LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes
the lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle has deviated from its lane, it
alerts the driver using a buzzer and indications on the meter.

The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.

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.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LDA system
●Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
● Do not modify the suspension. If your suspension needs repairs, contact
your Toyota dealer.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull ba rs, kangaroo bar etc.).
