4-5. Using the driving support systems
■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system will be temporarily canceled.
The function will resume after the necessary operating conditions have
returned.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system.
● The turn signal lever is operated.
● When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
● When the lane departure warning function is activated.
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
It may be difficult to hear the sensory warning depending on the road condi-
tions.
■ After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and the LDA indicator comes on in yel-
low for a while after driving has started.
When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature around
the camera sensor ( P. 245) becomes suitable for its operation, the func-
tions will begin to operate.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the LDA system may not operate, or it may not be
possible to ensure adequate performance. Also, the camera sensor may be
unable to recognize lane markers causing the lane departure warning func-
tion to operate incorrectly. However, 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 sys-
tem to recognize compared to white markers.)
● When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement marker”
or stones
● When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
● When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.

Driving
CAUTION
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
■ Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

• Have the tires been rotated according to the maintenance
schedule?
• The wheel nuts should not be loose.
CAUTION
■ If the engine is running

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and tr ansmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light. ( P. 508)
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pr essure warning system must be
initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID
codes registered by your Toyota dealer. ( P. 447)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized when
changing the tire size:
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
