4-5. Using the driving support systems
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course*, and also can
slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise control is
operating, this system will operate
the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Additionally,
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
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
Summary of functions
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not automatically 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 paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect 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 driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off. Fail-ure 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-cov-ered 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 con-
struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., are
equipped.
●When the tires have been exces-
sively worn, or when the tire infla- tion pressure is low.

Driving
other systems.
■Objects which the system may not
be properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur- rounding environment may affect the ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display may be displayed abnormally, or objects, such
as a wall, may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the
vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Pedestrians wearing clothes which only partially reflect ultrasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-
lar to the ground, not perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection
range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●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 towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,
or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
■Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow- ing, the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
●When driving on a narrow road
●When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad cross- ings, toll gates and parking lots)
●When there is a rut or hole in the sur-face of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grat-ing), such as those used for drainage ditches
●When driving up or down a steep slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a
flooded road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice
on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●If the front of the vehicle 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
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb
●Driving close to columns (H-shaped
steel beams, etc.) in multi-story park- ing garages, construction sites, etc.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is
malfunctioning
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS
system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or seri-ous injury.
■When the electric power steer-ing system warning light comes
on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the
steering wheel become extremely heavy.When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre- cautions.Failure to do so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire and full-size spare tire: If the tire
pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you
have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest any authorized Toy- ota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after
tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire.Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair
the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn- ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci- fications or makers, as the tire pres-sure warning system may not operate
properly.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
Stop the vehicle in a safe place
on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (Multid-
rive) or N (manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers.
( P.296)
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and make
emergency repair with the repair kit
impossible.
■A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire punc-
If you have a flat tire
(vehicles with an emer-
gency tire puncture
repair kit)
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. (The kit
contains a bottle of sealant.
The sealant can be used only
once to temporarily repair one
tire without removing the nail
or screw from the tire.)
Depending on the damage, this
kit cannot be used to repair the
tire. ( P.313)
After temporarily repairing the
tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. Repairs
conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and
replaced as soon as possible.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair, which could
result in an accident.
Before repairing the tire
