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 t emporarily can-
celed.
Vehicles with BSM: When the sys-
tem determines that the vehicle
might depart from its lane and that
the possibility of a collision with an
overtaking vehicle in the adjacent
lane is high, the steering assist
function will operate even if the turn
signals are operating.

vides the required assistance by
operating the steering wheel to
keep the vehicle in its current
lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is not operat-
ing, the lane centering function
does not operate.
In situations where the white (yel-
low) lane lines are difficult to see or
are not visible, such as when in a
traffic jam, this fu nction 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 the multi-information display and
the function is temporarily can-
celed.
Press the LTA switch to turn the
LTA system on.
The LTA indicator illuminates and a
message is display
ed on the multi-

■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 illustration 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 small amount.
●When the system determines that
the vehicle may deviate from the
lane while driving around a curve
while the lane centering function is
operating.
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 curv e, 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
steering wheel assi
st 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 determines 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 sym bol shown in the
illustration are simultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, the warning may not
operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is
displayed on the multi-information
display and the LT A indicator illumi-
nates in orange, follow the appropri-
ate troubleshooting procedure. Also,
if a different warning message is
displayed, follow the instructions
displayed on the screen.
●“LTA Malfunction Visit Your
Dealer”
The system may not be operating
properly. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyo ta dealer.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled

2684-5. Using the driving support systems
due to a malfunction in a sensor
other than the front camera. Turn
the LTA system off, wait for a little
while, and then turn 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.
(  P.109)
*: If equipped
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.
according to the recog-
nized road signs, it notifies
the driver through a visual
notification and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely sole ly 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.

2694-5. Using the driving support systems

Driving
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.103)
 When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation display is selected, the
following types of road signs
will be displayed. ( P.103)
• Speed limit sign
•Do Not Enter sign (when notifica-
tion is necessary)
If signs other than speed limit
signs are recognized, they will be displayed in an overlapping
stack under the current speed
limit sign.
The following types of road
signs, including el
ectronic signs
and blinking signs, are recog-
nized.
A non-official or a recently intro-
duced traffic sign may not be recog-
nized.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will notify the
driver.
 When the vehicle speed
exceeds the speed notifica-
tion threshold of the speed
limit sign displayed, the sign
display will be emphasized
and a buzzer will sound.

■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign
display
In the following situations, displayed
speed limit sign and/or do not enter
signs will stop being displayed auto-
matically:
●No sign has been recognized for a
certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or
right turn, etc.
In the following si tuations, stop and
yield 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 situations, 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.
●D i r t , s n o w , s t i c k e r s , e t c . a r e o n t h e
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, and if an electronic sign, the
contrast is poor.
●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
camera for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane
change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●If a sign not appropriate for the
currently traveled lane, but the
sign exists directly after a freeway
branches, or in an adjacent lane
just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear
of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system com-
patible sign is recognized.
●Side road speed signs may be
detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front camera)
while the vehicle i s traveling on
the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs
may be detected and displayed (if
positioned in si ght of the front
camera) while t raveling on a
roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not
sufficient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign inte nded for trucks,
etc. is recognized.
●The speed information displayed
on the meter and on the naviga-
tion system may be different due
to the navigation system using
map data.
■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned
off while a speed limit sign was dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play, the same sign displays again
when the power switch is turned to
ON.
