Digital Rear-view Mir-
ror*
The Digital Rear-view Mirror 
is a system that uses the 
camera on the rear of the 
vehicle and displays its 
image on the display of the 
Digital Rear-view Mirror. 
The Digital Rear-view Mirror 
can be changed between 
optical mirror mode and dig-
ital mirror mode by operat-
ing the lever.
The Digital Rear-view Mirror 
allows the driver to see the 
rear view despite obstruc-
tions, such as the head 
restraints or luggage, ensur-
ing rear visibility. Also, the 
rear seats are not displayed 
and privacy of the passen-
gers is enhanced.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
■Before using the Digital Rear-
view Mirror
●Make sure to adjust the mirror 
before driving. ( P.147)
• Change to optical mirror mode  and adjust the position of the 
Digital Rear-view Mirror so that 
the area behind your vehicle 
can be viewed properly.
• Change to digital mirror mode  and adjust the display settings.
●As the range of the image dis-
played by the Digital Rear-view 
Mirror is different from that of 
the optical mirror, make sure to 
check this difference before 
driving.

Failure to do so may cause a 
steering wheel operation error, 
resulting in an unexpected acci-
dent.
●Always pay attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings.
The size of the vehicles and other 
objects may look different when in 
digital mirror mode and optical 
mirror mode.
When backing up, make sure to 
directly check the safety of the 
area around your vehicle, espe-
cially behind the vehicle.
Additionally, if a vehicle 
approaches from the rear in the 
dark, such as at night, the sur-
rounding area may appear dim.

1Press the Automatic High 
Beam switch. 2
Push the lever away from 
you with the headlight switch 
in the   or   position.
The Automatic High Beam indicator 
will come on  when the system is 
operating.
■High beam automatic turning 
on or off conditions
●When all of the f ollowing condi-
tions are fulfilled, the high beam 
will be automatica lly turned on 
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is 
dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with  headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few str eetlights on the 
road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions 
are fulfille d, the high beam will be 
automatically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below  approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is 
not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or  tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the  road ahead.
■Camera sensor detection infor-
mation
●The high beam ma y not be auto-
matically turned off in the following 
situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sud- denly appear from a curve
Automatic High Beam
The Automatic High Beam 
uses an in-vehicle camera 
sensor to assess the bright-
ness of streetlights, the 
lights of vehicles ahead etc., 
and automatically turns the 
high beam on or off as nec-
essary.
WA R N I N G
■Limitations of the Automatic 
High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Auto-
matic High Beam. Always drive 
safely, taking care to observe your 
surroundings and turning the high 
beam on or off manually if neces-
sary.
■To prevent incorrect opera-
tion of the Automatic High 
Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.

High Beam system

2144-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• 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 a wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no  lights
●The high beam may be turned off 
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog 
lights without using the headlights 
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic 
signals, and illumi nated billboards 
or signs may cause the high beam 
to switch to the low beams, or the 
low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect 
the amount of time taken to turn 
the high beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog  lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles 
ahead
• The movement and direction of  vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has  operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle
• The condition of  the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road 
surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and  amount of luggage
●The high beam may be turned on 
or off when the driver does not 
expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not 
be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the 
system may not be able to accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness levels. This may cause the 
low beams to remain on or the 
high beams to cause problems for 
pedestrians, vehicles ahead or 
other parties. In these cases, 
manually switch between the high 
and low beams.
• In bad weather ( rain, snow, fog, 
sandstorms, etc.) • The windshield is obscured by 
fog, mist, i ce, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or dam- aged
• The camera sensor is deformed or  dirty
• When the temperature of the cam-
era sensor is extremely high
• Surrounding brightness levels are  equal to those of headlights, tail 
lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of  vehicles ahead are turned off, 
dirty, changing 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 
intermittently changing brightness 
and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly  driving ascending/descending 
roads, or roads with rough, bumpy 
or uneven surfaces (such as 
stone-paved roads, gravel roads, 
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly  taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• There is a highly reflective object  ahead of the vehicle, such as a 
sign or mirror
• The back of a vehicle ahead is  highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• The vehicle’s headlights are dam- aged or dirty, or are not aimed 
properly
• The vehicle is listing or titling due  to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, 
etc.
• The high beam and low beam are  repeatedly being switched 
between in an abnormal manner
• The driver believes that the high  beam may be causing problems 
or distress to other drivers or 
pedestrians nearby

■Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is 
designed to operate under the 
assumption that the driver will 
drive safely, and is designed to 
help reduce the impact to the 
occupants and the  vehicle in the 
case of a collision or assist the 
driver in normal driving condi-

As there is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not overly rely on this 
system. The driver is always 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s su rroundings and 
driving safely.
