Daytime running light system

●

Vehicles with daytime running lights that are integrated into the headlights:
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the headlight
low beams and illuminate darker than the headlight low beams.

●

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 engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the

(type B only),

or “AUTO”

position

: When the surroundings are bright

The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the park-
ing brake is set again.

●

For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the
switch.

●

Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.

■

Headlight control sensor

Turning on the high beam headlights

The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, 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  headlight  sys-
tem to malfunction.

Camera sensor detection information

●

The high beams may not be automatically turned off in the following situa-
tions:
• 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 vehicles

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 (gradient, 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 system 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 pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such
a case, it is necessary to manually switch between the high and low beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,

etc.)

• When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the camera sensor is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera sensor is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights, tail

lights or fog lights

• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off, dirty,

changing color, or not aimed properly

• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehi-

cle

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.

Opening the fuel tank cap

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.

Toyota Safety Sense P

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.

208

4-5. Using the driving support systems

COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U

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, sounds or
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.
