842-1. Instrument cluster
*1: These lights come on when the engine switch is turned to ON to 
indicate that a system check is 
being performed. They will turn 
off after the engine is started, or 
after a few seconds. There may 
be a malfunction in a system if 
the lights do not come on, or turn 
off. Have the vehicle inspected 
by your Toyota dealer.
*2: This light illuminates on the multi-information display.
*3: 4.2-inch display.
*4: 7-inch display.
The indicators inform the driver

WARNING
■If a safety system warning 
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such 
as the ABS and SRS warning light 
not come on when you start the 
engine, this could mean that 
these systems are not available to 
help protect you  in an accident, 
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer 
immediately if this occurs.

1233-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
3
Before driving
the door handle, such as in the 
rain or in a car wash when the 
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The  doors will auto-
matically be locked after 
approximately 60 seconds if the 
doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is 
used to lock the doors when the 
electronic key is  near the vehicle, 
there is a possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocke d by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unloc k the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked 
from outside of the vehicle and are 
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote contr ol or smart key 
system, the engine cannot be 
started using the smart key sys-
tem. (However, if the doors have 
been locked from inside the vehi-
cle, the engine can be started 
using the smart key system.)
If it is necessary to start the 
engine, it can be started using the 
procedure in “If the electronic key 
dose not operate properly” 
(  P.382).
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals  will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recogniti on signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective ran ge, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca- tion 6 ft. (2 m) or  more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.121)
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
message may be shown on the 
multi-information display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all 
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work 
properly if it comes into contact 
with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a 
handle operation immediately 
after entering the effective range 
may prevent the doors from being 
unlocked. Touch the door unlock 
sensor and check that the doors 
are unlocked befo re pulling the 
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in 
the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors 
after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven 
for extended periods
●To prevent theft of  the vehicle, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be 
deactivated in advance. ( P.412)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce 
key battery depletion. ( P.121)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic 
key when operating the system. 
Do not get the electronic key too 
close to the vehicle when operat-
ing the system from the outside of 
the vehicle.
Depending on the position and hold-
ing condition of the electronic key, 
the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not oper-
ate properly. (The alarm may go off 
accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function m ay not operate.)

1764-3. Operating the lights and wipers
2Turn the headlight switch to 
the   or   position.
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:
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 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. 1 8 8
●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.
●The following may change the tim-
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
• The distance between the vehicle  and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle  ahead only has 
lights illuminate d on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a  two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi- ent, curve, condition of the road 
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and  amount of luggage
●The headlights may change 
between the high beams and low 
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles 
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys-
tem may not be able to correctly 
detect the brightness of the sur-
