Handling the radar sensor
■
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effec-
tively:

damage them.

strong impact, always have the area inspected and adjusted by your
Toyota dealer.

Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille cover or sur-
rounding area.
