●If the display is difficult to see due
to reflected light, close the sun-
shade for the moon roof or the
electronic sunshade for the pan-
oramic moon roof.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when driving in the
dark, such as at night. None of
them indicates that a malfunction
has occurred.
• Colors of objects in the displayed image may differ from their actual
color.
• Depending on the height of the lights of the vehicle behind, the
area around the vehicle may
appear white and blurry.
• Automatic image adjustment for
brighter surrounding image may
cause flickering.
If it is difficult to see the displayed
image or flickering bothers you,
change to optical mirror mode.
●The Digital Rearview Mirror may
become hot while it is in digital
mirror mode.
This is not a malfunction.
●Depending on your physical con-
dition or age, it may take longer
than usual to focus on the dis-
played image. In this case,
change to optical mirror mode.
●Do not let passengers stare at the
displayed image when the vehicle
is being driven, as doing so may
cause motion sickness.
■When the system malfunctions
If the symbol shown in the illustra-
tion is displayed when using the
Digital Rearview Mirror in digital mir-
ror mode, the system may be mal-
functioning. The symbol will
disappear in a few seconds. Oper-
ate the lever, change to optical mir-
ror mode and have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■Adjusting the mirror height
The height of the rear view mir-
ror can be adjusted to suit your
driving posture.
Change to optical mirror mode,
adjusting the height of the rear
view mirror by moving it up and
down.
■Display settings (digital mir-
ror mode)
Settings of the display in the dig-
ital mirror mode, on/off operation
of the automatic anti-glare func-
tion, etc. can be changed.

gers. Turn on the rear window
defogger to turn on the outside rear
view mirror defoggers. ( P.329,

■Automatic adjustment of the
mirror angle (if equipped)
A desired mirror face angle can be
entered to memory and recalled
automatically by the driving position
memory. ( P.144)
■Linked mirror function when
reversing (if equipped)
When either “L” or “R” of the mirror
select switch is selected, the outside
rear view mirrors will automatically
angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better
view of the ground.
To disable this function, select nei-
ther “L” nor “R”.

●Do not drive with the mirrors
folded.
●Both the driver and passenger
side mirrors must be extended
and properly adjusted before
driving.
Adjustment procedure

1633-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
HIGHLANDER_U

Before driving
the vehicle is reversing, adjust the
mirror angle at a desired position
with the shift lever in R.
The adjusted angle will be memo-
rized and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle
whenever the shift lever is shifted to
R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt posi-
tion of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with
the shift lever in other than R).
Therefore, if the normal position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is
changed, readjust the angle in
reversing.
Push the mirror back in the
direction of the vehicle’s rear.
WARNING
■When the mirror defoggers
are
operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror
surfaces, as they can become
very hot and burn you.
Folding the mirrors

4487-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HIGHLANDER_U
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train,
axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.
Fluid leaks under the vehicle
(Water dripping from the air
conditioning after use is nor-
mal.)
 Flat-looking tires or uneven
tire wear
 Engine coolant temperature
gauge needle continually
points higher than normal
 Changes in exhaust sound
 Excessive tire squeal when
cornering
 Strange noises related to the
suspension system
 Pinging or other noises
related to the engine
 Engine missing, stumbling or
running roughly
 Appreciable loss of power
 Vehicle pulls heavily to one
NOTICE
■Using a flatbed truck
Do not overly tighten the tie
downs or the vehicle may be
damaged.
Emergency towing
If you think something
is wrong
If you notice any of the fol-
lowing symptoms, your
vehicle probably needs
adjustment or repair. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations
are heavier than usual, grip the
steering wheel firmly and operate
it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Be sure to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result
in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible. Adjust the
tire inflation pressure immedi-
ately.
●Vehicles with a compact spare
tire: If the tire pressure warning
light comes on even after tire
inflation pressure adjustment, it
is probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, includ ing the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS-tire pres sure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
