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

that these systems are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

2705-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Canada
1 The headlights, side
marker, parking, LED acces-
sories lamp (if equipped),
daytime running lights
( P.270) and so on turn on
and off automatically.
2 The side marker, park-
ing, LED accessories lamp (if
equipped), tail, license plate,
instrument panel lights, and
daytime running lights
( P.270) turn on.
3 The headlights and all
lights listed above (except
daytime running lights) turn
on.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles without LED accessories
lamp: The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the low beam head lights, and illu-
minate dimmer than the low beam
headlights.
●Vehicles with LED accessories
lamp: The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the parking lights, and illuminate
brighter than the parking lights.
●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 hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the ,
or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illuminate, 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 gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
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 the automatic head-
light system to malfunction.

tery of the vehicle from discharging,
if the headlights and/or tail lights are
on when the power switch is turned
to OFF, the battery saving function
will operate and aut omatically turn
off all the lights after approximately
20 minutes.

function is canceled once and then
reactivated. All the lights will turn off
automatically 20 minutes after the
12-volt battery-saving function has
been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is oper-
ated
●When a door is opened or closed

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 which the vehicle
was designed, for example using
a vehicle designed for right-hand
traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or
vice versa
