WINDSHIELD GLASS REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the windshield glass of a vehicle equipped with a pre-crash safety city sensor, make sure to use a Toyota genuine part. If a non-Toyota genuine part is used, the pre-crash safety city sensor may not be able to be installed due to a missing bracket or the pre-crash safety system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity of the windshield glass or the shape of the black ceramic border.
