| Exterior Lighting problems |
The Toyota 4runner (5th and 6th generations) lacks a dedicated 'approach lighting' function, creating a critical personal safety and trip-and-fall hazard during nighttime entry. Users are forced to navigate the vehicle's perimeter in total darkness, increasing the risk of injury from unseen obstacles or security threats. I am requesting an investigation into this lighting logic omission and a remedy via a software update to the lighting control module to ensure owner safety for all generations of the 4runner platform.
