1423-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Owners Manual_USA_M0C043_en
●When the vehicle is parked in a
pay parking spot where radio
waves are emitted.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the
ground or in a high place, or too
close to the center of the rear
bumper.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, or floor, or in the door
pockets or glove box when the
hybrid system is s tarted or power
switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the doors will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unl ock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on
the door handle, such as in the
rain or in a car wash, when the
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors or the glass hatch are not
opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possib
ility that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor
while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In this
case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery- saving mode to disable the smart
key system. ( P.141)
●If the electronic key is inside the
vehicle and a door handle
becomes wet during a car wash, a
message may be shown on the
multi-information display and a
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work
properly if it comes into contact
with ice, snow, m ud, etc. Clean
the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again.
●A sudden approach to the effec-
tive range or door handle may pre-
vent the doors from being
unlocked. In this case, return the
door handle to the original position
and check that t he doors unlock

Owners Manual_USA_M0C043_en
Responding to the level of
brightness of the headlights of
vehicles behind, the reflected
light is automatically reduced.
Turn the automatic anti-glare
function mode on/off
When the automatic anti-glare func-
tion is in ON mode, the indicator
illuminates.
The function will set to ON mode
each time the power switch is
turned to ON.

*: If equipped
Anti-glare functionDigital 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.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■Before using the Digital Rear-
view Mirror
●Make sure to adjust the mirror
before driving. ( P.162)
• 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.

■Adjusting the display (digital
mirror mode)
●If the displayed image is adjusted,
it may appear distorted. This is not
a malfunction.
●If the brightness of the Digital
Rear-view Mirror is set too high, it
may cause eye strain. Adjust the
Digital Rear-view Mirror to an
appropriate brightness. If your
eyes become tired, change to
optical mirror mode.
●The brightness of the Digital Rear-
view Mirror will ch ange automati-
cally according to the brightness
of the area in front of your vehicle.
■To prevent the light sensors
from malfunctioning
To prevent the light sensors from
malfunctioning, do not touch or
cover them.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■While driving
●Do not adjust the position of the
Digital Rear-view Mirror or
adjust the display settings while
driving.
Stop the vehicle and operate
the Digital Rear-view Mirror
control switches.
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.

■The windshield wiper and
washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on
wiper operation (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Even when the wipers are not in
AUTO mode, vehicle speed affects
the time until the drip prevention
wiper sweep occurs.
With low speed windshield wiper
operation selected, wiper operation
will be switched fro m low speed to
intermittent wiper operation only
when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitiv-
ity is adjusted to the highest level,
the mode cannot be switched.)
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It
may not operate properly when
sunlight from the rising or setting
of the sun intermittently strikes the
windshield, or if b ugs, etc., are
present on the windshield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO

2384-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Owners Manual_USA_M0C043_enmode while the powe
r switch is in
ON, the wipers will operate once
to show that AUTO mode is acti-
vated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, automatic
operation may not occur. In this
case, operate the wipers in any
mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the wash er nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
v oi r.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in AUTO
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in AUTO mode.
Take care that your fingers or any-
thing else do not become caught
in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the
washer fluid until the windshield
becomes warm. The fluid may
freeze on the windshield and
cause low visibility. This may lead
to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■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 con-
tinually.
■When a nozzle becomes
blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota
dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or
other object. The nozzle will be
damaged.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the wipers on longer
than necessary when the hybrid
system is off.
