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