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.

Owners Manual_USA_M62084_en
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to- vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicl e
distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, t he vehicle-to-vehicle distance may
become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected runni ng ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you st ops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). Afte r the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not pe rformed, system

When a vehicle is detected in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot, the outside
rear view mirror indicator on the
detected side will illuminate. If the
turn signal lever is operated toward
the detected side, the outside rear

tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear

to see.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor
Unavailable See Owner’s Man-
ual” is shown on the multi-
information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors. ( P.250) The system
should return to normal operation
after removing the ice, snow, mud,
etc., from the rear bumper. Addition-
ally, the sensors may not operate
normally when drivin g in extremely
hot or cold environments.
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to o bserve your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a v ehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or is approaching rapidly
from behind into a blind spot. Do
not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. As the function cannot
judge if it is safe to change lanes,
over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message ( P.249) will
be displayed. In this situation,
clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation con-
ditions of the BSM function
( P.252) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a ccessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc.,
to a sensor or its surrounding
area on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sen- sor is scratched or dented, or
part of them h as become dis-
connected.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
There is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is always
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’ surroundings and
driving safely.
■To ensure the system can

Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●Do not damage the sensors,
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install
an electronic component, such
as a backlit licen se plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender po le or wireless
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding
area of the sensor to a strong
impact. If subjected to an
impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer. If the front or rear
bumper needs to be
emoved/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or
paint the sensors.

sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.

• When the rear camera is
obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are
attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as
the sun, or the headlights of
another vehicle, shines directly
into the rear camera

changes suddenly, such as at the
entrance or exi t of a garage or
underground parking lot
• When backing up in a dim envi-
ronment such as during dusk or in
an underground parking lot
