●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been
driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the mes- sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around t he radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front
camera
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor is cov-
ered with dirt, moisture (fogged up, cov-
ered with condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matter
To clean the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera, use the wind-
shield wipers or the windshield defogger
of the air conditioning system ( P.424,
429).
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditi oning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.

■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
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.
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes
other than that highways and free-
ways.
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or 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 guar d (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.

on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the steering wheel whil e the system is
operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper- ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may not turn and instead
depart from its lane while driving around a curve
Depending on the vehicle condition and road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a curve, warnings will occur earlier than
during straight-lane driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the buzzer sounds and the driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con-
tinuing time of the buzzer becomes
longer.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system dete rmines that the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle
sway warning function is operating, a
buzzer sounds and a warning message
urging the driver to rest and the symbol shown in the illustration are simultane-
ously displayed on the multi-information
display.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-
ditions, the warning may not operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information display
and the LTA indicator illuminates in orange, follow the appropriate trouble-
shooting procedure. Also, if a different
warning message is displayed, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
●“LTA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer”
The system may not be operating prop-
erly. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled due
to a malfunction in a sensor other than
the front camera. Turn the LTA system off, wait for a little while, and then turn
the LTA system back on.
●“LTA Unavailable at Current Speed”
The function cannot be used as the vehicle speed exceeds the LTA opera-
tion range. Drive slower.
■Customization
Function settings can be changed.

■When the vehicle stops while fol-
low-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while the
vehicle ahead stops will resume fol- low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead
starts off within approximately 3 sec-
onds after the switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3
seconds after your vehicle stops, fol- low-up cruising will be resumed.

play, read the message and follow the instructions. ( P.222, 520)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend- ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning ( P.266) may not be
