WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. 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. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an accident, 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.

■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane or course*, a warning is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play, and either a warning buzzer
will sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or
the steering wheel vibrates, check the
area around your vehicle and carefully

■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel and the symbol shown in
the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display 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 holding 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 canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may not turn and instead
depart from its lane on a curve while
the lane centering function is operat-
ing.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than
during straight-lane driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering
wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the
buzzer sounds and the driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con-
tinuing time of the buzzer becomes lon-
ger.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
■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 symbol
shown in the illustration are simultane-
ously displayed on the multi-information
display.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-
ditions, the warning may not operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information display
and the LTA indicator illuminates in
orange, follow the appropriate trouble-
shooting procedure. Also, if a different
warning message is displayed, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the 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 cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position

●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the
surrounding vehicles hinders the

●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in
the luggage compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely

■Conditions under which the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions,
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation) as
necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the
lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or
your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decel-
erates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on a
bridge
●While the vehicle speed is decreasing
