Functions included in the LTA system are Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist,
Vehicle Sway Warning and Lane Centering.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LTA operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

swaying, the system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning display
on the MID.
Continuous lane deviations from swaying.
Gentle swaying from driver’sinattentiveness.
Acute steering wheel operation after the number of operations decrease due to driver’s inattentiveness.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Push the “” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
LONG(default setting)MIDDLESHORT
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
Preceding vehicle mark
(1) (2) (3)
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.

changes in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been
initialized recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should
turn off the light.
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the vehicle off. (Initialization cannot be
performed while the vehicle is moving.) Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
specified cold tire inflation pressure level then turn the vehicle to ON.
