the radar sensor and front camera,

preventing the system from operating
properly:

maneuver (such as sudden swerving,

acceleration or deceleration)

directly in front of your vehicle

• When a detectable object is near a

wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover,
vehicle, steel plate on the road, etc.

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

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 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.

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.

Driving safely is the sole responsi-

bility of the driver. Do not rely solely

on the system, and drive safely by
always paying careful attention to

your surroundings.

●

The dynamic radar cruise control

with full-speed range provides driv-

ing assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are

limitations to the assistance pro-

vided.

Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.

rectly detecting the vehicle ahead:

• Conditions under which the vehicle-

to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly:

P.249

●

Set the speed appropriately
depending on the speed limit, traffic

flow, road conditions, weather con-

ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-
ble for checking the set speed.

●

Even when the system is function-
ing normally, the condition of the

preceding vehicle as detected by

the system may differ from the con-
dition observed by the driver.

Therefore, the driver must always

remain alert, assess the danger of
each situation and drive safely.

Relying solely on this system or

assuming the system ensures
safety while driving can lead to an

accident, resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Switch the dynamic radar cruise

control with full-speed range setting
to off, using the cruise control main

switch when not in use.

Cautions regarding the driving

assist systems

Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance

provided by the system. Failure to do

so may cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.

●

Assisting the driver to measure fol-

lowing distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism
that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can
assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.

●

Assisting the driver to judge proper

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether
the following distance between the
driver’s own vehicle and a designated
vehicle traveling ahead is within a set
range. It is not capable of making any
other type of judgement. Therefore, it
is absolutely necessary for the driver
to remain vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of
danger in any given situation.

●

Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle

The dynamic radar cruise control with

full-speed range does not include
functions which will prevent or avoid

collisions with vehicles ahead of your

vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver must

take immediate and direct control of

the vehicle and act appropriately in
order to ensure the safety of all

involved.

WARNING

■

Situations unsuitable for

dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range

Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may

result in inappropriate speed control

and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.

●

Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.

●

In heavy traffic

●

On roads with sharp bends

●

On winding roads

●

On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow

●

On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp

up and down gradients

Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.

●

At entrances to freeways and high-

ways

●

When weather conditions are bad

enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly

(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain,

etc.)

●

When there is rain, snow, etc., on

the front surface of the radar or
front camera

●

In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and

deceleration

●

When your vehicle is towing a

trailer or during emergency towing

●

When an approach warning buzzer

is heard often
