WARNING
nBefore using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-
standing his/her surroundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct
the driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
n To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
n Situations unsuitable for LDA system
Do not use the LDA system in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an
accident.
lWhen driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
l When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be mis-
interpreted as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts,
etc.)
l When driving on snowy roads
l When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog,
sand, dirt, etc.
l When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the
remains of old lane markers are still visible on the road
l When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when
driving in a temporary lane

uECB (Electronically Controlled Brake System)
The electronically controlled system generates braking force corre-
sponding to the brake operation
uABS (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
uBrake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
uVSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
uEnhanced VSC (Enhanced Ve hicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional st ability when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controllin g steering performance.
uTRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
uHill-start assist control
Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.

WARNING
nThe ABS does not operate effectively when
lThe limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
l The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
n Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
l When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
l When driving with tire chains
l When driving over bumps in the road
l When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
n TRAC may not operat e effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
n Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
lDo not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
l Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may
lead to an accident.
n When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
n When the TRAC/VSC syst ems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.

Changing the alert timing of the pre-collision system
Each time the PCS switch is
pressed, the response to the
distance changes as follows.
Far
Middle
*
Near
*: Default setting
n
Turning off the pre-collision system
Press the PCS switch for 3 or
more seconds.
The PCS warning light turns on
and a message is shown on the
multi-information display.
To turn on the system, press the
PCS switch again. The system
is set to on each time the power
switch is turned to ON mode.
The radar sensor detects vehi-
cles or other obstacles on or near
the road ahead and determines
whether a collision is imminent
based on the position, speed, and
heading of the obstacles.

WARNING
nLimitations of the pre-collision system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen
damage or injuries in all cases. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to
do so may cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
This system has been designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of col-
lisions.
However, the system operates differently depending on the situation ( P.
226). As a result, the same level of performance may not be expected in all
cases. Also, the pre-collision brakes may not operate if the driver is
depressing the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel, as the system will
determine such conditions as collision avoidance operations.
n Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effec-
tively.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an
accident.
lKeep the sensor and grille cover clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and grille cover with a soft cloth so you do not mark or
damage them.
l Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may not work
normally or malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a
strong impact, always have the area inspected and adjusted by your
Toyota dealer.
l Do not disassemble the sensor.
l Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille cover or sur-
rounding area.
l Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
l If the radar sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
nHandling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor sensor is installed inside the left and right side of
the vehicle rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the
Blind Spot Monitor can function correctly.
lDo not subject the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper to a strong
impact. If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may mal-
function and vehicles that enter the detection area may not be detected.\
If
the sensor or surrounding area is subj ect to a strong impact, always have
the area inspected by your Toyota dealer.
l Do not disassemble the sensor.
l Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
l Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
l Do not paint the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
lKeep the sensor and its surrounding
area on the bumper clean at all times.
