WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA
system. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle 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 attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect 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 driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, use the LTA switch to turn the sys-
tem off.
■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 acci- dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface 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 con-struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.
●When the tires have been exces-sively worn, or when the tire infla-tion pressure is low.
●When tires of a size other than specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other than that highways and free-
ways.
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency towing
■Preventing LTA system malfunc-
tions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or
place stickers, etc. on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be replaced, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a grille guard (bull bars, kan-
garoo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the func- tions may not operate properly 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.

■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (static object) will operate
when
The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated
( P.170, 171) and all of the following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-trol
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.• The vehicle speed is approximately 15
km/h (9 mph) or less. • There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and approxi-
mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away. • The Parking Support Brake deter-mines that a stronger-than-normal

WARNING
●If the area around a radar sensor is subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehi-cle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of
the vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause the system to not operate or
operate unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) operates unnecessarily, such as at a rail-road crossing
In the event that the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) oper-ates unnecessarily, such as at a rail-
road crossing, brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-onds, allowing you to proceed forward
and leave the area, brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brake pedal. Depressing the acceler-
ator pedal after brake control is can- celed will allow you to proceed forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water
or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not
spray the sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunc-tion.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load

the Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) may operate
even though there is no possibility of a
collision.
●When the parking space faces a
street and vehicles are being driven
on the street
●When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle
●When a vehicle passes by the side of

●When the distance between your vehi-
cle and metal objects, such as a
guardrail, wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may reflect electrical waves
toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
●When there are spinning objects near
your vehicle such as the fan of an air
conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed
toward the rear bumper, such as from
a sprinkler
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) may not operate prop-
erly

WARNING
●When driving over roads with pot- holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec-tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-pery road surfaces, even if the
TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in condi-tions where stability and power may
be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner- ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving on slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre-quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con- trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRC/ABS/VSC/Trailer
Sway Control is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control sys-tems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC is turned off or experiences a
malfunction.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition,
make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-sure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems will not function cor-rectly if different tires are installed on
the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may
cause a system to malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv-ing environment, the Trailer Sway
Control system may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
