Beam)
The Automatic High Beam
uses a front camera located
on the upper portion of the
windshield to detect the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally changes the head
lights between the high
beams and low beams.
WARNING
■For safe use
Do not overly rely on the Auto-
matic High Beam. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high
beams on or off manually if nec-
essary.
■To prevent unintentional

When the headlight switch lever is
in the low beam position, the AHB
system will be enabled and the
AHB indicator will illuminate.
■Automatic operating condi-
tions of the high beams
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will
illuminate automatically:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with
lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other lights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions
are met, the headlights will
change to the low beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• There is a vehi cle ahead with
lights on.
• There are many streetlights or other lights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection
●In the following situations, the high
beams may not be automatically
changed to the low beams:
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle
• When another vehicle crosses in front of the vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are repeat- edly detected and then hidden
due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead
approaches from a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong light, such as own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 2 6 3
●The headlights may change to the
low beams if a vehicle ahead that
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illuminated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.

ing at which the headlights
change to the low beams:
• The brightness o f lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead

Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_endetect the brightness of the sur-
roundings. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to flash or dazzle
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to
manually change between the
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to
headlights or tail li ghts in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of
vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the headlights are repeat- edly changing between the high
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is inappropriate or when the high
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians or other drivers.
• When the vehicle is used in an area in which vehicles travel on
the opposite side of the road of
the country for wh ich the vehicle
was designed, for example using
a vehicle designed for right-hand
traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or
vice versa

WARNING
■To prevent malfunction of the
radar sensors
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may lead to
a radar sensor not operating prop-
erly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Keep the radar sensors and
radar sensor covers clean at all
times.
Clean the front of a radar sensor
or the front or back of a radar sen-
sor cover if it is dirty or covered
with water drople ts, snow, etc.
When cleaning the radar sensor

●Do not attach accessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a radar sensor or radar sensor
cover and their surrounding
area.
●Do not subject a radar sensor or
its surrounding area to impact. If
a radar sensor, the front grille,
or front bumper has been sub-
jected to a impact, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
●Do not disassemble the radar
sensors.
●Do not modify or paint the radar
sensors or radar sensor cover,

• When a radar sensor is removed and installed, or
replaced
• When the front bumper or the front grille has been replaced
■Radar sensor cover with a
heater
When the system determines that
snow may pile up over the radar
sensor cover, the heater will oper-
ate automatically. If the area
around the radar sensor cover is
to be touched, such as during
cleaning, make sure that the radar
sensor cover is cool enough to
prevent burns.
