When the headlight switch lever is
in the low beam position, the AHB

■Conditions to t urn the high
beams on/off automatically
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will
be turned on automatically (after
approximately 1 second):
• 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 headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the
road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions
are met, the high beams will turn
off automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below
approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their head- lights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the
road ahead.
■Front camera detection infor-
mation
●The high beams may not be auto-
matically turned off in the following
situations:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears from around a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be detected due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a faraway lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead
are not on
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without its headlights turned
on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illuminated billboards
or signs and other reflective
objects may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following fact ors may affect
the amount of time taken for the
high beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and ta il lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has
operational lights 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 in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be able to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necessary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.

■The windshield wiper and
washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on
wiper operation (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Even when the wipers are not in
AUTO mode, vehicle speed affects
the time until the drip prevention
wiper sweep occurs.
With low speed windshield wiper
operation selected, wiper operation
will be switched fro m low speed to
intermittent wiper operation only
when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitiv-
ity is adjusted to the highest level,
the mode cannot be switched.)
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●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 b ugs, etc., are
present on the windshield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO
mode while the power switch is in
ON, the wipers will operate once
to show that AUTO mode is acti-
vated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, automatic
operation may not occur. In this
case, operate the wipers in any
mode other than AUTO mode.

■Front door opening linked wind-
shield wiper stop function
(vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
When is selected and the wind-
shield wipers are operating, if a front
door is opened while the vehicle is
stopped and the P shift position is
selected, operation of the wind-
shield wipers will be stopped to pre-
vent anyone near the vehicle from
being sprayed by water from the
wipers. When the front door is
closed, wiper operation will resume.
■When stopping fuel cell system
in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operat-
ing when fuel cell system is
stopped, the windshield wipers will
operate in high speed operation.
After the vehicle is stopped, opera-
tion will return to normal when the
power switch is turned to ON, or
operation will stop w hen the driver’s
door is opened.
When the windshield wipers are
not being used, they retract to
below the hood. To enable the
windshield wipers to be lifted
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in AUTO
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in AUTO mode.
Take care that your fingers or any-
thing else do not become caught
in the windshield wipers.
■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

may be caused if the lever is
pulled toward you and held con-
tinually.
■When a nozzle becomes
blocked

■Fuel types
P.497
■Notes on fueling
●Fueling will not be possible if the
pressure inside the vehicle’s
hydrogen tanks is higher than the
supply pressure of the hydrogen
station. If the hydrogen tanks are
more than half full, the vehicle will
be unable to fuel at a H35 dis-
penser. A hydrogen station with a
H70 dispenser (supply pressure of
10150 psi) [70 MPa, 714 kgf/cm
2,
700 bar] is necessary to com-
pletely fill hydrogen tanks.
●If the fueling cannot be completed
due to trouble with the station
equipment, call the number indi-
cated on the equipment.
Opening the fuel door
Fuel with compressed
hydrogen gas only at hydro-
gen stations.
Fuel at hydrogen stations
conforming with the Society
of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) J2601 fueling proto-
col or laws that may super-
sede such SAE protocols.

The filling time and amount
of fuel may depend on out-

and when to check the expi-
ration. Consult your Toyota
