I'm still confused about an on-off switch for the air curtains. There was a blue FJC at the Kansas City Auto Show that listed the air curtains on the option sheet, but when I looked for the off switch on the dash it wasn't there.

As I previously posted: there is no switch to disable the airbags, as they are not roll-sensing airbags, just side-impact sensing.

The switch is to activate the proximity sensor for the port installed security system upgrade.

Love ya, mean it!

my wife's matrix has 'em, with no apparent way to turn them off either. i even read the owners manual...

It may require someone on here to have a subscription to the tech site to get the current bulletins, but they'es a tech bulletin somewhere as to how......

I agree that it would be nice to be able to override the lights when: (1) you go to your car to warm up, or get out of the wind/rain, (2) drive slowly up a trail where you hope to see wild life, and/or (3) want to turn the key to listen to the radio in a non-driving situation.

well, all of these with the exception of #2 would be taken care of by the fact that they go off when you pull up the E brake....

IF I want to do 90 down a 2 lane at night without headlights, that's my choice.

when the engine is started, a signal from the generator is input into terminal a14 of the body ecu. the wire that carries this signal is green with a gray stripe. it can be found leaving the DRL relay in one of the relay blocks under the hood. The rest is up to you.

I AN NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU **** YOUR **** UP!

don't know where you got your info from but it is the gray wire connector E6 pin 14 at the body ecu. Or gray wire connector C2 pin 4 at the generator.

In my tahoe, the parking break is the activator...

If I want to go in stealth mode I just depress it until it catches the first click, the parking break is not engaged but the DRL thinks it is...

Not sure if Toyotas work the same way....

You are also the idiot that kills the family of 6 coming home from a day in the country and you survive without a scratch.

HEY! I said if I CHOOSE to! Please, do not call me an idiot! It's uncalled for! I would never actually do it.

Look - I live in an area of Colorado with a very high concentration of tourist traffic. I'm not saying their bad people, hell they pay my wage! However when people come from sealevel to 8200+ feet. they get a bit distracted by our wonderful scenery and the added need for speed to get to the slopes for "rope drop". I run with my lights on all the time - I want every advantage I can to get home to my loved ones and have another chance at making "rope drop" first tracks as well!
