WARNING
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. LDA is not a system which auto-
matically drives the vehicle or reduces the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by always paying careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions and operate the steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, make sure to take adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.
■Preventing LDA system malfunctions and operations performed by
mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or place stickers, etc., on the surface of the
lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be
replaced, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a
grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Driving
■Hood
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system with the shift lever in D or M, the engine will stall
and will not be able to be restarted by the automatic engine start function. In
this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure.
(P. 209, 213)
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system with the shift lever in P or N, the engine will be
restarted automatically.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: If the hood is opened while the engine
is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the engine will stall and will not be
able to be restarted by the automatic engine start function. In this case,
restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure.
(P. 209, 213)
●If the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the Stop
& Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch off,
wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
■When to use the Stop & Start system
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: If the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system and the shift lever is shifted into a position other than N with the
clutch pedal released, a buzzer will sound and Stop & Start indicator will
flash. This indicates that the engine is only stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, not that the engine has been turned off completely.
●Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, stop the engine completely.
●When the system does not operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warn-
ing messages (vehicles with a 2-ring meter only) and a warning buzzer are
used to inform the driver. (P. 294)
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: If the engine switch is pressed
when the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the engine will stall
and will not be able to be restarted by the automatic engine start function. In
this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure.
(P. 209, 213)
●When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the power outlet
may be temporarily unusable, but this is not a malfunction.
●Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for details.

Maintenance and care
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may
need replacement. (P. 514)
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
■If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota products designed for this
vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent
overload, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
WARNING
■To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or
injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use
any other object in place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any

professional as soon as possible.
