from its lane or course*, a warn-
ing is displayed on the multi-
information display, and a warn-
ing buzzer will sound to alert the
driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds,
check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor:
When the system de termines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane and that the possibility of a col-
lision with an over taking vehicle in
the adjacent lane is high, the lane
departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as
grass, soil, or a curb
■Steering assist function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart from its lane or course
*, the sys-
tem provides assistance as nec-
essary by operating the steering
wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the
vehicle in its lane.
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.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor:

ing, the lane centering function
does not operate.
In situations where the white (yel-
low) lane lines are d ifficult 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

■Temporary cancelation of func-
tions
●When operation conditions are no
longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However,
when the operation conditions are
met again, operation of the func-
tion is automatically restored.
( P.245)
●If the operation conditions
( P.245) are no longer met while
the lane centering function is
operating, the buzzer may sound
to indicate that the function has
been temporarily canceled.

●Depending on the vehicle speed,
lane departure situation, road con-
ditions, etc., the driver may not
feel the function is operating or
the function may not operate at
all.
●The steering control of the func-
tion is overridden by the driver’s
steering wheel operation.
●Do not attempt to test the opera-
tion of the steering assist function.
■Lane departure alert function

cult to hear due to external noise,
audio playback, etc.
●If the edge of the course* is not
clear or straight, the lane depar-
ture alert function may not oper-

*: Boundary between asphalt and
the side of the road, such as
grass, soil, or a curb
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold
the steering wheel and the symbol
shown in the illust ration are dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play to warn the driver. The warning
stops when the sys tem determines
that the driver holds the steering
wheel. Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that
the driver is driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel while the
system is operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned
and the function is temporarily can-
celed. This warning also operates in
the same way when the driver con-
tinuously operates the steering
wheel only a s mall amount.
●When the system determines that
the vehicle may not turn and
instead depart from its lane while
driving around a curve
Depending on the vehicle condition
and road conditions, the warning
may not operate. Also, if the system
determines that the vehicle is driv-
ing around a curve, warnings will
occur earlier than during straight-
lane driving.
●When the system determines that
the driver is driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel while the

2484-5. Using the driving support systems
steering wheel assist of the steer-
ing assist function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and
the steering wheel assist is operat-
ing, the buzzer sounds and the
driver is warned. Each time the
buzzer sounds, the continuing time
of the buzzer becomes longer.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system de termines that
the vehicle is swaying while the
vehicle sway warning function is
operating, a buzzer sounds and a
warning message urging the driver
to rest and the symbol shown in the
illustration are sim ultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, the warning may not
operate.

display and the LT A indicator illumi-
nates in orange, follow the appropri-
ate troubleshooting procedure. Also,
if a different warning message is

displayed on the screen.
●“LTA Malfunction Visit Your
Dealer”
The system may not be operating
properly. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is tempo rarily canceled due to a malfunction in a sensor
other than the front camera. Turn
the LTA system off, wait for a little
while, and then tu
rn the LTA system
back on.
●“LTA Unavailable at Current
Speed”
The function cannot be used as the
vehicle speed exceeds the LTA
operation range. Drive slower.
■Customization
Function settings can be changed.

Driving
*: If equipped
When the front camera recog-nizes a sign, the sign will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.

When the driving support sys-
tem information display is
selected, a maximum of 3
signs can be displayed.
( P.89)
 When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation display is selected,
only a recognized speed limit
sign or do not enter sign
(when notification is neces-
sary) will be displayed.
( P.89)
If signs other than speed limit
signs are recogni zed, they will
be displayed in an overlapping
stack under the current speed
limit sign.
RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using
the front camera to provide
information to the driver via
the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over
the speed limit, performing
prohibited actions, etc. in
relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the
driver using a warning dis-
play and warning buzzer.
WA R N I N G
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA
system. RSA is a system which
supports the driver by providing
information, but it is not a replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.
Indication on the multi-
information display

2504-5. Using the driving support systems
The following types of road
signs are recognized.
A non-official or a recently intro-
duced traffic sign may not be recog-
nized.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will alert the driver.
When the vehicle speed
exceeds the speed warning
threshold of the speed limit
sign displayed, the sign dis-
play will be emphasized and a
buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recog-
nizes a do not enter sign and
determines that your vehicle
has entered a no-entry area,
the displayed sign will flash
and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, traf-
fic environment (traffic direction, speed unit) may be detected
incorrectly and a warning dis-
play may not operate properly.
■Setting procedure
 P. 9 4
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign
display
In the following si tuations, a dis-
played speed limit sign will stop
being displayed automatically:
●A new sign is not recognized for a
certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or
right turn, etc.
In the following situ ations, do not
enter, stop and yie ld signs will stop
being displayed automatically:
●The system determines that your
vehicle has passed the sign.
●The road changes due to a left or
right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the func-
tion may not operate or detect
correctly
In the following si tuations, RSA
does not operate normally and may
not recognize signs, display the
incorrect sign, etc. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned
due to a strong impact being
applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the
windshield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as
heavy rain, fog, snow or sand
storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle,
the sun, etc. ente rs the front cam-
era.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or
bent.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by
the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front
