WARNING
■If a safety system warning light

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these systems are not available to help pro-
tect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

3265-3. Operating the lights and wipers
5-3.Operating the lights and wipers
Operating the switch turns
on the lights as follows:
1 The front position, tail,
license plate and instrument
panel lights turn on.
2 The headlights and all lights
listed above turn on.
3 The headlights, daytime
running lights ( P.326) and all
the lights listed above turn on
and off automatically.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the hybrid system is
started and the parking brake is
released with the headlight switch in the
position. (Illuminate brighter than
the front position lights.) Daytime run-
ning lights are not designed for use at
night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield. Doing so inter-feres with the sensor detecting the level
of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight system to malfunc-tion.
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in or
position: The headlights and front fog
lights turn off after the power switch is
turned to ACC or OFF.
●When the light switch is in posi-
tion: The headlights and all lights turn
off after the power switch is turned to
ACC or OFF.
To turn the lights on again, turn the
power switch to ON, or turn the light
switch to position once and then
back to or position.
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the driver’s door
is opened while the lights are turned on
with the power switch in ACC or OFF.
Headlight switch
The headlights can be oper-
ated manually or automati-
cally.

Driving
The Automatic High Beam indicator will
come on when the system is operating.
■High beams automatic turning on
or off conditions
●When all of the following conditions
are fulfilled, the high beams will be
automatically turned on (after approxi-
mately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) 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 streetlights on the road
ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are
fulfilled, the high beams will be auto-
matically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approxi-
mately 25 km/h (16 mph).
• 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.
■Front camera detection information
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa-
tions:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly
appear from a curve
• 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 beams may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without using the headlights is
detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause the high beams 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
beams on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface
etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage
●The high beams 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 accurately
detect surrounding brightness 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, sand-
storms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog,
mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or dam-
aged
• The front camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the front
camera is extremely high
• Surrounding brightness levels are
