■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The power 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 switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is acti-vated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 90°C (194°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 washer fluid tank.

5-3. Operating the lights and wipers
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, etc. do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■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 the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually
as the washer fluid pump may over- heat.
■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.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the EV system
is off.

Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense con-
sists of the driving assist sys-
tems and contributes to a safe
and comfortable driving expe-
rience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense operates under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to
help reduce the impact to the occu- pants in a collision and assist the driver under normal driving condi-
tions. As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can pro-
vide, do not overly rely on this sys- tem. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s
surroundings and driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this system. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and driving safely. This system may not operate in all situa-tions and provided assistance is
limited. Over-reliance on this sys- tem to drive the vehicle safely may lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the operation
of the system, as it may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while per-forming driving operations or a sys-
tem malfunction occurs, a warning message or warning buzzer will be operated. If a warning message is
displayed on the display, follow the instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise, the volume of the audio system, etc., it may be difficult to hear the warning
buzzer. Also, depending on the road conditions, it may be difficult to recognize the operation of the sys-
tem.
■When it is necessary to disable
the system
In the following situations, make sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the sys- tem not operating properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to
being overloaded or having a flat tire
●When driving at extremely high speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train, etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-
ter, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When using an automatic car wash
●When a sensor is misaligned or
deformed due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor or the area around the sensor
●When accessories which obstruct a sensor or light are temporarily
installed to the vehicle

the systems not operating properly, possibly leading to an accident result-ing in death or serious injury.
●Do not subject the driver monitor camera or its surrounding area to
strong impact.
If subjected to a strong impact, the
driver monitor camera may move out

case, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
