■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.
●When not using the LTA system, use the LTA switch  to turn the sys- 
tem off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA 
system

■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system 
There is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control perfor- 
mance that this system can provide, 
do not overly rely on this system. The  driver is always responsible for paying  
attention to the vehicle’ surroundings 
and driving safely.
■To ensure the system can oper-
ate properly 
Observe the following precautions.  Failing to do so may  result in the vehi- 
cle being unable to be driven safely 
and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not damage the sensors, and 
always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install an 
electronic component, such as a  backlit license plate (especially fluo- 
rescent type), fog lights, fender pole 
or wireless antenna near a radar  sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding area of the sensor to a strong impact. If  
subjected to an impact, have the 
vehicle inspected by any authorized  Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer. If 
the front or rear bumper needs to  be emoved/installed or replaced,  
contact any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized  repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate cover.

3644-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according to  
the driving conditions: 
 Do not try to forcibly open a win- 
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the 
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe 
away the water immediately to 
prevent it from freezing. 
 To ensure proper operation of  
the climate control system fan, 
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in 
front of the windshield. 
 Check for and remove any  
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, 
around the tires or on the brakes. 
 Remove any snow or mud from  
the bottom of your shoes before 
getting in the vehicle. 
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep  
a safe distance between you and  
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a 
reduced speed suitable to road 
conditions. 
 Park the vehicle and shift the  
shift lever to P (Multidrive), or 1 
or R (manual transmission) with-
out setting the parking brake. 
The parking brake may freeze 
up, preventing it from being 
released. If the vehicle is parked 
without setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the 
vehicle to move unexpectedly, 
possibly leading  to an accident. 
 Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the  
vehicle is parked without setting 
the parking brake, confirm that 
the shift lever cannot be moved  
out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is  
attempted to be shifted from P to any 
other position without depressing the 
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be 
shifted from P, there may be a prob-
lem with the shift lock system. Have 
the vehicle inspected by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer 
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
Use the correct tire chain size when 
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires  
(vehicles with a tire pressure 
warning system) 
Request repairs or replacement of  
snow tires from any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,  or any reliable repairer or legitimate  
tire retailers.
This is because the removal and 
attachment of snow tires affects the  operation of the tire pressure warning  
valves and transmitters.
