1 With the headlights on, push 
the lever away from you to 
turn on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the 
center position to turn the high 
beams off.
2Pull the lever toward you and 
release it to flash the high

You can flash the high beams with 
the headlights on or off.1Press the Automatic High 
Beam switch.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer 
than necessary when the engine 
is not running.
Turning on the high beam 
headlights
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.
■To prevent unintentional 
operation of the Automatic 
High Beam System

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-

roundings. This may cause the 
low beams to remain on or the 
high beams to flash or dazzle 
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In 
such a case, it is necessary to 
manually change between the 
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to  headlights or tail li ghts in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of  vehicles ahead are turned off, 
dirty, changing color, or not aimed 
properly
• When the headlights are repeat-
edly changing between the high 
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is 
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 wh ich the vehicle 
was designed, for  example using 
a vehicle designed for right-hand 
traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or 
vice versa
• When it is necessary to disable 
the system:  P. 1 8 4
• Situations in which the sensors  may not operate properly:  P. 1 8 8
■Temporarily reducing front 
camera sensitivity (for the 
U.S.A.)
The sensitivity o f the front camera 
can be temporarily reduced.
1 Turn the engine  switch off with 
the following conditions met.
• The headlight switch is in the   
or   position.
• The headlight switch lever is in the  low beam position.
• The automatic High Beam switch  is on.
2 Press the engine switch to ON.
3 Within 60 seconds after perform-
ing step 2, push the headlight 
switch lever to the high beam 
position then pull it to the original  position quickly 10 times, then 
leave the lever in its original posi-
tion.
■Changing to the high 
beams
Push the lever forward.
The Automatic High Beam indicator 
will turn off and the  high beam indi-
cator will turn on.
Pull the lever to its original position 
to enable the Automatic High Beam 
system again.
■Changing to the low beams
Press the Automatic High Beam 
switch.
The Automatic High Beam indicator 
will turn off.
Press the switch to enable the 
Automatic High Beam system 
again.
Turning the high beams

■Temporarily changing to 
the low beams
It is recommended to switch to 
the low beams when use of the 
high beams is inappropriate or 
when the high beams may 
cause problems or distress to 
other drivers or pedestrians 
nearby.
Pull the lever rearward and then 
return it to its original position.
The high beams will illuminate 
while the lever is pulled, however, 
after the lever is returned to its orig-
inal position, t he low beams will 
remain on for a certain amount of 
time. After this, the Automatic High 
Beam system will operate.
Operating the   lever oper-
ates the wipers or washer as fol-
lows.

■The windshield wiper and 
washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■If no windshield washer fluid 
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are 
not blocked if there is washer fluid in 
the windshield washer fluid reser-
voir.
■When stopping the engine in an 
emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operat-
ing when the engine is stopped, the 
windshield wipers will operate in 
high speed operation. After the vehi-
cle is stopped, operation will return 
to normal when the engine switch is 
turned to ON.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of 
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the 
washer fluid unt il the windshield 
becomes warm. The fluid may 
freeze on the windshield and 
cause low visibility. This may lead 
to an accident, resulting in death 
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is 
empty
Do not operate the switch continu-
ally as the washer fluid pump may 
overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes 
blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota 
dealer.Do not try to clear it with a 
pin or other object. The nozzle will 
be damaged.

such as the following:
• Tunnels
• Truss bridges
• Gravel roads
• Rutted, snow-covered roads
• Walls
• Large trucks
• Manhole covers
• Guardrail
• Metal plates
●When near a step or protrusion

WARNING
■Front camera installation area 
on the windshield
If the system determines that the 
windshield may be fogged up, it 
will automatically operate the 
heater to defog the part of the 
windshield around the front cam-
era. When cleaning, etc., be care-
ful not to touch the area around 
the front camera until the wind-
shield has cooled sufficiently, as 
touching it may cause burns.
