Situations in which the system may not operate properly

●

In some situations such as the following, an object may not be detected by
the radar sensor and front camera, preventing the system from operating
properly:

ing, acceleration or deceleration)

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)



While  driving  on  a  road  with  clear  white  (yellow)  lane  lines,  the LTA
system  warns  the  driver  if  the  vehicle  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. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.

: Boundary between asphalt and the

side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb

Summary of functions

WARNING

■

Before using LTA system

●

Do not rely solely upon the LTA system. The LTA system does not auto-
matically 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 surround-
ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct 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 driving operations and pay careful attention
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-covered road.

●

White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.

●

sure is low.

●

When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

■

Preventing LTA system malfunctions 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, kangaroo bar, etc.).

●

If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Lane departure alert function

When  the  system  determines
that  the  vehicle  might  depart
from  its  lane  or  course

, a

warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and a
warning buzzer will sound to
alert the driver.

When the warning buzzer sounds,
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  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
