2524-3. Operating the lights and wipers
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
This system allows the headlights and front position lights to be turned
on for 30 seconds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and
release it with the light switch is in
or after turning the
engine switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry

with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and
release it again to turn off the
lights.
Q Daytime running light system (if equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch in . (Illuminate
brighter than the front position lights.) The daytime running light system is not
designed for use at night.
Q Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Extended Headlight Lighting system (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, 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 headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

Models for model code destination Blank* (except for Kazakhstan)
In order to prevent the battery of the vehicle from discharging, if the head-
lights and/or tail lights are on when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the battery-saving function will operate and auto-
matically turn off all the lights after approximately 20 minutes.
Models for model code destination W*, and Kazakhstan
In order to prevent the battery of the vehicle from discharging, if the light
switch is in or position when the engine switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), the battery-saving function will operate and
automatically turn off all the lights after approximately 20 minutes.
When any of the following are performed, the battery-saving function is can-
celed once and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20
minutes after the battery-saving function has been reactivated:
O When the headlight switch is operated
O When a door is closed once and then opened
*: See “Checking your vehicle’s model” if you are not sure of which model
your vehicle is. ( P. 12)
Q Automatic headlight leveling system (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number
of passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the
headlights do not interfere with other road users.
Q Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 646)
NOTICE
QTo prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.

WARNING
QTo avoid malfunction of the radar sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
O Keep the radar sensor and the radar sensor cover clean at all times.
O Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers) or
other items to the radar sensor, radar sensor cover or surrounding area.
O Do not subject the radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a
strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
O Do not disassemble the radar sensor.
O Do not modify or paint the radar sensor or radar sensor cover.
O In the following cases, the radar sensor must be recalibrated. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for details.

QIf a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in
the system.
O In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
SituationActions
When the area around a cam-
era is covered with dirt, mois-
ture (fogged up, covered with
condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matter
Using the wiper and A/C function,
remove the dirt and other attached mat-
ter. ( P. 435, 443)
When the temperature around
the front camera is outside of
the operational range, such as
when the vehicle is in the sun or
in an extremely cold environ-
ment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehi-
cle was parked, depending on its type,
the sunlight reflected from the surface
of the sunshade may cause the tem-
perature of the front camera to become
excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front
camera is obstructed, such as
when the hood is open or a
sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the
front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System
Unavailable” is displayed.
Check whether there is attached materi-
als on the radar sens or and radar sensor
cover, and if there is, remove it.

O In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-
tional.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such
as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may
judge the surrounding environment can not be properly recognized. In
that case, “Pre-Collision System Unavailable” is displayed.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The system can detect the following:
O Ve hi cl e s
O Bicyclists
O Pedestrians
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera
to detect objects ( P. 273) in front of the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an
object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to help
the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision
or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning
timing can be changed. ( P. 277)
