LED light bulbs  
The lights other than the front turn  
signal lights/parking lights (vehicles  
without side turn signal lights), front  
side marker lights (bulb type), rear  
turn signal lights, rear side marker  
lights (bulb type) and back-up lights  
consist of a number of LEDs. If any  
of the LEDs burn out, take your  
vehicle to your Toyota dealer to  
have the light replaced.  
Condensation build-up on the  
inside of the lens  
Type B  
In certain situations, such as when  
driving in the rain or when washing  
the vehicle, condensation may form  
on the inner side of the headlight  
lens and other lights. As each light  
has a ventilation hole, moist air may  
enter. If the ambient temperature is  
low, condensation may form tempo-  
rarily, but it will dissipate as the  
inside of the light is warmed up. As  
the condensation is due to a phe-  
nomenon similar to windows fogging  
in the rain, it does not indicate a  
malfunction.

hands. When it is unavoidable

blow out or crack.

Fully install light bulbs and any  
parts used to secure them. Fail-
