2424-3. Operating the lights and wipers
CAMRY_U
When the windshield wipers are not being used, they retract to below
the hood. To enable the windshie ld wipers to be lifted when parking in
cold conditions or when replacing a windshield wiper insert, ch ange
the rest position of the windshiel d wipers to the service position using
the wiper lever.
■Raising the wipers to the service position
Within approximately 45 sec-
onds of turning the engine
switch off, move the wiper lever
to the
*1 or *2
position and hold it for approxi-
mately 2 seconds or more.
The wipers will move to the ser-
vice position.
*1: For U.S.A.
*2: For Canada
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
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 your Toyota dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

2684-5. Using the driving support systems
CAMRY_U• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front camera
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or front camera is misaligned
• When driving in a traffic lane separated by more than one lane
where
oncoming vehicles are driving while making a right/left turn
● In addition to the above, in some situations, such as the follo wing, the emer-
gency steering assist may not operate.
• When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such as when they
are faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is cast upon them
• When the lane is wider or narrower than normal
• When there is a light and dark pattern on the road surface, su ch as due to
road repairs
• When the target is too close
• When there is insufficient safe or unobstructed space for the vehicle to be
steered into
• If oncoming vehicle is present
• If VSC function is operating • If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered
• When largely out of place with the opposite facing targeted oncoming
vehicle during a right/left turn
• While making a right/left turn, when a pedestrian approaches from behind
or side of your vehicle

◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenl y,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake p edal
is depressed when the system de tects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces.
◆Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippe ry
road surfaces by controlling steering performance.
◆Secondary Collision Brake
When the airbag sensor detects a collision and the system oper-
ates, the brakes and stop light s are automatically controlled to
reduce the vehicle speed and hel p reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary collision
◆TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicl e or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Active Cornering Assist (ACA) (if equipped)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from sliding to the outer side by per-
forming inner wheel brake control when attempting to accelerate
while turning
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and perf ormance, the following systems
operate automatically in respon se to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heav ily when operating the vehi-
cle.

3784-6. Driving tips
CAMRY_U
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to roa d con-
ditions.
● Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the
parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the pa rking
brake, make sure t o block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerou s because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, pos sibly leading to an accident.
● If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm
that the shift lever c annot be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifte d from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock syst em. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

WARNING
■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weathe r.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns (vehicles with outside rear view mirror defogg ers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rea r view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
engine is stopped.
■ When repairing/replacing parts of the air conditioning system
Have repair/replacement performed by your Toyota dealer.
When a part of the air conditioning system, such as the evapora tor, is to be
replaced, it must be replaced with a new one.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
