WARNING

■

For the shift lever

●

Do not remove the shift lever 

knob or use anything but a gen-

uine TOYOTA shift lever knob. 

Also, do not hang anything on 

the shift lever. Doing so could 

prevent the shift lever from 

returning to position, causing 

unexpected accidents to occur 

when the vehicle is in motion.

●

In order to prevent the shift 

position from accidentally being 

changed, do not touch the shift 

lever when not using them.

■

●

Do not press the P position 

switch while the vehicle is mov-

ing.

If the P position switch is 

pressed when driving at very 

low speeds (for example, 

directly before stopping the 

vehicle), the vehicle may stop 

suddenly when the shift position 

switches to P, which could lead 

to an accident.

●

In order to prevent the shift 

position from accidentally being 

changed, do not touch the P 

position switch when not using 

them.

nate using the same lights as the 

parking lights and illuminate 

brighter than the parking lights. 

(On some models: Using the 

same lights as the headlights and 

illuminate darker than the head-

lights.)

●

To make your vehicle more visible 

to other drivers during daytime 

driving, the daytime running lights 

turn on automatically when all of 

the following conditions are met. 

(The daytime running lights are 

not designed for use at night.)

• The fuel cell system is operating

• The parking brake is released

• The headlight switch is in the 

 

or 

*

 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 operat-

ing the switch.

●

Compared to turning on the head-

lights, the daytime running light 

system offers greater durability 

and consumes less electricity, so 

it can help improve fuel economy.

Headlight control sensor

The sensor may not function prop-

erly if an object is placed on the sen-

sor, 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 head-

light system to malfunction.

■

Automatic light off system

●

When the headlights are on: The 
headlights and tail lights turn off 
30 seconds after the driver’s door 
is opened and closed if the power 
switch is turned to ACC or off. 
(The lights turn off immediately if 

 on the key is pressed after all 

the doors are closed.)

●

When only the tail lights are on: 

The tail lights turn off automati-

cally if the power switch is turned 

to ACC or off and the driver’s door 

is opened.

To turn the lights on again, turn the 
power switch to ON, or turn the light 
switch off once and then back to 

 or

switch is turned off or turned to ACC 

and the driver’s door is opened 

while the lights are turned on.

■

Automatic headlight leveling 

system (if equipped)

The level of the headlights is auto-

matically adjusted according to the 

number of passengers and the load-

ing condition of the vehicle to 

ensure that the headlights do not 

interfere with other road users.

■

Windshield wiper linked head-

light illumination

When driving during daytime with 
the headlight switch turned to 

, if 

the windshield wipers are used, the 
headlights will turn on automatically 
after several seconds to help 
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.

12-volt battery-saving function

In order to prevent the 12-volt bat-

tery of the vehicle from discharging, 

if the headlights and/or tail lights are 

on when the power switch is turned 

off the 12-volt battery saving func-

tion will operate and automatically 

turn off all the lights after approxi-

mately 20 minutes. When the power 

switch is turned to ON, the 12-volt 

battery-saving function will be dis-

abled. 

When any of the following are per-

formed, the 12-volt battery-saving 

function is canceled once and then 

reactivated. All the lights will turn off 

automatically 20 minutes after the 

12-volt battery-saving function has 

been reactivated:

●

When the headlight switch is oper-

ated

●

When a door or the trunk is 

opened or closed

AHB (Automatic High 

Beam)

The Automatic High Beam 
uses a front camera located 
behind the upper portion of 
the windshield to assess the 
brightness of the lights of 
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally turns the high beams 
on or off as necessary.

Conditions to turn the high 

beams on/off automatically

●

When all of the following condi-

tions are met, the high beams will 

be turned on automatically (after 

approximately 1 second):

• The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 21 mph (34 km/h) 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 met, the high beams will turn 

off automatically:

• The vehicle speed is below 

approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).

• The area ahead of the vehicle is 

not dark.

• Vehicles ahead have their head-

lights or tail lights turned on.

• There are many streetlights on the 

road ahead.

■

Front camera detection infor-

mation

●

The high beams may not be auto-

matically turned off in the following 

situations:

• When a vehicle suddenly appears 

from around a curve

• When the vehicle is cut in front of 

by another vehicle

• When vehicles ahead cannot be 

detected due to repeated curves, 

road dividers or roadside trees

• When vehicles ahead appear in a 

faraway lane on a wide road

• When the lights of vehicles ahead 

are not on

●

The high beams may be turned off 

if a vehicle ahead that is using fog 

lights without its headlights turned 

on is detected.

●

House lights, street lights, traffic 

signals, and illuminated billboards 

or signs and other reflective 

objects may cause the high 

beams to change to the low 

beams, or the low beams to 

remain on.

●

The following factors may affect 

the amount of time taken for the 

high beams to turn on or off:

• The brightness of the headlights, 

fog lights, and tail lights of vehi-

cles ahead

• The movement and direction of 

vehicles ahead

• When a vehicle ahead only has 

operational lights on one side

• When a vehicle ahead is a two-

wheeled vehicle

• The condition of the road (gradi-

ent, curve, condition of the road 

surface, etc.)

• The number of passengers and 

amount of luggage in the vehicle

●

The high beams may turn on or off 

unexpectedly.

●

Bicycles or similar vehicles may 

not be detected.

●

In the following situations the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly 

detect the surrounding brightness 

level. This may cause the low 

beams to remain on or the high 

beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-

ans or vehicles ahead. In such a 

case, it is necessary to manually 

switch between the high and low 

beams.
