2284-5. Using the driving support systems
The LDA system warns the
driver if the vehicle may deviate
from the current lane or course
*,
and also can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*.
The front camera is used to
detect lane lines or a course
*.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on a display,
and either a warning buzzer will
sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
Check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane or course
*.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane, the lane de parture alert will
operate even if the turn signals are
operating.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as a curb,
guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure prevention
function
If the system determines that
the vehicle is likely to depart
from its lane or course
*, it pro-
vides assistance through steer-
ing wheel operations to help
avoid deviation from the lane or
course.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, a warning message
may be displayed and a warning
buzzer may sound to alert the
driver.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicl e in an adjacent
lane, the lane departure prevention
function will operate even if the turn
signals are operating.

 Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same
size and brand.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains
may damage the vehicle body
and suspension, and adversely
affect driving performance.
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects
the operation of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.

NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety mea-
sures to ensure that water dam-
age to the hybrid battery (traction
battery), hybrid s ystem or other
components does not occur.
●Water entering the engine com-
partment may cause severe
damage to the hybrid system.
Water entering the interior may
cause the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) stowed under the
rear seats to short circuit.
●Water entering the hybrid trans-
mission will cause deterioration
in transmission quality. The mal-
function indicator may come on,
and the vehicle may not be driv-
able.
●Water can wash the grease
from wheel bearings, causing
rusting and premature failure,
and may also enter the differen-
tials and hybrid transmission,
reducing the gea r oil’s lubricat-
ing qualities.
■When you drive through
water
If driving through water, such as
when crossing shallow streams,
first check the depth of the water
and the bottom of the riverbed for
firmness. Drive slowly and avoid
deep water.
■Inspection after off-road driv-
ing
●Sand and mud that has accu-
mulated around brake discs
may affect braking efficiency
and may damage brake system
components.
●Always perform a maintenance
inspection aft er each day of
off-road driving that has taken
you through rough terrain, sand,
mud, or water. For scheduled
maintenance information, refer
to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual
Supplement”.
