1664-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■The windshield wiper and
washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the wash er nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
v oi r.
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, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is
empty
Do not operate the switch continu-
ally as the washer fluid pump may
overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes
blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota
dealer. Do not try to clear it with a
pin or other object. The nozzle will
be damaged.
1824-5. EyeSight
WARNING
Fluid has not been fully wiped
off the windshield during or after
washer use.
The target cannot be correctly
recognized because the stereo
camera’s view is obstructed by
water droplets from rain or the
window washer, or by the wiper
blades.
The stereo camera’s field of
view is obstructed.
The rear aspect of the vehicle
in front is low, s mall or irregular
(the system may recognize
another part of the vehicle as its
rear and will determine operation
from that).
• There is an empty truck or trailer with no r ear and/or side
panels on the cargo bed.
• Vehicles that have cargo pro- truding from their back ends
• Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehi-
cles with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• The height of the vehicle is low, etc.
There is a wall, etc. in front of a
stopped vehicle.
There is another object near
the vehicle.
A vehicle, etc. has its side fac-
ing you.
With vehicles that are backing
up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
The size and height of an
obstacle is smaller than the limita-
tions of the stereo camera’s rec-
ognition capability.
• With small animals or children, etc.
• With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
The detected ob ject is a fence
or wall, etc. with a uniform pattern
(a striped pattern or brick pattern,
etc.).
There is a wall or door made of
glass or a mirror in front.
The vehicle in front suddenly
swerves, accelerates, or deceler-
ates.
A vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle
or pedestrian suddenly cuts in
from the side or suddenly runs in
front of you.
Your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle after changing
lanes.
There is a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper.
2164-5. EyeSight
WARNING
●If your vehicle is trapped on a
railroad crossing and you are
trying to escape by driving
through the crossing gate, the
stereo camera may recognize
the crossing gate as an obstacle
and Pre-Collision Throttle Man-
agement system may activate.
In this case, remain calm and
either continue to depress the
accelerator pedal or turn off the
Pre-Collision Throttle Manage-
ment system. (
P.218)
Pre-Collision Throttle Manage-
ment may not activate depending
on the following conditions:
●The distance between your
vehicle and the obstacle, speed
difference, and horizontal offset
●Recognition status of the stereo
camera
In particular, the function may not
activate in the following cases:
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick
fog)
• Visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air.
• Light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night.
• In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
• There is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights.
• Strong light is coming from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight
beams, etc.).
• The windshield has become fogged, scratched or smeared,
or snow, dirt, dust or frost has
adhered to it, or it is otherwise
affected. These will reduce the
stereo camera’s field of view.
Also, light is reflecting off the
dirt, etc.
• Fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer.
• Obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water drop-
lets from rain or the washer, or
the wiper blades obstructing the
stereo camera’s field of view.
• The stereo came ra’s field of
view is obstructed.
• With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• The size and height of an obsta- cle is smaller than the limita-
tions of the stereo camera’s
recognition capability. (Small
animals, children, pedestrians
who are sitting or lying down,
etc.)
• The rear portion nearest your vehicle is too small or too close
(such as a trailer or oncoming
vehicle). The system may not
recognize the part of that vehi-
cle which is closest to you.
• There is a fence or wall, etc., with a uniform pattern (striped
pattern, brick, etc.) or with no
pattern in front.

Driving
4-7.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are
of the specified size, and that all 4
tires are the sa me size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.

excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
Winter driving tips

Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size,
and that are the same size,
same maker, same brand and
tread pattern.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
