WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the front sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. If the windshield is di rty or covered
with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clear the windshield. If the
inner side of the windshield in front of the front sensor is dirty, contact your
Toyota dealer.
● If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside
of the vehicle, such as in winter, the windshield is likely to fog up easily. If
the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogg ed up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may illumi nate and
the system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the w indshield
defogger to remove the fog, etc. ( P. 378)
● If the area of the windshield in front of the front sensor is covered with
water droplets, use the windshield wipers to remove them.
If the water droplets are not sufficiently removed, the performance of the
front sensor may be reduced.
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 4.0 in. (10 cm) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm)
(Approximately 4.0 in. (10 cm) to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).
A: Approximately 4.0 in. (10 cm) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm)
(Approximately 4.0 in. (10 cm) to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)

■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information disp lay
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in
the system.

SituationActions
When the area around the front
sensor is covered with dirt,
moisture (fogged up, covered
with condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matterTo clean the part of the windshield in front
of the front sensor, use the windshield
wipers or the windshield defogger
( P. 378).
When the temperature around
the front sensor is outside of
the operational range, such as
when the vehicle is in the sun or
in an extremely cold environ-
ment
If the front sensor is hot, such as after the
vehicle is parked in the sun, use the air
conditioning system to decrease the tem-
perature around the front sensor.
If a sunshade was used when the vehi-
cle was parked, depending on its type,
the sunlight reflected from the surface
of the sunshade may cause the tem-
perature of the front sensor to become
excessively high.
If the front sensor is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front sensor.
The area in front of the front
sensor is obstructed, such as
when the hood is open or a
sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the
front sensor.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
