In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to
remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.

Fuel types
→P. 458

Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

Perform the following steps to open the fuel tank cap:

Before refueling the vehicle

WARNING

■

When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.

■

When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

●

Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■

Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally, or damaging fuel system components, or the
vehicle’s painted surface.

202

Press the opener to open the
fuel filler door.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to
remove it and hang it on the
back of the fuel filler door.

■

When the fuel filler door cannot be opened

Opening the fuel tank cap

Open the back door and remove the
cover underneath the luggage compart-
ment light.

Pull the lever backward and check that
the fuel filler door opens.

203

Drivin

After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.

Closing the fuel tank cap

WARNING

■

When replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.

The Toyota Safety Sense P consists of the following drive assist
systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving expe-
rience:

WARNING

■

Toyota Safety Sense P
The Toyota Safety Sense P is designed to operate under the assumption
that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in
normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround-
ings and driving safely.

205

Drivin

The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer
that will record certain data, such as:

• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your

vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)

• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-colli-

sion braking function or the pre-collision brake assist function was
operating)

The pre-collision system does not record conversations or other
sounds and does not record images of the inside of the vehicle.
● Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the

lessee if the vehicle is leased

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a

government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific

vehicle or vehicle owner

● Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.

The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the func-
tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates
will not be available.

Vehicle data recording

Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and windshield,
detect information necessary to operate the drive assist systems.

Radar sensor
Camera sensor

Sensors

WARNING

■

To avoid malfunction of the radar sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Keep the radar sensor and front grille emblem clean at all times.

Radar sensor
Front grille emblem

If the front of the radar sensor or the
front or back of the front grille emblem
is dirty or covered with water droplets,
snow, etc., clean it.
Clean the radar sensor and front grille
emblem with a soft cloth so you do not
mark or damage them.

207

Drivin

WARNING

●

Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers) or
other items to the radar sensor, front grille emblem or surrounding area.

●

Do not subject the radar sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a
strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

●

Do not disassemble the radar sensor.

●

Do not modify or paint the radar sensor, front grille emblem or surrounding
area.

●

If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper needs to be removed and
installed, or replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.

■

To avoid malfunction of the camera sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the camera sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Keep the windshield clean at all times.
• If the windshield is dirty or covered with an oily film, water droplets,

snow, etc., clear the windshield.

• If a glass coating agent is applied to the windshield, it will still be neces-

sary to use the windshield wipers to remove water droplets, etc. from
the area of the windshield in front of the camera sensor.

• If the inner side of the windshield where the camera sensor is installed

is dirty, contact your Toyota dealer.

●

Do not install an antenna or attach stick-
ers (including transparent stickers) or
other items to the area of the windshield
in front of the camera sensor (shaded
area in the illustration).
