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.
■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.
●Vehicle is driven on a road sur-
face which is slippery due to 
rainy weather, fallen snow, 
freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-
ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult 
to see due to rain, snow, fog, 
dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary 
lane or restricted lane due to 
construction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construc-
tion zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., 
are equipped.
●When the tires have been 
excessively worn, or when the 
tire inflation p ressure is low.
●During emergency towing.
■Preventing LTA system mal-
functions and operations per-
formed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or 
place stickers, etc., on the sur-
face of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension, 
etc. If the suspension, etc., 
needs to be replaced, contact 
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not install or place anything 
on the hood or grille. Also, do 
not install a gr ille guard (bull 
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs 
repairs, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
■Conditions in which functions 
may not operate properly
In the following  situations, the 
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart 
from its lane. Drive safely by 
always paying careful attention to 
your surroundings and operate 
the steering wheel to correct the 
path of the vehicle without relying 
solely on the functions.

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 specified size.
●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.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the 
vehicle being unable to be driven 
safely, and may cause death or 
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the

abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that 
cause sudden regenerative 
braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before 
entering a curve to ensure that 
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist) system.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow 
tires

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.
 Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift position to P without setting 
the parking brake. The parking 
brake may freeze up, preventing 
it from being released. If the 
vehicle is parked without setting 
the parking brake, make sure to 
block the wheels. Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the 
vehicle to move unexpectedly, 
possibly leading to an accident.
Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each 
tire size.
Side chain (0.12 in. [3 mm] in 
diameter)
Cross chain (0.16 in. [4 mm] 
in diameter)
Regulations regarding the use 
of tire chains vary depending on 
location and type of road. 
Always check local regulations 
before installing chains.
