3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
■Note for locking the doors
●Touching  the  door  lock  sensor  while  wearing  gloves  may  delay  or  prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor aga in.
● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, rec ognition sig-
nals  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 with in the  effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the  key in a posi-
tion 6  ft. (2  m)  or  more  separate  from the  vehicle  while  the  ve hicle  is  being
washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
● If  the  electronic  key  is  inside  the  vehicle  and  a  door  handle  b ecomes  wet
during  a  car  wash,  a  message  may  be  shown  on  the  multi-informat ion  dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off t he alarm, lock
all the doors.
● The  lock  sensor  may  not  work  properly  if  it  comes  into  contact  with  ice,
snow,  mud,  etc.  Clean  the  lock  sensor  and  attempt  to  operate  it   again,  or
use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.
● Fingernails  may  scrape  against  the  door  during  operation  of  the   door  han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface  of the door.
■ Notes for the un locking function
● Gripping the front door handle when wearing a glove may not unl ock or lock
the door.
● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operati on may pre-
vent  the  doors  from  being  unlocked.  In  this  case,  return  the  do or  handle  to
the  original  position  and  check  that  the  doors  have  unlocked  be fore  pulling
the door handle.
● If  there  is  another  electronic  key  in  the  detection  area,  it  ma y  take  slightly
longer  to  unlock  the  doors  after  one  of  the  front  door  handles  is  gripped  or
one of sliding door handles is pulled.
■ When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To  prevent  theft  of  the  vehicle,  do  not  leave  the  electronic  ke y  within  6 ft.
(2 m) of the vehicle.
● The smart key system can be deactivated in advance. ( P. 544)

1803-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
SIENNA_OM_OM08019U_(U)
Auto anti-glare inside rear view mirror
Responding  to  the  level  of  brightness  of  the  headlights  of  vehi cles
behind, the reflected light is automatically reduced.
Changing  automatic  anti-glare
function mode
On/off
When  the  automatic  anti-glare
function  is  in  on  mode,  the  indica-
tor illuminates.
The  function  will  set  to  on  mode
each  time  the  engine  switch  is
turned  to  “ON”  position  (vehicles
without  a  smart  key  system)  or
IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with
a smart key system).
Pressing the button turns the function to off mode. (The indica tor also turns
off.)
■ To  prevent  sensor  error  (vehicles  with  auto  anti-glare  inside  rear  view
mirror)
Indicator
To  ensure  that  the  sensors  operate  prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.
WARNING
Do not adjust the position of the mirror while driving.
Doing  so  may  lead  to  mishandling  of  the  vehicle  and  cause  an  ac cident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system (if equipped)
●Bulb type: The daytime running lights illuminate using the same  lights as the
headlights and illuminate dimmer than the headlights.
● LED type: The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the
parking lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
● To  make  your  vehicle  more  visible  to  other  drivers  during  dayti me  driving,
the  daytime  running  lights  turn  on  automatically  when  all  of  the  following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The  headlight  switch  is  in  the    (Canada  only),    or  “AUTO”
*
position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking
brake is set again.
● For  the  U.S.A.:  Daytime  running  lights  can  be  turned  off  by  ope rating  the
headlight switch.
● Compared  to  turning  on  the  headlights,  the  daytime  running  ligh t  system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it  can help improve
fuel economy.
■ 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  interferes  with  the  sensor
detecting  the  level  of  ambient  light  and
may  cause  the  automatic  headlight  sys-
tem to malfunction.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Automatic High Beam
Push the lever away from you with
the  headlight  switch  in  the 
position.
The  Automatic  High  Beam  indica-
tor  will  come  on  when  the  head-
lights  are  turned  on  automatically
to  indicate  that  the  system  is
active.
When  all  of  the  following  conditions  are  fulfilled,  high  beam  will  be
automatically turned on (after approximately 1 second):
● Vehicle speed is above appr oximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
● The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
● There are no oncoming or precedi ng vehicles with headlights or tail
lights turned on.
If  any  of  the  following  conditions  are  fulfilled,  high  beam  wil l  be  auto-
matically turned off:
● Vehicle speed drops below app roximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
● The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
● Oncoming  or  preceding  vehicles  have  headlights  or  tail  lights
turned on.
The Automatic  High  Beam  uses  an  in-vehicle  camera  sensor  to
assess the brightness of streetli ghts, the lights of oncoming and
preceding  vehicles,  etc.,  and  au tomatically  turns  high  beam  on
or off as necessary.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■The Automatic High Beam can be operated when
The  engine  switch  is  in  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  s mart  key  sys-
tem) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
■ Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following  situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve.
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another.
● High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is usin g fog lights
without using the headlights is detected.
● Houselights,  streetlights,  red  traffic  signals,  and  illuminated  billboards  or
signs may cause the high beam to turn off.
● The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to tu rn high beam
on or off:
• The  brightness  of  headlights,  fog  lights,  and  tail  lights  of  o ncoming  and
preceding vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage
● High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver .

Driving
●In  the  situations  below,  the  system  may  not  be  able  to  correctl y  detect  the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby p edestrians
to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the hi gh beam on
or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights , tail lights
or fog lights.
• Vehicles  ahead  have  headlights  that  are  either  switched  off,  d irty,  are
changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• 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 tracks etc.)
• When  frequently  and  repeatedly  taking  curves  or  driving  on  a  w inding
road
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is lifting or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched betwe en in
an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems  or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
