Operating the switch turns
on the lights as follows:U.S.A.
Canada
1 The side marker, parking,
tail, license plate, instrument
panel lights, daytime running
lights ( P.248) turn on.
2 The headlights and all
lights listed above (except
daytime running lights) turn
on.
3 The headlights, daytime
running lights ( P.248) and all the lights listed above turn
on and off automatically.
4 Off (for the U.S.A. only)
■AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
●The daytime runn ing lights illumi-
nate using the same lights as the
parking lights and illuminate but at
a higher intensity. (On some mod-
els: Using the same lights as the
headlights but at a lower intensity.)
●To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime
driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following conditions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The EV system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the
or position
• The surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illumi nate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers greater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve electricity con-
sumption.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything that blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light
and may cause t he automatic head-
light system to malfunction.

The headlights can be oper-
ated manually or automati-
cally.

er may operate
once to indicate the change of
sensitivity.
●If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 194°F (90°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, the auto-
matic operation m ay not occur. In
this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than “AUTO”.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the wash er nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
v oi r.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in “AUTO”
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode.
Take care that your fingers or any-
thing else does not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
■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, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is
empty
Do not operate the switch continu-
ally as the washer fluid pump may
overheat.
■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.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the wipers on longer
than necessary when the EV sys-
tem is off.

may not operate properly
●When the height or inclination of
the vehicle has been changed due
to modifications
●When the windshield is dirty,
fogged up, cracked or damaged
●When the ambient temperature is
high or low
●When mud, water, snow, dead
insects, foreign matter, etc., is
attached to the fr ont of the sensor
●When in inclement weather such
as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a
sandstorm
●When water, snow, dust, etc. is
thrown up in front of the vehicle, or
when driving through mist or
smoke
●When the headlig hts are not illu-
minated while driving in the dark,
such as at night o r when in a tun-
nel
●When the lens of a headlight is
dirty and illumination is weak
●When the headlights are mis-
aligned
●When a headlight is malfunction-
ing
●When a the headlights of another vehicle, sunlight, or reflected light
shines directly into the front cam-
era
●When the brightness of the sur-
rounding area changes suddenly
●When driving near a TV tower,
broadcasting station, electric
power plant, radar equipped vehi-
cles, etc., or other location where
strong radio waves or electrical
noise may be present
●When a wiper blade is blocking
the front camera
●When in a location or near objects
which strongly reflect radio waves,
such as the following:
• Tunnels
• Truss bridges
• Gravel roads
• Rutted, snow-covered roads
• Walls
• Large trucks
• Manhole covers
• Guardrail
• Metal plates
●When near a step or protrusion
●When a detectable vehicle is nar-
row, such as a small mobility vehi-
cle
●When a detectable vehicle has a
small front or rear end, such as an
unloaded truck
●When a detectable vehicle has a
low front or rear end, such as a
low bed trailer
●When a detectable vehicle has
extremely high ground clearance
WARNING
●Do not modify or change the
headlights and other lights.
■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 cam-
era. When cleaning, etc., be care-
ful not to touch the area around
the front camera until the wind-
shield has cooled sufficiently, as
touching it may cause burns.

WARNING
●Depending on the condition of
the road surface or the vehicle,
the distance between the vehi-
cle and a parking space, etc., it
may not be possible to detect a
parking space or the system
may not be able to provide
assistance to the point the vehi-
cle is fully parked.
●This system will guide the vehi-
cle to appropriate positions for
changing the direction of travel,
however, if you feel that the
vehicle is approaching too close
to an adjacent parked vehicle at
any time, depress the brake
pedal and change the shift posi-
tion. However, if this is per-
formed, the number of times the
vehicle changes direction may
increase, and the vehicle may
be parked at an angle.
●As following objects may not be
detected, make sure to check
the safety of the area around
your vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle if
it may collide with an object.
• Thin objects such as wire, fences, rope, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi- als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, park- ing blocks, etc.)
• Tall objects with upper sections that protrude outward
●Even if there is an object in the
target parking space, it may not
be detected and assistance
may be performed.
●While the system is operating, if
it is likely that your vehicle will
collide with a nearby vehicle,
parking block, object, or person,
depress the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle and press the
Advanced Park main switch to
disable the system.
●Never use only the multimedia
display to view the area behind
the vehicle. The image dis-
played may dif fer than the
actual situation. Using only the
screen when backing up may
lead to an accident, such as a
collision with another vehicle.
When backing up, make sure to
look directly or use the mirrors
to check the safe ty of the area
around your vehicle, especially
behind the vehicle.
●When the ambient temperature
is extremely low, the screen
may appear dark or the dis-
played image may become
unclear. Also, as moving objects
may appear distorted or may
not be able to be seen on the
screen, make sure to directly
check the safety of the area
around your vehicle.
In the following situations, while
the vehicle is stopped and held
by Advanced Park, it may be
canceled and th e vehicle may
start moving. Immediately
depress the brake pedal. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an
accident.
• When the driver’s door is opened
• When operations instructed by the system are not performed
within a certain amount of time
• When the brake pedal is depressed and th e vehicle is
stopped for a certain amount of
time
