L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Automatic light off system
Vehicles without a headlight control sensor
Opening the driver’s door with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in
ACCESSORY or OFF mode will turn the headlights and tail lights off.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
IGNITION ON mode, or turn the headlight switch off once and then back
to or .
Vehicles with a headlight control sensor
When the light switch is in the
position: The headlights turn off
automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY or OFF mode.
When the light switch is in the
AUTO position: The headlights and all
lights turn off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-
TION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the

or position.
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened while the lights
are turned on.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

228 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles equipped with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With “ ” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to inter-
mittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
Rain drop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 80C (176F) or higher, or
-10C (14F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked and if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.

230 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
NOTICE
When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
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
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

Cruise control can be set when
Vehicles with an automatic transmission: The shift lever is in the “D” or
more than range “4” of “S” has been selected.
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set
speed resumes.
Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be
increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then
pushing the lever down to set the new speed.
Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph)
below the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
VSC is activated (if equipped).
The switching operation continues for 5 seconds or more after the center
differential lock switch has been operated.
If the warning message for the cruise control is shown on the multi-
information display
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels
immediately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise
control system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

254 2-4. Using other driving systems
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate
The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while
the vehicle is stopped.
Vehicle height control has not been frequently used.
The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -30°C (-22°F).
There is ice on the suspension.
Driving on bumpy roads which may cause the suspension to fully elon-
gate.
If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with
the center differential lock system activated.
Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid
temperature drops below -15°C (5°F).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature
drops below -30°C (-22°F).
In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, the vehicle height
will not change. Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and
the suspension fluid has been warmed to within normal operating limits,
the 4-Wheel AHC will begin operating and the vehicle height will auto-
matically change to the selected mode.
When the suspension fluid is around -30°C (-22°F), the vehicle height
may not be able to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is operating. In
this case, push “ ” then “ ” on the height select switch after driving for
a short time longer to select the desired vehicle height.
Parking and stopping tips
If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle
height may gradually lower. When parking, make sure there is nothing
under the vehicle that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehi-
cle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the
engine is stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the
engine is started.

Four-wheel drive system
Use the four-wheel drive control switch and center differential lock/
unlock switch to select the following transfer and center differential
modes.
Four-wheel drive control switch
“H4” (high speed position)

roads.
“L4” (low speed position)
Driving requiring maximum
power and traction such as
climbing or descending steep
hills, off-road driving, and hard
pulling in sand or mud, etc.
Center differential lock/unlock switch
Lock the center differential
when your vehicle’s wheels
get stuck in a ditch or when
driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface.
Unlock the center differential
after the wheels have been
freed, or after moving to a flat,
non-slippery surface.

Advice for driving on slippery roads
If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to “L4” and the shift lever to
the “2” range of “S” while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the
brake can be controlled effectively by the Active TRC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
Use the “1” range of “S” of the shift lever for maximum power and traction
when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
The center differential lock/unlock button can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The vehicle speed is less than 100 km/h (60 mph).
Locking/unlocking the center differential
When the center differential is locked, VSC is automatically turned off.
(The center differential lock and VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)
If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator
blinks. If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center
differential, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or
drive in reverse.
If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.
