(b) Before disconnecting connectors or removing/installing parts, determine the malfunctioning area by checking and writing down the vehicle condition at the time the malfunction occurred (DTC outputs etc.).

REPLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS

(a) MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY:

(1) When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

(2) If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced with a new one, be sure to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment.

(2) When replacing the forward recognition camera, replace it with a new one. If a forward recognition camera which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the forward recognition camera will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

(3) When replacing the forward recognition camera, do not damage the camera lens or allow it to become contaminated with foreign matter.

(4) Do not reuse a forward recognition camera that has been dropped or subjected to a strong impact.

(c) WINDSHIELD GLASS:

(1) When replacing the windshield glass of a vehicle equipped with a forward recognition camera, make sure to use a Toyota genuine part. If a non-Toyota genuine part is used, the forward recognition camera may not be able to be installed due to a missing bracket or the lane departure alert system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.

(2) Do not attach stickers, including transparent stickers, or other items to the outer side of the windshield glass assembly within the area in front of the forward recognition camera.
