immobilizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping: P. 548)
When the electronic key battery is depleted
Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication device

cargo capacity and load:
CAUTION
Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
Receptacles containing gasoline
Aerosol cans
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, may
block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or passengers,
possibly causing an accident.
Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not
stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to
the floor as possible.
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly
behind the front seats.
Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for pas-
sengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened.
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray

• In front of the navigation system screen (if equipped) or Lexus Display
Audio screen (if equipped)
Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
Load and distribution
Do not overload your vehicle.
Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control
which may cause death or serious injury.

Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
The turn signal lever is operated.
The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system func-
tions.
When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several sec-
onds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while
the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear
the warning sound.
After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message (P. 518) will be
displayed for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin
decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor (P. 264) becomes suit-
able for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane markers
could not be recognized.
Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a
crossing or before a ticket checkpoint
When driving on a sharp curve
When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or
improper tire inflation pressure
When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short
When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the system
to recognize compared to white markers.)
When the lane markers are broken, Botts’ dots (raised pavement markers) or
stones
When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a
shadow covers the lane markers
When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
