■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system will be temporarily canceled. The functions
will resume after the necessary oper ating conditions have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The brake pedal is depressed.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system.
●The lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●The wiper operates continuously.
●When the lane departure warning function is activated.
Once the lane departure warning function is activated, it will be temporarily canceled
and resume a few seconds later.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while the audio
system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message ( →P. 531) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin decreases
and the temperature around the camera sensor ( →P. 239) becomes suitable for its
operation, the functions will begin to operate.

■Conditions in which the func
tion may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane markers
causing the lane departure wa rning function to operate incorrectly. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or
before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unus ual amount due to a heavy load or improper
tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the system to rec-
ognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement marker” or stones
●When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
●When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a shadow
covers the lane markers
●When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as the entrance to
or exit from a tunnel
●When sunlight or the headlight s of oncoming vehicles are shining directly into the cam-
era lens
●When driving on roads that are branching or merging
●When driving on a road surface that is wet du e to rain, previous rainfall, standing water,
etc.
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when driving on an
extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
●When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or when
the headlights are misaligned
●When driving on winding road s or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads
■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, such as snow tire, etc., sufficient performance may not be
maintainable.
■Warning messages and buzzers for LDA system
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. ( →P. 531, 532)

CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the vehicle auto-
matically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the driver
must always assume full responsibility fo r understanding 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 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 driving with non-standard parts or aftermarket equipment installed (including
modified tires and suspensions, etc.).
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinterpreted
as lane markers (such as guardrails, 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 in a lane other than the driv ing or passing lanes on a freeway or high-
way.
●When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving in a
temporary lane

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 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, contac t your Lexus dealer.
■Camera sensor (→P. 239)
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 ti nting to the windshield.
●Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
●If the windshield is fogged up, use the wi ndshield 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, contac t your Lexus 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.
