CAUTION
When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or
not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the
mirrors before proceeding.
Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
ancillary lines.
The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the trunk/back door is not completely closed.

NOTICE
Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have been changed. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.

NOTICE
Camera precautions
As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
Do not subject the camera to a strong impact.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and
rinse. Do not rub hard.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunction.
When replacing tires, please consult any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. If you
replace the tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.

LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)
: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers,
this system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to
assist the driver with staying in the lane. The LKA system has two
functions.
Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it
alerts the driver using rapid beeping, indications on the multi-
information display, and a sensory warning
* given via the steer-
ing wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in
the direction of the center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function
This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode of the cruise control (P. 281) is set with vehicle
speed above approx. 72 km/h (approx. 45 mph) and while the
lane departure warning function is active. When the lane keep-
ing assist function is active, a slight steering torque will be
applied, to help the driver maintain the vehicle in a central posi-
tion within the lane.
While the lane keeping assist function is active, sensory warnings
will not occur.
