■If a safety system warning
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such
as the ABS and SRS warning light
not come on when you start the
engine, this could mean that
these systems are not available to
help protect you in an accident,
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

Driving
• 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

2404-5. Using the driving support systems
■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn- ing is displayed on the multi-
information display, and a warn-
ing buzzer will sound to alert the
driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds,
check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor:
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane and that the possibility of a col-
lision with an overta
king vehicle in
the adjacent lane is high, the lane
departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and
the side of the road, such as
grass, soil, or a curb
