*: If equipped
According to the vehicle speed,
the brightness and illuminated
area of the high beams are
adjusted.
 When driving around a curve, the
system uses the high beams to
brightly illuminate the direction of
travel of the vehicle.
 The high beams are illuminated
so that the area around a vehicle
ahead is shaded. (Shaded high
beam)
The shaded high beam helps ensure
forward visibility while reducing the daz-
zling effect on the drivers of vehicles
ahead.

preceding vehicle, the illumi-
nated area of the low beams is
adjusted.
1 Press the Adaptive High-beam
System switch.
AHS (Adaptive High-
beam System)*
The Adaptive High-beam Sys-
tem uses a front camera
located on the upper portion of
the windshield to detect the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, streetlights,
etc., and automatically con-
trols the light distribution of
the headlights.
WARNING
■For safe use
Do not overly rely on the Adaptive High-beam System. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high beams on or off manually if neces-sary.

shield to detect the brightness
of the lights of vehicles ahead,
streetlights, etc., and automati-
cally changes the head lights
between the high beams and
low beams.
WARNING
■For safe use

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
