LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist)*
When driving on highways 
and freeways with white 
(yellow) lane lines, this 
function alerts the driver 
when the vehicle might 
depart from its lane or 
course
* and provides assis-
tance by operating the 
steering wheel to keep the 
vehicle in its lane or 
course
*. Furthermore, the 
system provides steering 
assistance when dynamic 
radar cruise control with 
full-speed range is operat-
ing to keep the vehicle in its 
lane.
The LTA system recognizes 
white (yellow) lane lines or a 
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects 
preceding vehicles using 
the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and  the side of the road, such as 
grass, soil, or a curb
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA 
system. The LTA system does 
not automatically drive the vehi-
cle or reduce the amount of 
attention that must be paid to 
the area in front of the vehicle. 
The driver must always assume 
full responsibility for driving 
safely by paying careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions and operating the steering 
wheel to correct the path of the 
vehicle. Also, the driver must 
take adequate breaks when 
fatigued, such as from driving 
for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate 
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an 
accident, resulting in death or 
serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, 
use the LTA switch to turn the 
system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA 
system
In the following situations, use the 
LTA switch to turn the system off. 
Failure to do so may lead to an 
accident, resulting in death or 
serious injury.

Driving■Lane centering function
This function is linked with 
dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range and pro-
vides the required assistance by 
operating the steering wheel to 
keep the vehicle in its current 
lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range is not operat-
ing, the lane centering function 
does not operate.
In situations where the white (yel-
low) lane lines are difficult to see or 
are not visible, such as when in a 
traffic jam, this function will operate 
to help follow a preceding vehicle 
by monitoring the position of the 
preceding vehicle.
If the system detects that the steer-
ing wheel has not been operated 
for a fixed amount of time or the 
steering wheel is not being firmly 
gripped, a warning is displayed on  the multi-information display and 
the function is temporarily can-
celed.
Press the LTA switch to turn the 
LTA system on.
The LTA indicator illuminates and a 
message is displayed on the 
multi-information display.
Press the LTA switch again to turn 
the LTA system off.
When the LTA system is turned on 
or off, operation of the LTA system 
continues in the same condition the 
next time the engine is started.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar 
cruise control with full-speed 
range
●Driving safely is the sole 
responsibility of the driver. Do 
not rely solely on the system, 
and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attention to your sur-
roundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range pro-
vides driving assistance to 
reduce the driver’s burden. 
However, there are limitations to 
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions 
carefully. Do not  overly rely on 
this system and always drive 
carefully.
• When the sensor may not be  correctly detecting the vehicle 
ahead: 
P.213
• Conditions under which the  vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode may not function cor-
rectly: 
P. 2 1 4
●Set the speed appropriately 
depending on the speed limit, 
traffic flow, road conditions, 
weather conditions, etc. The 
driver is responsible for check-
ing the set speed.
●Even when the system is func-
tioning normally, the condition of 
the preceding vehicle as 
detected by the system may dif-
fer from the condition observed 
by the driver. Therefore, the 
driver must always  remain alert, 
assess the danger of each situ-
ation and drive safely. Relying 
solely on this system or assum-
ing the system ensures safety 
while driving can lead to an 
accident, resulting in death or 
serious injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise 
control with full-speed range 
setting to off, using the cruise 
control main switch when not in 
use.
■Cautions regarding the driv-
ing assist systems
Observe the following precau-
tions, as there are limitations to 
the assistance provided by the 
system.
Failure to do so may cause an 
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.

WARNING
●Assisting the driver to measure 
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range is only 
intended to help the driver in 
determining the following distance 
between the driver’s own vehicle 
and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead. It is not a mechanism that 
allows careless or  inattentive driv-
ing, and it is not a system that can 
assist the driver  in low-visibility 
conditions. 
It is still necessary for driver to 
pay close attention to the vehi-
cle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge 
proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range determines 
whether the following distance 
between the driver’s own vehicle 
and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead is within a set range. It is 
not capable of making any other 
type of judgement. Therefore, it is 
absolutely necessary for the 
driver to remain vigilant and to 
determine whether or not there is 
a possibility of danger in any 
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate 
the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range does not 
include functions which will pre-
vent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle. 
Therefore, if there is ever any 
possibility of dange r, the driver 
must take immediate and direct 
control of the vehicle and act 
appropriately in order to ensure 
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for 
dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise 
control with full-speed range in 
any of the following situations. 
Doing so may result in inappropri-
ate speed control and could 
cause an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as 
those covered with rain, ice or 
snow
●On steep downhills, or where 
there are sudden changes 
between sharp up and down 
gradients 
Vehicle speed may exceed the 
set speed when driving down a 
steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and 
highways
●When weather conditions are 
bad enough that they may pre-
vent the sensors from detecting 
correctly (fog, snow, sand-
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. 
on the front surface of the radar 
or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require 
frequent repeated acceleration 
and deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning 
buzzer is heard often

2084-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA H/B_UWhen the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (
80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accel-
erate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what  is an overtaking lane may be determined 
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side 
driver position versus right side driver  position.) If the vehicle is driven to a 
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from where the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may  accelerate when the turn signal lever 
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver 
normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the 
right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the left, the 
vehicle may accelerate when the ri ght turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower 
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then 
returns to constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main 
switch to activate the cruise 
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message 
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch 
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
If the cruise control main switch is 
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds 
or more, the system turns on in 
constant speed control mode.  (
 P. 2 1 1 )
2 Accelerate or decelerate, 
with accelerator pedal opera-
tion, to the desired vehicle 
speed (at or above approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h]) 
and press the “-SET” switch 
to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will 
come on.

1 Pressing the cancel switch 
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled 
when the brake pedal is depressed. 
(When the vehicle has been 
stopped by system control, 
depressing the brake pedal does 
not cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch 
resumes the cruise control 
and returns vehicle speed to 
the set speed.
When your vehicle is too close 
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via 
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the 
buzzer will sound to alert the 
driver. An example of this would 
be if another driver cuts in front 
of you while you are following a 
vehicle. Depress the brake 
pedal to ensure an appropriate 
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur 
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when 
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is 
small.
 When the speed of the pre-
ceding vehicle matches or 
exceeds your vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at an extremely slow 
speed

control speed was set
 When depressing the acceler-
ator pedal
When constant speed control 
mode is selected, your vehicle 
will maintain a set speed without 
controlling the vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance. Select this mode 
only when vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode does not 
function correctly due to a dirty
