NOTICE
■Front sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the sensor operates correctly:
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● On cold days when there is a large temperature difference between the
vehicle interior and outside air temperatures, the windshield fogs up easily.
If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor becomes fogged up
or covered with condensation or ice, the system temporarily stops working
and the PCS warning light flashes. In that case, use the front defroster to
remove the fog, condensation, or ice. ( P. 308, 317)
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. Also, even when using a glass
coating agent, if water droplets and so forth form on the windshield, use
the wipers to remove them.
The pre-crash safety system may not function properly if the windshield is
dirty or covered with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc.
If the inner side of the windshield where the front sensor is installed is dirty,
do not attempt to remove the front sensor. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration) or use a glass coating
agent.
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below
the bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the
front sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sen-
sor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
