4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
4 Temporary operation
When “AUTO” is selected, the wipers  
will operate automatically when the 
sensor detects falling rain. The system 
automatically adjusts wiper timing in 
accordance with rain volume and vehi-
cle speed.
When “AUTO” is selected, the sen- 
sor sensitivity can be adjusted as  
follows by turning the switch ring. 
5 Increases the rain-sensing wind- 
shield wiper sensitivity 
6 Decreases the rain-sensing  
windshield wiper sensitivity 
7  Washer/wiper dual oper- 
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers  
and washer. 
Wipers will automatically operate a cou- 
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer  can be operated when 
The engine switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper  operation 
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent  
wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor
●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.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of  windshield wipers in AUTO mode 
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.

tures.
• Engine oil 
• Engine coolant 
• Washer fluid
 Have a service technician  
inspect the condition of the bat- 
tery. 
 Have the vehicle fitted with four  
snow tires or purchase a set of  
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size  
and brand, and that chains match the 
size of the tires.

manner appropriate to the pre- 
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires 
Observe the following precautions to  
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or  
serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended level of  air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being  
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some 
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains 
Observe the following precautions to  reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi- 
cle being unable to be driven safely,  and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains  
being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph),  whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-ing operations that cause sudden  
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle  control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires 
Request repairs or replacement of  snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,  
or any reliable repairer or legitimate  tire retailers.This is because the removal and  
attachment of snow tires affects the  operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

ant” or a similar high quality ethylene  
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine,  non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a  mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 
35°C [-31°F]) 
For more details about coolant, contact  any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing 
Visually check the radiator, hoses,  engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and water pump. 
If you cannot find a leak, have any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks  in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser and  
intercooler clear away any foreign  
objects. If either of the above parts  
is extremely dirty or you are not  
sure of their condition, have your  
vehicle inspected by any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
If the washer fluid level is at “1/2”,  
add washer fluid.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot 
Do not remove the engine coolant  reservoir cap. 
The cooling system may be under  
pressure and may spray hot coolant if  the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant 
Coolant is neither plain water nor  straight antifreeze. The correct mix-ture of water and antifreeze must be  
used to provide proper lubrication,  corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant  
label.
■If you spill coolant 
Be sure to wash it off with water to  prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

denser and intercooler
WARNING
■When the engine is hot 
Do not touch the radiator, condenser  
or intercooler as they may be hot and  cause serious injuries, such as burns.
Adding the washer fluid
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid

Maintenance and care
The battery is located in the center  
of luggage compartment.
■Before recharging 
When recharging, the battery produces  hydrogen gas which is flammable and  
explosive. Therefore, observe the fol- lowing precautions before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and  
disconnecting the charger cables to  the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the battery
●Unlocking the doors using the smart entry & start system may not be possi- 
ble immediately after reconnecting the  battery. If this happens, use the wire-less remote control or the mechanical  
key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine  switch in ACCESSORY mode. The engine may not start with the engine  
switch turned off. However, the engine  will operate normally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon- 
nected, the vehicle will return the 
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than  washer fluid 
Do not use soapy water or engine  antifreeze instead of washer fluid.Doing so may cause streaking on the  
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as  damaging the pump leading to prob-lems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid 
Dilute washer fluid with water as nec- 
essary. Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid
