may work in situations where it 
should not be working.
Installing electronic devices and 
radios increases the risk of 
cyber attacks through the 
installed parts, which may lead 
to unexpected accidents and 
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any 
guarantees for problems caused 
by installing non-genuine Toyota 
products.
The installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system in your 
vehicle could affect electronic 
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel 
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system

For safety and security
Front impact sensors
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical  
reaction in the inflators quickly  fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.249)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.272)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.348)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.355)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain  the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 7 2 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will 
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,  such as a parked vehicle or sign 
pole, which can move or deform 
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an  underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under, 
the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, 
it is possible that only the seat belt 
pretensioners will activate.

the door handle, such as in the 
rain or in a car wash when the 
electronic key is within 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 unlocke d by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unloc k the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked 
from outside of the vehicle and are 
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote contr ol or smart key 
system, the engine cannot be 
started using the smart key sys-
tem. (However, if the doors have 
been locked from inside 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 operate properly” 
(  P.382).
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals  will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recogniti on signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective ran ge, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the fo llowing 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.121)
●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 
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work 
properly if it comes into contact 
with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 
the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a 
handle operation immediately 
after entering the effective range 
may prevent the doors from being 
unlocked. Touch the door unlock 
sensor and check that the doors 
are unlocked befo re pulling the 
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in 
the detection area, it may take 
slightly longer to unlock the doors 
after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven 
for extended periods
●To prevent theft of  the vehicle, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be 
deactivated in advance. ( P.412)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce 
key battery depletion. ( P.121)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic 
key when operating the system. 
Do not get the electronic key too 
close to the vehicle when operat-
ing the system from the outside of 
the vehicle.
Depending on the position and hold-
ing condition of the electronic key, 
the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not oper-
ate properly. (The alarm may go off 
accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function m ay not operate.)

1744-3. Operating the lights and wipers
●To make your vehicle more visible 
to other drivers during daytime 
driving, the daytime running lights 
turn on automatically when all of 
the following conditions are met. 
(The daytime running lights are 
not designed for  use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the   
or 
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain 
on after they illumi nate, even if the 
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running 
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light 
system offers gr eater durability 
and consumes less  electricity, so 
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything that blocks the 
sensor is affixed  to the windshield.
Doing so interfere s with the sensor 
detecting the level of ambient light 
and may cause the automatic head-
light system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The 
headlights and tail lights turn off 
30 seconds after the driver’s door 
is opened and closed if the engine 
switch is turned  to ACC or OFF. 
(Vehicles with a  wireless remote 
control: The lights turn off immedi- ately if   on the key is pressed 
after all the doors are closed.)
●When only the tail lights are on: 
The tail lights turn off automati-
cally if the engine switch is turned 
to ACC or OFF and the driver’s 
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the 
engine switch to ON, or turn the light 
switch off once and then back to 
 or   (except for the Canada).
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine 
switch is turned t o OFF or ACC and 
the driver’s door is opened while the 
lights are turned on.
■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 se conds to help 
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.
■Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the battery of the 
vehicle from discharging, if the 
headlights and/or tail lights are on 
when the engine switch is turned off 
the battery saving function will oper-
ate and automatically turn off all the 
lights after approximately 20 min-
utes. When the engine switch is 
turned to ON, the  battery-saving 
function will be disabled.
When any of the following are per-
formed, the battery-saving function 
is canceled once and then reacti-
vated. All the lights  will turn off auto-
matically 20 minutes after the 
Battery- saving function has been 
reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is oper-
ated
●When a door is opened or closed

tions are met, the high beams will 
illuminate automatically:
• 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  lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other 
lights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions 
are met, the headlights will 
change to the low beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 17  mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is  not dark.
• There is a vehi cle ahead with 
lights on.
• There are many streetlights or 
other lights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection
●In the following situations, the high 
beams may not be automatically 
changed to the low beams:
• When a vehicle cuts in front of  your vehicle
• When another vehicle crosses in  front of the vehicle • When vehicles ahead are repeat-
edly detected and then hidden 
due to repeated curves, road 
dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead  approaches from a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no  lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead  are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting 
strong light, such as own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors 
may not operate properly:  P. 1 8 8
●The headlights may change to the 
low beams if a vehicle ahead that 
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic 
signals, and illuminated billboards 
or signs may cause the high 
beams to change to the low 
beams, or the low beams to 
remain on.
●The following may change the tim-
ing at which the headlights 
change to the low beams:
• The brightness o f lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of  vehicles ahead
• The distance between the vehicle  and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle  ahead only has 
lights illuminate d 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
●The headlights may change 
between the high beams and low 
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles 
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys-
tem may not be able to correctly 
detect the brightness of the sur-

roundings. This may cause the 
low beams to remain on or the 
high beams to flash or dazzle 
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In 
such a case, it is necessary to 
manually change between the 
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to  headlights or tail li ghts in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of  vehicles ahead are turned off, 
dirty, changing color, or not aimed 
properly
• When the headlights are repeat-
edly changing between the high 
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is 
inappropriate or when the high 
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians  or other drivers.
• When the vehicle is used in an  area in which vehicles travel on 
the opposite side  of the road of 
the country for wh ich the vehicle 
was designed, for  example using 
a vehicle designed for right-hand 
traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or 
vice versa
