Driving
CAMRY_U
Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling  the  lever  operates  the  wip-
ers and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a
couple  of  times  after  the  washer
squirts. 
(After  operating  several  times,  the
wipers  operate  once  more  time
after  a  short  delay  to  prevent  drip-
ping.  However,  the  dripping  pre-
vention  does  not  operate  while  the
vehicle is moving.)
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
Vehicles without a smart key system: 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system: 
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles  are not  blocked if there is  washe r  fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■ When stopping the engine in  an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when the engine is stopp ed, the wind-
shield  wipers  will  operate  in  high  speed  operation.  After  the  v ehicle  is
stopped,  operation  will  return  to  normal  when  the  engine  switch  is  turned  to
“ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  or  IGNITION   ON  mode
(vehicles  with  a  smart  key  system),  or  operation  will  stop  when  the  driver’s
door is opened.

WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When  it  is  cold,  do  not  use  the  washer  fluid  until  the  windshie ld  becomes
warm. The  fluid may freeze  on  the  windshield and cause low visi bility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
■ Portable devices that can be charged
●Portable  devices  compatible with the  Qi  wireless  charging  stand ard  can  be
charged  by  the  wireless  charger.  However,  compatibility  with  all  devices
which meet the Qi wireless charging standard is not guaranteed.
● The  wireless  charger  is  designed  to  supply  low  power  electricit y  (5  W  or
less) to a cellular phone, smartphone, or other portable device .
● However, portable devices, such as the following, can be charge d with more
than 5 W.
• 7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W or l ess.
• Portable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4 can be charged  at 10
W or less.
■ Using the smart key system
During  charging,  when  the  smart  key  system  searches  for  an  elec tronic  key,
charging may be temporarily suspended.
■ If a cover or accessory is attached to the portable device
Do not charge a portable device if a cover or accessory which i s not Qi com-
patible  is  attached.  Depending  on  the  type  of  cover  and/or  acce ssory
attached, it may not be possible to charge the portable device.  If the portable
device is placed on the charging area and does not charge, remo ve the cover

5347-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAMRY_U■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: 
P. 543
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to the “ON” position (v ehicle without
a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicle with a smart k ey
system). Check if the tire press ure warning light comes on or b links.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
After  the  temperature  of  the  tires  has  lowered  sufficiently,  ch eck  the
inflation pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specifie d level.
If  the  warning  light  does  not  turn  off  even  after  several  minut es  have
elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at t he specified
level and perform  initialization. (P.   4 7 5 )
If the warning light does not tu rn off several minutes after the initialization
has  been  performed,  have  the  vehi cle  inspected  by  your  Toyota  dealer
immediately.
If the tire pressure  warning light blinks fo r 1 minute then stays on
There  may  be  a  malfunction  in  the  tire  pressure  warning  system.  Have
the vehicle inspected by you r Toyota dealer immediately.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural caus es
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural caus es such
as  natural  air  leaks  and  tire  inflation  pressure  changes  caused  by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure w ill turn off the
warning light (afte r a few minutes).
■When a tire is replace d with a spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure war ning valve
and  transmitter.  If  a  tire  goes  flat,  the  tire  pressure  warning   light  will  not
turn  off  even  though  the  flat  tire  has  been  replaced  with  the  s pare  tire.
Replace  the  spare  tire  with  the  repaired  tire  and  adjust  the  ti re  inflation
pressure. The tire pressure war ning light will go off after a few minutes.
■Conditions  that  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  functi on
properly
 P.   4 8 0
■Warning buzzer
In  some  cases,  the  buzzer  may  not  be  heard  because  of  noisy  pla ce  or  an
