WINDSHIELD GLASS REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

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, forward recognition camera system, dynamic radar cruise control system, pre-crash safety system or automatic high beam system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity of the windshield glass or the shape of the black ceramic border.
