beams in the following situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead are hidden from
sight due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to
the shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without
its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to
the shaded high beams, cause the
high beams not to change to the shaded high beams, or change the
area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper- ational lights 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.) • The number of passengers and
amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the
headlights may change unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the following sit uations the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This
may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low beams.
• When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by
fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc. • When the windshield is cracked or
damaged
• When the camera sensor is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera
sensor is extremely high • When the surrounding brightness
level is equal to that of headlights, tail
lights or fog lights • When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-
ing color, or not aimed properly • When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding
vehicle • When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and
darkness • When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel roads, etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly tak- ing curves or driving on a winding
road
• When there is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding vehicle is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or tilting
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.
• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low beams repeatedly in an abnormal
manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or dazzling
pedestrians or other drivers

2084-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■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 is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the
wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°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
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■When stopping the engine in an
emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when the engine is stopped, the wind-
shield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped, operation will return to normal when the
engine switch is turned to ON, or opera-
tion will stop when the driver’s door is opened.

■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 or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
■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 there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump
may be caused if the lever is pulled
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 will 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 mes- sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around t he radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front
camera
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor is cov-
ered with dirt, moisture (fogged up, cov-
ered with condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matter
To clean the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera, use the wind-
shield wipers or the windshield defogger
of the air conditioning system ( P.424,
429).
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditi oning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
