WARNING
■Before 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.
■ To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
■ 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.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
● 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.)
● When driving on snowy roads
● When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog,
sand dust, etc.
● 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
● When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when
driving in a temporary lane

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to or incorr ect operation of the LDA system
● Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
● Do not modify the suspension or replace it with non-genuine parts.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar etc.).
● If your windshield needs repairs, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Camera sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the LDA system functions correctly.
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
Performance could be affected if the windshield is dirty, or if raindrops,
condensation or ice are adhering to the windshield.
● Do not spill liquid onto the camera sensor
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
● If the windshield is fogged up, use the windshield defogger to remove fog
from the windshield.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on
the images.
● Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the windshield, be careful not to get any glass
cleaner etc. on the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
For lens repair, contact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not change the installation position or direction of the camera sensor or
remove it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
● Do not subject the camera sensor to strong impact or force, and do not
disassemble the camera sensor.
● Do not replace windshield with non-genuine windshield.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to
the windshield near the camera sensor.

The rear view image is displayed
when the shift position is in R and
the engine switch is in “ON” posi-
tion.
The rear view monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever
is in any position other than R.

OWNER’S MANUAL”.
Audio system with “CAR” button
The rear view monitor system as sists the driver by displaying
guide lines and an image of the view behind the vehicle while
backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.

Screen description
The rear view monitor system screen will be displayed if the shift
lever is shifted to R while the e
ngine switch is in “ON” position.
Vehicle width guide lines
The line indicates a guide path when the vehicle is being backed
straight up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide lines
These lines indicate the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line
The line shows points approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the center
of the edge of the bumper.
Distance guide line
The line shows distance behind the vehicle, a point approximately 3 ft.
(1 m) (blue) from the edge of the bumper.

Area displayed on screen
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear
area of the vehicle.
To adjust the image on the rear
view monitor system screen.
(
 P. 350)
• The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to
vehicle orientation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper cannot be seen on
the screen.
• The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears
on the screen differs from the actual distance.
• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed by the monitor.
■
Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located
above the license plate.
● Using the camera
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the lens, rinse it with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the l ens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.

Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing
lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the pa rking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

●When the ground behind the vehi cle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
● When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When approaching thre e-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displa yed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the dis-
tance guide lines. When approachi ng a three-dimensional object
that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of
the following.
A margin of error

●Distance guidelines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehi-
cle. On the screen, it appears
that a truck is parked at point . However, in reality if you
back up to point , you will hit
the truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest and is furthest away. However,
in reality, the distance to
and is the same, and is
farther than and .
■Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehi-
cle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the
truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over
the vehicle width guide lines. In re ality if you back up as guided by
the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
