matically adjusted according to the
number of passengers and the load-
ing condition of the vehicle to
ensure that the headlights do not
interfere with other road users.
■Windshield wiper linked head-
light illumination
When driving during daytime with
the headlight switch turned to , if the windshield wipers are used, the
headlights will turn o
n automatically
after several seconds to help
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.
■12-volt battery-saving function
In order to prevent the 12-volt bat-
tery of the vehicle from discharging,
if the headlights and/or tail lights are
on when the power switch is turned
to OFF, the battery saving function
will operate and au tomatically turn
off all the lights af ter approximately
20 minutes.
When any of the following are per-
formed, the 12-volt battery-saving
function is canceled once and then
reactivated. All the lights will turn off
automatically 20 minutes after the
12-volt battery-saving function has
been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is oper-
ated
●When a door is opened or closed
■If “Headlight System Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitiv-
ity) can be changed.
(Customizable features:  P.572)
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the lights on longer
than necessary when the EV sys-
tem is not operating.

■Preceding vehicles that the sen-
sor may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depend-
ing on the conditions, if the system
cannot provide sufficient decelera-
tion or accelerati on is necessary,
operate the brake pedal or accelera-
tor pedal.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect these types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning

tem may not operate properly.
●When a preceding vehicle brakes
suddenly
●When changing lanes at low
speeds, such as in a traffic jam
In situations where the vehicle
approaches a preceding vehicle
and the system cannot provide
sufficient deceleration, such as

Multi-information display
Turning the Safe Exit Assist on/off
When the system determines that
the possibility of a collision with a
door is high, the target door is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play. Also, if the door is opened
when the outside r ear view mirror
indicator is illuminated, a buzzer
will sound as a warning.
Outside rear view mirror indi-
cators
When a vehicle or bicycle which
may collide with a door (other than
the back door) when opened is
detected, the outside rear view mir-
ror indicator on the detected side
will illuminate. If the door on the
detected side is open, the outside
rear view mirror indicator will blink.
■Outside rear vie w mirror indica-
tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear
view mirror indicator may be difficult
to see.
■Buzzer
If the volume setting of the audio
system is high or the surrounding
area is loud, it may be difficult to
hear the buzzer.
SEA (Safe Exit Assist)*
The Safe Exit Assist is a
system that uses radar sen-
sors installed on the inner
side of the rear bumper to
help occupants judge if an
approaching vehicle or
bicycle may collide with a
door to reduce the possibil-
ity of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●Safe Exit Assist is a supplemen-
tary system that, when the vehi-
cle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of
approaching vehicles and bicy-
cles. As this system alone can-
not be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system
may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, visual confirmation of
safety with the passengers’ own
eyes and mirrors is necessary.

Each time the power switch is
turned to ON, the Safe Exit Assist is enabled.
When the Safe Exit Assist detec ts the following vehicles or bicycles
using a rear side radar sensor, the occupants of the vehicle are
informed through an outside rear view mirror indicator, buzzer, dis-
play on the meter, and voice notification.
A Vehicle or bicycle which has a high possibility of colliding with a
door (other than the back door) when opened
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
Approximately 145ft. (45m) rearward from the front door
*
*: The faster the speed of the approaching vehicle or bicycle, th e door mir-
ror indicator will turn on or fla sh, the farther the vehicle or bicycle is to the
door.
■The Safe Exit Ass ist is opera-
tional when The Safe Exit Assist is operational

llowing conditions
are met:

system may not function cor-
rectly
●Vehicles and bicycles may not be
effectively detect ed in the follow-

WARNING
●Depending on the condition of
the road surface or the vehicle,
the distance between the vehi-
cle and a parking space, etc., it
may not be possible to detect a
parking space or the system
may not be able to provide
assistance to the point the vehi-
cle is fully parked.
●This system will guide the vehi-
cle to appropriate positions for
changing the direction of travel,
however, if you feel that the
vehicle is approaching too close
to an adjacent parked vehicle at
any time, depress the brake
pedal and change the shift posi-
tion. However, if this is per-
formed, the number of times the
vehicle changes direction may
increase, and the vehicle may
be parked at an angle.
●As following objects may not be
detected, make sure to check
the safety of the area around
your vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle if
it may collide with an object.
• Thin objects such as wire, fences, rope, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi- als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, park- ing blocks, etc.)
• Tall objects with upper sections that protrude outward
●Even if there is an object in the
target parking space, it may not
be detected and assistance
may be performed.
●While the system is operating, if
it is likely that your vehicle will
collide with a nearby vehicle,
parking block, object, or person,
depress the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle and press the
Advanced Park main switch to
disable the system.
●Never use only the multimedia
display to view the area behind
the vehicle. The image dis-
played may dif fer than the
actual situation. Using only the
screen when backing up may
lead to an accident, such as a
collision with another vehicle.
When backing up, make sure to
look directly or use the mirrors
to check the safe ty of the area
around your vehicle, especially
behind the vehicle.
●When the ambient temperature
is extremely low, the screen
may appear dark or the dis-
played image may become
unclear. Also, as moving objects
may appear distorted or may
not be able to be seen on the
screen, make sure to directly
check the safety of the area
around your vehicle.
In the following situations, while
the vehicle is stopped and held
by Advanced Park, it may be
canceled and th e vehicle may
start moving. Immediately
depress the brake pedal. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an
accident.
• When the driver’s door is opened
• When operations instructed by the system are not performed
within a certain amount of time
• When the brake pedal is depressed and th e vehicle is
stopped for a certain amount of
time
