• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road • When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off: • The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi- cles ahead• When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side • When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not be detected.
●In the following situations the system may not be able to correctly detect the surrounding brightness level. This
may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or daz-zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to manu- ally switch between the high and low beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by
fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged• When the front camera is deformed or
dirty • When the temperature of the front camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi- cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc., from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter- mittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv- ing ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel roads, etc.)• When frequently and repeatedly tak-
ing curves or driving on a winding road• When there is a highly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or mirror• When the back of a preceding vehicle
is highly reflective, such as a con- tainer on a truck• When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed properly• When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low beams repeatedly in an abnormal manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or dazzling pedestrians or other drivers

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.
■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.

■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, an object may not be detected by the radar sensor and front camera,
preventing the system from operating properly:• When a detectable object is
approaching your vehicle • When your vehicle or a detectable object is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving, acceleration or deceleration)
• When your vehicle approaches a
detectable object rapidly • When a detectable object is not directly in front of your vehicle
• When a detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover,
vehicle, steel plate on the road, etc. • When a detectable object is under a structure
• When part of a detectable object is hidden by an object, such as large baggage, an umbrella, or guardrail
• When there are many things which can reflect the radio waves of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels, truss
bridges, gravel roads, snow covered road that have tracks, etc.)• When there is an effect on the radio
waves to the radar that is installed on another vehicle• When multiple detectable objects are
close together • If the sun or other light is shining directly on a detectable object
• When a detectable object is a shade of white and looks extremely bright• When a detectable object appears to
be nearly the same color or brightness as its surroundings• If a detectable object cuts or suddenly
emerges in front of your vehicle • When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.

WARNING
●Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vig-
ilant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which will
prevent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle. Therefore,
if there is ever any possibility of dan-
ger, the driver must take immediate
and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high-ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
