• The vehicle speed is approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or more.• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with lights on.• There are few streetlights or other
lights on the road ahead.

●The headlights may change to the low beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without its headlights turned
on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or signs may cause the high beams to change to the low beams, or the low
beams to remain on.
●The following may change the timing
at which the headlights change to the low beams:• The brightness of lights of vehicles
ahead • The movement and direction of vehi-cles ahead
• The distance between the vehicle and a vehicle ahead• When a vehicle ahead only has lights
illuminated 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.)

lights or tail lights in the surrounding area• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang- ing color, or not aimed properly• When the headlights are repeatedly
changing between the high beams and low beams.• When use of the high beams is inap-
propriate or when the high beams may be flashing or dazzling pedestri-ans or other drivers.

which the vehicle was designed, for example using a vehicle designed for right-hand traffic in a left-hand traffic
area, or vice versa • When it is necessary to disable the system: P. 2 7 5
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 2 7 9

8 Washer/wiper dual opera-
tion
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wip-
ers operate once more time after a
short delay to prevent dripping. How-
ever, the dripping prevention does not
operate while the vehicle is moving.)
Vehicles with headlight cleaners: When
the power switch is in ON and the
headlights are on, if the lever is pulled,
the headlight cleaners will operate
once. After this, the headlight cleaners
will operate every 5th time the lever is
pulled.
■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.

WARNING
■Front camera installation area on the windshield
If the system determines that the windshield may be fogged up, it will automatically operate the heater to
defog the part of the windshield around the front camera. When clean-ing, etc., be careful not to touch the
area around the front camera until the windshield has cooled sufficiently, as touching it may cause burns.
■Precautions for the driver moni-tor camera (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may lead to malfunc-tion of the driver monitor camera and
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
of alignment and the driver may no
longer be detected correctly. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●Do not disassemble or modify the driver monitor camera.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), etc. to the driver monitor camera or its
surrounding area.
●Do not allow the driver monitor
camera or its surrounding area to get wet.
●Do not cover the driver monitor camera or place anything in front of it.
●Keep the lens of the driver monitor camera free from damage.
●Do not touch the lens of the driver monitor camera or allow it to become dirty.
When there is dirt or fingerprints on
the camera lens, clean it with a dry,
soft cloth so as to not mark or dam-
age it.
●When cleaning the lens, do not use
detergents or organic solvents that may damage plastic.
