Temporary cancellation of the LKA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LKA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
The turn signal lever is operated.
The steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to cause the vehicle to
change lanes.
The brake pedal is depressed.
However, the lane keeping assist function will not resume even after the
brake pedal is released because depressing the brake pedal also can-
cels the dynamic radar cruise control (only lane departure warning func-
tion will resume).
The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LKA system
functions. (The buzzer will beep twice when the lane keeping assist func-
tion is being canceled.)
When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving. (The buzzer will
beep twice when the lane keeping assist function is being canceled.)
The wiper operates continuously. (The buzzer will beep twice when the
lane keeping assist function is being canceled.)
The buzzer may not beep when the LKA system functions are canceled
because the notification of dynamic radar cruise control cancellation
takes priority over the LKA system and cancels the function.
When the lane departure warning function is activated
The lane departure warning function will be temporarily canceled and will not
resume until a few seconds elapse after it is activated.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the front wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.
VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Control+)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering performance.
PCS (Pre-Crash Safety) (if equipped)
P. 325
Emergency brake signal (if equipped)
When the brakes are applied suddenly, the stop lights automatically
flash to alert the vehicle behind.

Tire information
Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. (P. 743)
Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
Trailer lights
Check that the turn signal lights and stoplights are operating correctly every
time you hitch up the trailer. Directly wiring up to your vehicle may damage
the electrical system and stop the lights from functioning correctly.
Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
Maintenance
Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle
for towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle com-
pared to normal driving.
Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
