The Automatic high-beam
detects other traffic participants
early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or
off depending on the traffic situ-
ation.
The Automatic high-beam
ensures that the high beams are
switched on, whenever the traf-
fic situation allows. In the low
speed range, the high beams
are not switched on by the sys-
tem.
The system responds to light
from oncoming traffic and traffic
driving ahead of you, and to
ambient lighting, for instance in
towns and cities.
The high beams can be
switched on and off manually at
any time.
1 Press the button on the
light switch element.
The LED in the button lights up.
2 Press and hold the button on
the turn signal lever.
The headlights are automatically
switched between low beams
and high beams.

Do not hang pieces of cloth-

backrests.
Never modify either the indi-
vidual components or the wir-
ing in the airbag system. This
also applies to steering wheel
covers, the dashboard, and
the seats.
Do not remove the airbag sys-
tem.
Even when you follow all
instructions very closely, injury
from contact with the airbags
cannot be fully ruled out in cer-
tain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise
may lead to short-term and, in
most cases, temporary hearing
impairment in sensitive occu-

Vehicle modifications for a per-

the air bag system; contact the
Toyota dealer for further infor-
mation.

Safety information
WARNING
Individual components can be hot
after triggering of the airbag sys-
tem. There is a risk of injury. Do
not touch individual components.
WARNING
Improperly executed work can
lead to failure, malfunction or
unintentional triggering of the air-
bag system. In the case of a mal-
function, the airbag system might
not trigger as intended despite the
accident severity. There is a risk
of injuries or danger to life. Have
the airbag system checked,
repaired, dismantled and
scrapped by your Toyota dealer.

The SRS side airbags and SRS

as it will inflate nearly instantly, it
may impact an occupant and
cause an injury, or the loud
noise emitted by ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-

The explosive power that acti-
vates driver's/front-seat passen-
ger airbags very much depends
on the positions of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this
function over the long term, cali-
brate the front seats as soon as
a respective message appears
on the Control Display.
A corresponding message
appears on the Control Display.
1Press the switch and move
the respective seat all the
way forward, until it stops.
2 Press the switch forward
again. The seat still moves
forward slightly.
3 Readjust the seat to the
desired position.
The calibration procedure is
completed when the message
on the Control Display disap-
pears.
If the message continues to be displayed, repeat the calibration.
If the message does not disap-
pear after a repeat calibration,
have the system checked as
soon as possible.
The system reads if the front
passenger seat is occupied by
measuring the human body's
resistance.
Front, knee, and side airbag on
the front passenger's side are
activated or deactivated.
Before transporting a child on
the front passenger seat, refer
to the safety information and
instructions for children on the
front passenger seat, see Chil-
dren.

When transporting older chil-
dren and adults, the front-seat
passenger airbags may be
deactivated in certain sitting
positions. In this case, the indi-
cator light for the front-seat pas-
senger airbags lights up.
In this case, change the sitting
position so that the front-seat
passenger airbags are acti-
vated and the indicator light
goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the
airbags, have the person sit in
the rear.
To enable correct recognition of
the occupied seat cushion.
Do not attach covers, cush-
ions, ball mats or other items
to the front passenger seat
unless they are specifically
determined to be safe for use
on the front passenger seat.
Do not place any electronic devices on the front passen-
ger seat if a child restraint
system is to be installed on it.
Do not place objects under
the seat that could press
against the seat from below.
No moisture in or on the seat.
The indicator light for the
front-seat passenger airbag in
the roofliner indicates the oper-
ating state of the front-seat pas-
senger airbag.
The light indicates whether the
airbags are either activated or
deactivated.
After drive-ready state is
switched on, the light briefly
lights up and then indicates
whether the airbags are either
activated or deactivated.
Safety information
WARNING
To ensure the front-seat passen-
ger airbag function, the system
must be able to detect whether a
person is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat. The entire seat cush-
ion area must be used for this
purpose. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Make sure that
the front passenger keeps his or
her feet in the floor area.
