tion, the wipers may operate unexpect-
edly in the following situations, and may
result in hands being caught or other
serious injuries and cause damage to the
wiper blades.

where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand

Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■
Precaution regarding the rear bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may mal-
function. If this occurs, consult your Toyota dealer.
