AHS (Adaptive
High-beam System)*
The Adaptive High-beam Sys-
tem uses a camera sensor
located behind the upper por-
tion of the windshield to
assess the brightness of the
lights of vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automatically
controls the headlight light dis-
tribution as necessary.

High-beam System. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high
beams on or off manually if neces- sary.

vehicles ahead is partially not
illuminated while all other areas
continue to be illuminated with
the high beams.
The shaded high beams help optimize
forward visibility while reducing the daz-
zling effect on the drivers of vehicles
ahead.
 Adjusts the distance that the low
beams are projected according
to the distance to a preceding
vehicle.
1 Press the Adaptive High-beam
System switch.
2 Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in the
or position.
The AHS indicator will come on when
the system is operating.
■Operating conditions of the Adap- tive High-beam System
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically and the system will
operate: • The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
●When all of the following conditions
are met, the shaded high beams will turn on and the distance that the low
beams are projected will be adjusted
automatically, depending on the loca- tion of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams or shaded high beams will be changed to the low
beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 60 km/h (38 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead. • Vehicles ahead are moving quickly
and the high beams may blind the
drivers of the other vehicles.

beams in the following situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead are hidden from
sight due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to
the shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without
its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to
the shaded high beams, cause the
high beams not to change to the shaded high beams, or change the
area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper- ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a
two-wheeled vehicle • The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface
etc.) • The number of passengers and
amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the
headlights may change unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the following sit uations the system 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 daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low beams.
• When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• When the windshield 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 camera
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 vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-
ing 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 inter-
mittently changing brightness and
darkness • When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel roads, etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly tak- ing curves or driving on a winding
road
• When there is a highly 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 con-
tainer on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or tilting
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 drivers

2044-3. Operating the lights and wipers

which vehicles travel on the opposite side of the road of the country for
which the vehicle was designed, for
example using a vehicle designed for right-hand traffic in a left-hand traffic
area, or vice versa

2084-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper
operation (vehicles with rain-sens- ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent
wiper interval.
■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 bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the
wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation
may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■When stopping the engine in an
emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when the engine is stopped, the wind-
shield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped, operation will return to normal when the
engine switch is turned to ON, or opera-
tion will stop when the driver’s door is opened.
WA R N I N G
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in AUTO mode
(vehicles with rain-sensing wind- shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in AUTO mode. Take care that
your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the
windshield and cause low visibility.
This may lead to an accident, result- ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump
may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
