When Driving
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the com-
bination meter turns on.
■Auto-light control (if equipped)
When the headlight switch is in the position and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or
darkness and automatical ly turns the headlights, other exterior
lights and dashboard illumination on or off.
■ Headlights
●If the light switch is left on, the lights will automatically switch off approxi-
mately 30 seconds after switching the ignition off.
The time setting can be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 584.
● To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the
engine is off unless safety requires them.
■ Auto-light control
●The headlights, other exterior lights and dashboard illuminatio n may not turn
off immediately even if the surrounding area becomes well-lit because the
light sensor determines that it is night time if the surrounding area is contin-
uously dark for several minutes such as inside long tunnels, tr affic jams
inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the position.
● If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in , and the
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper cont rol for sev-
eral seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the hea dlights
may be turned on.
● The dashboard illumination can be adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster.
Also, the day/night mode can be changed by rotating the knob un til a beep
sound is heard.
To adjust the brightness of the dashboard illumination:
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on P. 158.
● The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 584.

NOTICE
●The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in
the position and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades could be damaged when th e wip-
ers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure
the wipers are turned off completely when it is particularly te mpting to
leave the engine running. This is particularly important when clearing ice
and snow.
● Do not shade the light sensor by adher-
ing a sticker or a label on the wind-
shield. Otherwise the light sensor will
not operate correctly.

When Driving
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire b y a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of th e blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the rig ht-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should opera te normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as s oon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-wa y. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■ Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibilit y, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protect ion in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the winds hield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, m ake sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

When Driving
●With auto-wiper control
Turn the wipers on by pressing
the lever up or down.
■Auto-wiper control
When the wiper lever is in the position, the rain sensor
senses the amount of rainfall on
the windshield and turns the wip-
ers on or off automatically
(off―intermittent―low speed―
high speed).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor
can be adjusted by turning the
switch on the wiper lever.
From the center position (normal), rotate the switch upward for higher
sensitivity (faster response) or rotate it downward for less sensitivity
(slower response).

3-4. Switches and Controls
●Switching the auto-wiper lever from the to the position while driv-
ing activates the windshield wipers once, after which they oper ate according
to the rainfall amount.
● The auto-wiper control may not operate when the rain sensor tem perature is
about -10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or about 85 °C (185 °F) or higher.
● If the windshield is coated with water repellent, the rain sens or may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall correctly and the auto-wip er control may
not operate properly.
NOTICE
● When the wiper lever is in the position and the ignition is sw itched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases:
• If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped wi th a cloth.
• If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from e ither outside
or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is
in the position and the ignition is switched ON as fingers cou ld be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades damaged when the wipers acti-
vate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely (when it is most likely that t he engine is
left running) this is particularly important when clearing ice and snow.
●Do not shade the rain sensor by adher-
ing a sticker or a label on the wind-
shield. Otherwise the rain sensor will
not operate correctly.

● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under t he follow-
ing conditions.
• The engine is running.
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not
illuminate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Co nsequently,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the f ollowing
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicl e ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extreme ly low or
high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) sys-
tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the r ear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and e xiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers
the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water v apor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.
