●Depending on the vehicle speed, lane
departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the func-
tion is operating or the function may
not operate at all.
●The steering control of the function is
overridden by the driver’s steering
wheel operation.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of
the steering assist function.

hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc.
●If the edge of the course* is not clear
or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.

■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel and the symbol shown in
the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display to warn the
driver. The warning stops when the sys-
tem determines that the driver holds the
steering wheel. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the system is
operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and
the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may deviate from the lane
while driving around a curve while the
lane centering function is operating.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than
during straight-lane driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering
wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the
buzzer sounds and the driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con-
tinuing time of the buzzer becomes lon-
ger.

If constant speed control mode is auto-
matically canceled for any reasons other
than the above, there may be a malfunc-
tion in the system. Contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not
operate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate
properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly
(→P.194), when using this function,
make sure to check the speed limit sign
displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not be changed to the recognized
speed limit by pressing and holding the
“+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail-
able
●When the recognized speed limit is
the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is
outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system
can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard
and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. (→P.158, 323)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning (→P.187) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers
with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the
surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in
the luggage compartment, etc.)

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor
unnecessarily detecting a vehicle
and/or object may increase in the fol-
lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to
a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that
enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecu-
tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips
in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or
when driving on the edge of a lane,
and a vehicle traveling in a lane other
than the adjacent lanes enters the
detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a following vehicle is short
• When an accessory (such as a bicycle
carrier) is installed to the rear of the

●The limits of tire gripping perfor-mance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
