■Adjusting the display (digital 
mirror mode)
●If the displayed image is adjusted, 
it may appear distorted. This is not 
a malfunction.
●If the brightness of the Digital 
Rearview Mirror is set too high, it 
may cause eye strain. Adjust the 
Digital Rearvie w Mirror to an 
appropriate brightness. If your 
eyes become tired, change to 
optical mirror mode.
●The brightness of the Digital Rear-
view Mirror will ch ange automati-
cally according to the brightness 
of the area in fron t of your vehicle.
■To prevent the light sensors 
from malfunctioning
To prevent the light sensors from 
malfunctioning, do not touch or 
cover them.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
■While driving
●Do not adjust the position of the 
Digital Rearview Mirror or adjust 
the display settings while driv-
ing.
Stop the vehicle and operate 
the Digital Rearview Mirror con-
trol switches. 
Failure to do so may cause a 
steering wheel operation error, 
resulting in an  unexpected acci-
dent.
●Always pay attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings.
The size of the vehicles and other 
objects may look different when in 
digital mirror mode and optical 
mirror mode.
When backing up, make sure to 
directly check the safety of the 
area around your vehicle, espe-
cially behind the vehicle.
Additionally, if a vehicle 
approaches from the rear in the 
dark, such as at night, the sur-
rounding area may appear dim.
■To prevent causes of fire
If the driver continues using the 
Digital Rearview Mirror while 
smoke or odor comes from the 
mirror, it may result in fire. Stop 
using the system immediately and 
contact your Toyota dealer.

play.
The warning timing setting is 
retained when the power switch is 
turned OFF. However, if the pre-col-
lision system is disabled and 
re-enabled, the ope ration timing will 
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).

●When tires of a size other than 
specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes 
other than that highways and

■Preventing LTA system mal-
functions and operations per-
formed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or 
place stickers, etc. on the sur-
face of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension 
etc. If the suspension etc. needs 
to be replaced, contact your 
Toyota dealer.

not install a gr ille guard (bull 
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs 
repairs, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
■Conditions in which functions 
may not operate properly
In the following s ituations, the 
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart 
from its lane. Drive safely by 
always paying careful attention to 
your surroundings and operate 
the steering wheel to correct the 
path of the vehicle without relying 
solely on the functions.
●When the follow- up cruising dis-
play is displayed (P.262) and 
the preceding vehicle changes 
lanes. (Your vehicle may follow 
the preceding vehicle and also 
change lanes.)
●When the follow- up cruising dis-
play is displayed (

●Do not replace a sensor with a 
part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its 
surrounding area to a strong 
impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, 
and always keep them clean.
●If the area around a radar sen-
sor is subjected to an impact, 
the system may not operate 
properly due to a sensor mal-
function. Have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as 
changes to the height or inclina-
tion of the vehicle may prevent 
the sensors from detecting 
objects correctly or cause the sys-
tem to not operate or operate 
unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake 
function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as 
at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects) 
operates unnecessarily, such as 
at a railroad cross ing, brake con-
trol will be cancele d after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to 
proceed forward and leave the 
area, brake control can also be 
canceled by depressing the brake 
pedal. Depressing the accelera-
tor pedal after brake control is 
canceled will allow you to proceed 
forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of 
water or steam to the sensor 
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor 
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure 
washer to wash the vehicle, do 
not spray the sensors directly, 
as doing so may cause a sensor 
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the 
vehicle, do not direct steam too 
close to the sensors as doing so 
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
■When to disable the Parking 
Support Brake
In the following situations, disable 
the Parking Suppor t Brake as the 
system may opera te even though 
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●When inspecting the vehicle 
using a chassis roller, chassis 
dynamo or free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a 
boat, truck or other transport 
vessel
●If the suspension has been 
modified or tires of a size other 
than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is 
raised or lowered due to the 
carried load
●When equipment that may 
obstruct a sensor is installed, 
such as a towing eyelet, bumper 
protector (an additional trim 
strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or 
snow plow
●When using an automatic car

ate properly.
●Weather
• When a sensor or the area around  a sensor is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing
• If a sensor is covered with ice,  snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the 
system will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a 
sensor
• When driving in inclement weather  such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
• When the sensor is frozen (Once  the sensor thaws, the system will 
return to normal)
●Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be 
detected is betw een the vehicle 
and a detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle, 
motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian 
cuts in front of the  vehicle or runs 
out from the side of the vehicle
• The vehicle is approaching a tall  or curved curb.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on 
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• If objects draw too close to the  sensor.
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle  detectors, motorcycle engines, air 
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of other vehicles or  other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic compo-
nent, such as a backlit license 
plate (especially fluorescent type), 
fog lights, fender pole or wireless 
antenna is installed near a sensor
●Changes in the v ehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the v ehicle is raised 
or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has  been changed due to  a collision or 
other impact
• When equipment that may  obstruct a sensor is installed, such 
as a bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle car-
rier, or snow plow
• If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a  size other than 
specified are installed
• If a sensor has been painted or 
covered with a sticker, etc.
