4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
4 Temporary operation
When “AUTO” is selected, the wipers
will operate automatically when the
sensor detects falling rain. The system
automatically adjusts wiper timing in
accordance with rain volume and vehi-
cle speed.
When “AUTO” is selected, the sen-
sor sensitivity can be adjusted as
follows by turning the switch ring.
5 Increases the rain-sensing wind-
shield wiper sensitivity
6 Decreases the rain-sensing
windshield wiper sensitivity
7 Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a cou-
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent
wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops. An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight
from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are present on the wind-
shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode
while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C
(5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not become caught in the windshield wip-
ers.
■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, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid
spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the bat-
tery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size
and brand, and that chains match the
size of the tires.
Perform the following according to
Winter driving tips

Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains
being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer or legitimate tire retailers.This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects the operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

35°C [-31°F])
For more details about coolant, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser and
intercooler clear away any foreign
objects. If either of the above parts
is extremely dirty or you are not
sure of their condition, have your
vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the washer fluid level is at “1/2”,
add washer fluid.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap.
The cooling system may be under
pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mix-ture of water and antifreeze must be
used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant
label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
