehi-
cle’s braking effectiveness.
● Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attac hed to both
the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling u nit or hitch
ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering into another lan e.
NOTICE
■When installing a trailer hitch
Use only the position recommended by your Toyota dealer. Do not install
the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage.
■ Do not directly splice trailer lights
Do not directly splice trailer lights. Directly splicing traile r lights may damage
your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction.

■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
* posi-
tion
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, eve n if the park-
ing brake is set again.
● For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by ope rating the
switch.
● 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
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.

● In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, t he message will
disappear and the system will become operational when normal op erating
conditions return:
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around eith er sen-
sor is hot, such as in the sun
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around eith er sen-
sor is cold, such as in an extremely cold environment
• When the radar sensor is dirty or covered with snow, etc.
• When the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged
up or covered with condensation or ice
(Defogging the windshield: P. 323)
• If the camera sensor is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is attached to the windshield near the camera sensor
● If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate, or t he warning mes-

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-ve hicle dis-
tance switch.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate su ffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle fr om closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The syst em then
returns to constant speed cruising.

Limitations of the sensors
●The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas aro und the vehi-
cle’s front corners and the rear bumpers.
● Certain vehicle conditions and surrounding environments, such a s the fol-
lowing, may affect the ability of the sensors to correctly dete ct objects. Pay
particular attention in the following situations. Failure to do so may result in
the vehicle being driven unsafely, possibly leading to an accident.
• When there is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor (Cleaning the sens or will
resolve this problem.)
• When the sensor is frozen (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen ma y show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected
• When a sensor is covered in any way
• When the vehicle is leaning considerably to one side
• When driving on an extremely bumpy road, incline, gravel, or g rass
• When the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns , motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises pro ducing ultra-
sonic waves
• When there is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sen sor in the
vicinity
• When the sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
• When the vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless an tenna
• When a towing eyelet is installed
• When a bumper or sensor receives a strong impact
• A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are insta lled.
• When the vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb
• When driving in harsh sunlight or intense cold weather
• When an object is directly under a bumper
• When objects become too close to the sensors
• When a non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc. ) is
installed
In addition to the situations above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by the senso r to be
closer than they are.
