• When driving on a road that has
inclines to the left or right
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.337), the pre-
collision brake assist and pre-collision braking functions are also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on and “VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake System Unavailable” will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
*: If equipped
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course*, and also can
slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating, this
system will operate the steering
wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane
position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Additionally,
it detects preceding vehicles using
the front camera and radar.

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.
■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 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.
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.248) and the
preceding vehicle changes lanes. (Your vehicle may follow the pre-ceding vehicle and also change
lanes.)

play is displayed ( P.248) and the preceding vehicle is being driven extremely close to the left/right lane
line. (Your vehicle may follow the preceding vehicle and depart from the lane.)
●Vehicle is being driven around a sharp curve.
●Objects or patterns that could be mistaken for white (yellow) lines are
present on the side of the road (guardrails, reflective poles, etc.).
●Vehicle is driven where the road diverges, merges, etc.
●Repair marks of asphalt, white (yel-
low) lines, etc., are present due to road repair.
●There are shadows on the road that run parallel with, or cover, the white (yellow) lines.
●The vehicle is driven in an area without white (yellow) lines, such as
in front of a tollgate or checkpoint, or at an intersection, etc.
●The white (yellow) lines are cracked, “Raised pavement marker” or stones are present.
●The white (yellow) lines cannot be seen or are difficult to see due to
sand, etc.

■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
operate the steering wheel to move the
vehicle back to the center of the lane.
Vehicle with BSM: When the system
determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane and that the possi-
bility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
lane departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.

■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the
lane centering function does not oper-
ate.
In situations where the white (yellow)
lane lines are difficult 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.
■Turning the lane centering
function ON/OFF
