Automatic High Beam*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a camera sensor located
behind the upper portion of the
windshield to assess the
brightness of the lights of vehi-
cles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically turns the
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Automatic
High Beam. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your surroundings and turning the high beams on or off
manually if necessary.

ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a cou-
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sens-ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched
or the windshield is subject to vibra- tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.

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, result-ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump
may be caused if the lever is pulled toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
Rear window wiper and
washer*
Operating the lever can use the
rear window wiper or the

4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that
must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving
safely by paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from
driving for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, use the LTA switch to turn the sys-
tem off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA
system
In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface which is slippery due to rainy weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust,
etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary
lane or restricted lane due to con- struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., are equipped.
●When the tires have been exces-sively worn, or when the tire infla-tion pressure is low.
●When tires of a size other than specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other than that highways and free-
ways.
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency towing
■Preventing LTA system malfunc-
tions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or
place stickers, etc., on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension, etc. If the suspension, etc., needs to be replaced, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a grille guard (bull bars, kan-
garoo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the func- tions may not operate properly and the vehicle may depart from its lane.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to your surroundings and operate the steering wheel to correct
the path of the vehicle without relying solely on the functions.

■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane or course*, a warning is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play, and either a warning buzzer
will sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or
the steering wheel vibrates, check the
area around your vehicle and carefully

4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising 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 deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position

WARNING
■When using the Toyota parking
assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check
the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
●The area directly under the bum-pers is not detected.Thin posts or objects lower than the
sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected before.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-sion.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole, wireless antenna or fog
lights.
