■Eco score (A/C score)
The  current  air  conditioning  system  usage  status  is  evaluated  i n  5
levels to determine whether it is Eco-friendly.
The  evaluation  changes  according  to  the  air  conditioning  system
usage status. When the power switch is turned off, the current  total

■Operating switches of the air conditioning system operation pan el
● The pop-up display function that displays when the air conditioning settings
are changed using the air conditioning system switches can be turned off in
the “Meter Customize” settings. ( P. 153)
■ Eco score (A/C score)
●The  setting  status  of  the  following  air  conditioning  system  fun ctions  are
reflected in the score.
• Temperature setting
• Fan speed setting
• Outside air and recirculated air modes
• “A/C” button
• Front seat concentrated airflow mode (S-FLOW)
• “CLIMATE CONTROL”
● The  Eco  score (A/C  score)  is  evaluated  according to  the  ambient   tempera-
ture  and  cabin  temperature.  Accordingly,  even  if  the  same  setti ngs  are
always  used  for  the  air  conditioning  system,  the  evaluation  will  change
according to such factors as the season and weather.
● When  the  air  conditioning  system  is  not  being  used  or  the  airflow  mode  is
set  to    or  ,  the  Eco  score  (A/C  score)  is  not  evaluated.  (While  the
air  conditioning  system  is  not  evaluated,  its  usage  status  is  n ot  reflected in
the total Eco score result.)
● The Eco score (A/C score) is a function that helps select an ai r conditioning
system setting which reduces fuel consumption, not a function t hat satisfies
both comfortability and low fuel consumption.
●
When  the  air  conditioning  system
switches  are  operated  to  change  the  air
conditioning  settings  while  a  screen
other  than  the  air  conditioning  system
settings screen is displayed on the multi-
information  display,  a  pop-up  display  for
the  air  conditioning  settings  contents  is
displayed.  However,  air  conditioning
system  settings  cannot  be  changed  on
the pop-up display.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system
●The  daytime  running  lights  illuminate  using  the  same  lights  as  the  head-
lights, and illuminate dimmer than the headlights.
● 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 hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the  ,  ,   or 
* position
*: 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 (if equipped)
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights tur n off 30 sec-
onds  after  a  door  is  opened  and  closed  if  the  power  switch  is  t urned  to
ACCESSORY  mode  or  turned  off.  (The  lights  turn  off  immediately  if    on
the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the  driver’s
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode,  or turn the light
switch to the  ,  ,   or   position once and then back to the
 or   position. 
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. 
Air  conditioning  operation  may  also  be
interrupted.

●In  the  following  situations,  if  the  situation  has  changed  (or  the  vehicle  has
been  driven  for  some  time)  and  the  normal  operating  conditions  are
detected,  the  message  will  disappear  and  the  system  will  become  opera-
tional. 
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer. • When  the  temperature  around  the  radar  sensor  is  outside  of  the   opera-
tional  range,  such  as  when  the  vehicle  is  in  the  sun  or  in  an  e xtremely
cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the ve hicle, such
as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor
is  covered  with  dirt,  moisture
(fogged  up,  covered  with  con-
densation,  ice,  etc.),  or  other
foreign matterTo clean the part of the windshield in front
of  the  front  camera,  use  the  windshield
wipers  or  the  windshield  defogger  of  the
air conditioning system ( P. 440, 450).
When  the  temperature  around
the  front  camera  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  camera  is  hot,  such  as  after
the  vehicle  had  been  parked  in  the  sun,
use  the  air  conditioning  system  to
decrease  the  temperature  around  the
front camera.
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 camera to become
excessively high.
If the  front  camera 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 camera.
The  area  in  front  of  the  front
camera  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 camera.
Close  the  hood,  remove  the  sticker,  etc.
to clear the obstruction.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Normal mode
Suitable for normal driving.
When  normal  mode  is  selected,  the  “ECO  MODE”  and  “PWR  MODE”
indicators turn off.
Power mode
Suitable  for  when  crisp  handling  and  enhanced  accelerator
response are desired, such as when driving on mountainous roads .
When  power  mode  is  selected,  the “PWR MODE”  indicator  will  illuminate
on the main display.
Eco drive mode
Suitable  for  driving  that  impro ves  fuel  economy  by  generating
torque  in  response  to  accelerator  pedal  operations  more  smoothl y
than in normal mode.
When Eco drive mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will  illumi-
nate on the main display.
While  the  air  conditioning  is  being  used,  the  system  automatically
switches to air conditioning eco mode (P. 439, 449), allowing for driv-
ing that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ The driving mode after turning the power switch off
The  driving  mode  will  not  be  changed  automatically  until  the  switch  is
pressed, even if the power switch is turned off.
■ Switching the driving mode when in EV drive mode

■ Sensor detection information
●The  sensor’s  detection  areas  are  limited  to  the  areas  around  th e  vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There  will  be  a  short  delay  between  obstacle  detection  and  disp lay.  Even
when  traveling  at  a  low  speed,  if  you  come  too  close  to  an  obstacle  before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin  posts  or  objects  lower  than  the  sensor  may  not  be  detected   when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It  might  be  difficult  to  hear  beeps  due  to  the  volume  of  audio  system  or  air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
