FRONT SENSOR REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

The pre-crash safety city sensor uses lasers to detect preceding vehicles. The pre-crash safety city sensor is classified as a Class 1M laser product according to the IEC 60825-1 standard.

These lasers are not harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in severe visual impairment, or at worst, loss of eyesight.


  • To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassemble the pre-crash safety city sensor or perform maintenance procedures that are not described in the repair manual. When disassembled, the pre-crash safety city sensor is classified as a Class 3B laser product according to the IEC 60825-1 standard and poses an eye injury risk.

  • When removing the pre-crash safety city sensor, always disconnect the connector first.

  • Do not look into the pre-crash safety city sensor using a magnifying glass, microscope or other optical instrument from a distance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) or less.

Note


  • When replacing the pre-crash safety city sensor, replace it with a new one.

  • Do not touch the camera lens or the front windshield glass in front of the camera.

  • If the pre-crash safety city sensor has been struck or dropped, replace it with a new one.

  • 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.
