Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wip-
ers and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer
squirts.
Vehicles with headlight cleaners:
When the headlights are on and
the lever is pulled and held, 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 mode.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, wiper operation va ries
depending on vehicle speed when the washer is being used (delay until drip
prevention wiper sweep occurs).
■ Raindrop sensor
● If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power switch is
in ON mode, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mo de is acti-
vated.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor 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”.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked, or if there is w asher fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
● 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 windshield.

WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshie ld becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visi bility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take car e that your
fingers, etc., do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is p ulled
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 w ill be damaged.

● In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-
tional.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyot a retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely
cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the ve hicle, such
as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright light s are shining
into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, th e radar may

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera
to detect objects ( P. 370) in front of the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an
object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take e va-
sive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to he lp
the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that t he
possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collisio n
or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P. 375)

the radar sensor and front camera, preventing the system from o perating
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 sudde n swerv-
ing, acceleration or deceleration)
• When your vehicle approaches a detectable object rapidly
• When a detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, man hole 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 o f the
radar in the vicinity (tunnels, truss bridges, gravel roads, sn ow covered
road that have tracks, etc.)
• When there is an effect on the radio waves to the radar that i s installed on
another vehicle
• When multiple detectable objects are close together
• If the sun or other light is shining directly on a detectable object
