puter that will record certain data, such as: • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-crash safety system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead or another object)
The pre-crash safety system does not record conversations, sounds
or pictures.
∗: If equipped
The Toyota Safety Sense system consists of the following drive
assist systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driv-

Push the lever away from you with
the headlight switch in posi-
tion.
The Automatic High Beam indica-
tor will come on when the head-
lights are turned on automatically
to indicate that the system is

assess the brightness of streetlights, the lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam on
or off as necessary.

on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle only has operational lights on one side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehi cle is a two-wheeled vehicle

In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestrians
to the high beam. Therefore, you shoul d consider turning the high beams on
or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The front sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights that are either switched off,
dirty, are changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis- tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
