AHB (Automatic High 
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.

Toyota Safety Sense 
3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
consists of the driving 
assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
operates under the assumption 
that the driver will drive safely, 
and is designed to help reduce 
the impact to the occupants in a 
collision and assist the driver 
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not ov erly rely on this 
system. The driver is solely 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s surroundings and 
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not 
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited. 
Over-reliance on this system to 
drive the vehicle safely may 
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may 
not operate properly, possibly 
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while 
performing driving operations or 
a system malfunction occurs, a 
warning message or warning 
buzzer will be operated. If a 
warning message is displayed 
on the display, follow the 
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise, 
the volume of the audio system, 
etc. it may be difficult to hear the 
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it 
may be difficult to recognize the 
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system
In the following si tuations, make 
sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the 
system not operating properly, 
possibly leading to an accident 
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to 
being overloaded or having a 
flat tire
●When driving at extremely high 
speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train, 
etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a 
lift and the tires are allowed to 
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle 
using a drum tester such as a 
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an 
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When the vehicle is driven in a 
sporty manner or off-road
●When using an automatic car 
wash

sors, and the system may not 
operate properly:
• When a detectable object is  approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable  object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes 
an abrupt maneuver (such as sud-
den swerving, acceleration or 
deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a  detectable object

near a wall, fence, guardrail, man-
hole cover, steel plate on the road 
surface, or another vehicle

• When part of a detectable object 
is hidden by another object (large 
luggage, umbrella,  guardrail, etc.)

able object

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
●The driver is solely responsible 
for safe driving. Always drive 
safely, taking care to observe 
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts 
the driver that a vehicle is in a 
blind spot of the outside rear 
view mirrors or is approaching 
rapidly from behind into a blind 
spot. Do not overly rely on the 
Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to 
change lanes, over reliance 
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As 
the system may not function 
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual 
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.

vehicle is changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection  area traveling at about the same 
speed as your vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop,  a vehicle remains in the detection 
area
• When driving up and down con- secutive steep inclines, such as 
hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp  bends, consecutive curves, or 
uneven surfaces
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or  when driving on the edge of a 
lane, and the vehicle in an adja-
cent lane is far  away from your 
vehicle
• When an accessory (such as a  bicycle carrier) is installed to the 
rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant differ- ence in height between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle that enters the 
detection area
• Immediately after the Blind Spot  Monitor is turned on
• When towing with the vehicle
●Instances of the Blind Spot Moni-
tor unnecessarily d etecting a vehi-
cle and/or object may increase in 
the following situations:
• When the sensor  is misaligned 
due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
• When the distanc e between your 
vehicle and a guar drail, wall, etc. 
that enters the detection area is 
short
• When driving up and down con- secutive steep inclines, such as 
hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or  when driving on the edge of a 
lane, and a vehicle traveling in a 
lane other than the adjacent lanes 
enters the detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp 
bends, consecutive curves, or 
uneven surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or 
spinning
• When the distanc e between your 
vehicle and a following vehicle is  short
• When an accessory (such as a  bicycle carrier) is installed to the 
rear of the vehicle
• When towing with the vehicle

obstruct a sensor is installed, such 
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip, 
etc.), bicycle car rier, or snow plow

a sharp change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp 
angle parking spot
