Headlights and turn signals

HEADLIGHTS

The automatic light control sensor is on the

top of the instrument panel.

To turn on the following lights: Twist the

headlight/turn signal lever knob.

Do not place anything on the instrument

panel, and/or do not affix anything on the

windshield to block this sensor.

Position 1—Parking, tail, licence plate and

instrument panel lights

The sensitivity of a sensor can be adjusted

and time to a tail light reaction can be leng-

thened slightly. For details, ask your Toyota

dealer.

The tail indicator light (green light) on the in-

strument panel will tell you that the tail lights

are on.

Position 2—Headlights and all of the above

Automatic light cut off system

Position 3 (AUTO)—Headlights and all of the

lights in position 1.

The lights automatically turn off when the

driver’s door is opened with the ignition

switch off.

The lights automatically turn on or off de-

pending on the darkness of the surroundings.

To turn on the lights again, set the ignition

to ON or operate the headlight switch. If you

are going to park for over one week, make

sure the headlight switch is off.

Manually twist the knob to position 2 to turn

on the headlights if they are needed immedi-

ately when entering a dark tunnel or parking

structure, etc.

NOTICE

When the tail lights/headlights are turned on,

the brightness of the instrument cluster will

be reduced slightly unless the instrument

panel light control knob is turned fully clock-

wise.

To prevent the battery from being dis-

charged, do not leave the lights on for

a long period when the engine is not run-

ning.

However, the brightness of the instrument

cluster will not be reduced in daytime even

when the tail lights/headlights are turned on.

LIGHTS, WIPERS AND DEFOGGER

The system operates when the vehicle speed

rises above 10 km/h.

The system can operate within the limited

range of the steering wheel turning angle.

Automatic headlight levelling system

(with adaptive front-lighting system)

The vehicle position changes according to

loading condition, the number of passengers,

vehicle acceleration and deceleration, etc.

The automatic headlight levelling system

automatically maintains the headlight beam

at the correct level to minimise your head-

lights dazzling other road users.

If you do not want to activate the system,

press in the switch to turn off the system.

To turn it on, press it again.

When the system is turned off, the AFS OFF

indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.

NOTICE

If the system fails, the indicator light in the

instrument cluster will flash. If this occurs,

have your vehicle checked by your Toyota

dealer.

Have your vehicle checked by your

Toyota dealer if either:

D The AFS OFF indicator light in the in-

strument cluster flashes, indicating

that the system has failed, or

D You replace the suspension, the auto-

matic headlight levelling system and

headlight beam level need to be

checked.

Adaptive front-lighting system

The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) pro-

vides the proper headlight beam level ac-

cording to the current driving conditions. This

system moves the headlight beam left or right

according to the vehicle’s speed and the turn-

ing angle of the steering wheel. The synergy

of this system and the automatic headlight

levelling system improves visibility at inter-

sections and curves.

High- Low beams—For high beams, turn the

headlights on and push the lever away from

you (position 1). Pull the lever toward you

(position 2) for low beams.

LIGHTS, WIPERS AND DEFOGGER

Emergency flashers

The headlight high beam indicator light (blue

light) on the instrument panel will tell you that

the high beams are on.

Flashing the high beam headlights (posi-

tion 3)—Pull the lever all the way back. The

high beam headlights turn off when you re-

lease the lever.

You can flash the high beam headlights with

the knob turned to OFF.

To turn on the emergency flashers, press

the switch.

All the turn signal lights will flash. To turn

them off, press the switch once again.

Turn on the emergency flashers to warn other

drivers if your vehicle must be stopped where

it might be a traffic hazard.

Always pull as far off the road as possible.

The turn signal light switch will not work when

the emergency flashers are operating.

TURN SIGNALS

To signal a turn, push the headlight/turn

signal lever up or down to position 1.

NOTICE

The ignition switch must be set to ON.

To prevent the battery from being dis-

charged, do not leave the switch on

longer than necessary when the engine

is not running.

The lever automatically returns after you

make a turn, but you may have to return it

by hand after you change lanes.

To signal a lane change, move the lever up

or down to the pressure point (position 2) and

hold it.

If the turn signal indicator lights (green lights)

on the instrument panel flash faster than nor-

mal, a front or rear turn signal bulb is burned

out. See “Replacing light bulbs” on page 274

in Section 7--3.
