*1: These lights come on when the engine switch is turned to ON to 
indicate that a system check is 
being performed. They will turn 
off after the engine is started, or 
after a few seconds. There may 
be a malfunction in a system if 
the lights do not come on, or turn 
off. Have the vehicle inspected 
by your Toyota dealer.

light does not come on
Should a safety system light such 
as the ABS and SRS warning light 
not come on when you start the

these systems are not available to 
help protect you in an accident, 
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer 
immediately if this occurs.

1283-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
COROLLA_UP.545.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is 
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not 
operate properly in the following 
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to  the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high 
place when the doors are locked 
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the  ground or in a high place, or too 
close to the center of the rear 
bumper when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, rear package tray or 
floor, or in the door pockets or 
glove box when the engine is 
started or engine switch modes 
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on 
top of the instrument panel or near 
the door pockets when exiting the 
vehicle. Depending on the radio 
wave reception conditions, it may 
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will 
become lockable from the outside, 
possibly trapping the electronic 
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is 
within the effective range, the 
doors may be locked or unlocked 
by anyone. However, only the 
doors detecting the electronic key 
can be used to unl ock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not 
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the engine if the elec-
tronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a 
large amount of water splashes on 
the door handle, such as in the 
rain or in a car wash when the 
electronic key is w ithin the effec-
tive range. (The  doors will auto-
matically be locked after 
approximately 60 seconds if the 
doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is 
used to lock the doors when the 
electronic key is near the vehicle, 
there is a possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocked by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unlock the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked 
from outside of the vehicle and are 
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote control or smart key 
system, the engine cannot be 
started using the smart key sys-
tem. (However, if  the doors have 
been locked from i nside the vehi-
cle, the engine can be started 
using the smart key system.)
If it is necessary to start the 
engine, it can be started using the 
procedure in “If the electronic key 
dose not opera te properly” 
(  P.545).
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recognition signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective range, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the  following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca- tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.127)
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
message may be shown on the 
multi-information display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all

1904-3. Operating the lights and wipers
COROLLA_Ufrom 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, streetlights, traffic 
signals, and illumi nated 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 factors 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, condi tion 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 abl e 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 necess ary to manually 
switch between the high and low 
beams. • When driving in inclement weather 
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms, etc.)
• When the windshi eld is obscured 
by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or 
damaged
• When the camera sensor is  deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the cam- era sensor is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness 
level is equal to that of headlights, 
tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of 
vehicles ahead are turned off, 
dirty, changing color, or not aimed 
properly
• When the vehicle  is hit by water, 
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding 
vehicle
• 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 roads, 
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly  taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• When there is a h ighly reflective 
object ahead of the vehicle, such 
as a sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding  vehicle is highly reflective, such as 
a container on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are  damaged or dirty, or are not aimed 
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or titling  due to a flat tire, a trailer being 
towed, etc.
• When the headlights are changed  between the high beams and low 
beams repeatedly in an abnormal 
manner
• When the driver believes that the  high beams may be flashing or 
dazzling pedestrians or other driv-
ers

■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines  that the vehicle might depart 
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on the 
multi-information display, and a 
warning buzzer will sound to 
alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds, 
check the area around your vehicle 
and carefully operate the steering 
wheel to move the vehicle back to 
the center of the lane.
Vehicle with BSM: When the sys-
tem determines that the vehicle 
might depart from its lane and that 
the possibility of a collision with an 
overtaking vehicle in the adjacent 
lane is high, the lane departure 
alert will operate even if the turn 
signals are operating.
