●When operation conditions are no lon-
ger met, a function may be temporar-
ily canceled. However, when the
operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function is automati-
cally restored. (P.369)
●If the operation conditions (P.369)
are no longer met while the lane cen-
tering function is operating, the steer-
ing wheel may vibrate and the buzzer
may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled.
However, if the “Alert” customization
setting is set to “Steering wheel vibra-
tion”, the system will notify the driver
by vibrating the steering wheel instead
of sounding the buzzer.
■Steering assist function/lane cen-
tering function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, lane
departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the func-
tion is operating or the function may
not operate at all.
●The steering control of the function is
overridden by the driver’s steering
wheel operation.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of
the steering assist function.
■Lane departure alert function
●The warning buzzer may be difficult to
hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc. Also, it may be difficult to
feel steering wheel vibrations due to
the road conditions, etc.
●If the edge of the course* is not clear
or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.
●Vehicles with BSM: It may not be pos-
sible for the system to determine if
there is a danger of a collision with a
vehicle in an adjacent lane.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of
the lane departure alert function.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,

Driving
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 while driving
around a curve
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.
●“LTA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer”
The system may not be operating prop-
erly. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled due
to a malfunction in a sensor other than
the front camera. Turn the LTA system
off, wait for a little while, and then turn
the LTA system back on.
●“LTA Unavailable at Current Speed”

3725-5. Using the driving support systems
The function cannot be used as the
vehicle speed exceeds the LTA opera-
tion range. Drive slower.
■Customization
Function settings can be changed.
( P.186)
*: If equipped
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or naviga-
tion system (when speed limit
information is available) to pro-
vide information to the driver
via the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over the
speed limit, performing prohib-
ited actions, etc. according to
the recognized road signs, it
notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notifica-
tion buzzer or steering wheel
vibration.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.

3805-5. Using the driving support systems
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 vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) 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
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
