• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
• The brake pedal is depressed.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision warning)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turni ng left or right at an inter-
section which targets oncoming vehicles does not work.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision braking)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turni ng left or right at an inter-
section which targets oncoming vehicles does not work.
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based on their size, profile, motion, etc. However, an object may not be detected depend-
ing on the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, and angle of the detected object, preventing the system
from operating properly. ( P.169) The illustration shows an image of detectable objects.
■Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no pos- sibility of a collision
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, the system may determine that there is a possibility of a frontal colli-
sion and operate. • When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while overtak- ing a detectable object, etc.• When approaching a detectable
object in an adjacent lane or on the roadside, such as when changing the course of travel or driving on a wind-
ing road

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.

WARNING
●During emergency towing
■Preventing LTA system malfunc- tions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or place stickers, etc., on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension, etc. If the suspension, etc., needs to be
replaced, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not
install a grille guard (bull bars, kan- garoo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Conditions in which functions
may not operate properly
In the following situations, the func- tions may not operate properly 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.177) and the
preceding vehicle changes lanes. (Your vehicle may follow the pre-ceding vehicle and also change
lanes.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis- play is displayed ( P.177) and the preceding vehicle is swaying. (Your
vehicle may sway accordingly and depart from the lane.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.177) and the preceding vehicle departs from its
lane. (Your vehicle may follow the preceding vehicle and depart from the lane.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.177) and the
preceding vehicle is being driven extremely close to the left/right lane line. (Your vehicle may follow the
preceding vehicle and depart from the lane.)
●Vehicle is being driven around a sharp curve.
●Objects or patterns that could be mistaken for white (yellow) lines are present on the side of the road
(guardrails, reflective poles, etc.).
