LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow) lane
lines, this function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might depart from
its lane or course
* and provides
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course
*. Furthermore, the
system provides steering assistance
when dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is operating
to keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or
a curb
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce
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 pay-
ing careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the
steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, the driver must 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.
●When not using the LTA system, use
the LTA switch to turn the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA
switch to turn the system off. Failure to do
so may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather,
fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered
road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see
due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or
restricted lane due to construction
work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are
equipped.
●When the tires have been excessively
worn, or when the tire inflation pres-
sure is low.

2084-5. Using the driving support systems
■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that the
vehicle might depart from its lane or
course
*, a warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and either a
warning buzzer will sound or the steer-
ing wheel will vibrate to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or the
steering wheel vibrates, check the area
around your vehicle and carefully operate
the steering wheel to move the vehicle
back to the center of the lane.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor: When
the system determines that the vehicle
might depart from its lane and that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the lane
departure alert will operate even if the turn
signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb
■Steering assist function
When the system determines that the
vehicle might depart from its lane or
course
*, the system provides assis-
tance as necessary by operating the
steering wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the vehicle
in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed
amount of time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed
on the multi-informat ion display and the
function is temporarily canceled.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor: When
the system determines that the vehicle
might depart from its lane and that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
steering assist function will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb
WARNING
●The vehicle is affected by wind from a
vehicle driven in a nearby lane.
●The vehicle has just changed lanes or
crossed an intersection.
●Tires which differ by structure, manu-
facturer, brand or tread pattern are
used.
●Snow tires, etc. are equipped.
●The vehicle is being driven at
extremely high speeds.

Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 It is recommended that the vehicle is
fitted with four snow run-flat tires or
purchase a set of tire chains for the
front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and
brand, and that chains match the size of the
tires.
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water

to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air
pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120
km/h), regardless of the type of snow
tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed
limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), which-
ever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces
or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden br aking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering
a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist).
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.
Before driving the vehicle

2684-6. Driving tips
NOTICE
●Water entering the hybrid transmis-
sion and rear electric motor (traction
motor) will cause deterioration in
hybrid transmission quality. The mal-
function indicator may come on, and
the vehicle may not be drivable.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel
bearings, causing rusting and prema-
ture failure, and may also enter the
hybrid transmission case, reducing the
gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow stre ams, first check the
depth of the water and the bottom of the
riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and
avoid deep water.
■Inspection after off-road driving
●Sand and mud that has accumulated
around brake discs may affect braking
efficiency and may damage brake sys-
tem components.
●Always perform a maintenance
inspection after each day of off-road
driving that has taken you through
rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For
scheduled maintenance information,
refer to the “Warranty and Services
Guide/Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment/Scheduled Maintenance”.
