WARNING
■Before using the LDA
Do not over rely on the LDA. The LDA does not drive the vehicle automati-
cally, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the
driver must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her sur-
roundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and
for driving safely. Also, take occasional rests from fatigue due to driving over
long periods of time, etc.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA off using the LDA switch when not in use. (P. 228)
■Situations unsuitable for LDA
Do not use the LDA 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, dirt, 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 through construction areas

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LDA
Observe the following to ensure that the LDA system functions correctly
●Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension. When performing a replacement, contact
your Toyota dealer.
●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 liquids 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 area in front of the camera sensor is fogged up, use the
windshield defogger to remove the fog from that area. (P. 366)
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.
●When replacing the windshield, contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to
the windshield near the camera sensor.

Rear view monitor system
The rear view image is displayed when the shift lever is in R and the
power switch is in ON mode.
The rear view monitor system will be deactivated when the shift lever is in
any position other than R.
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the vehicle with fixed guide lines on
the screen 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 power switch is in ON mode.
Vehicle width extension guide line
Displays a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
This lines indicate the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line
Displays a point approximately 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) (red) from the edge of the
bumper.
Distance guide line
Displays a point approximately 1 m (3 ft.) (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.
The image adjustment proce-
dure for the rear view monitor
system screen is the same as
the procedure for adjusting the
screen. (P. 281)
• 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 dis-
played.
• 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
on the monitor.

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located as
shown in the illustration.
●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
with water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the lens 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 parking 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
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be far-
ther away than they actually
are. In the same way, there
will be a margin of error
between the guide lines and
the actual distance/course on
the road.
●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther 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 guide lines 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
passengers or the distribu-
tion of the load, there is a
margin of error between the
fixed guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed 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 vehi-
cle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed
of a truck), be careful of the following.
●Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. In the case shown
below, the truck appears to
be outside of the vehicle
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 vehi-
cle width guide lines. In real-
ity if you back up as guided
by the vehicle width guide
lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.
