■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.

■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system 
Do not overly rely on the system, as  
doing so may lead to an accident.
●The driver is solely responsible for  safe driving. Always drive carefully,  
taking care to observe your 
surroundings. The Parking Support  Brake system is designed to pro- 
vide support to lessen the severity 
of collisions. However, it may not  operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle  
completely. Additionally, even if the 
system has stopped the vehicle, it  is necessary to depress the brake  
pedal immediately as brake control 
will be canceled after approximately  2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operatio ns by intention- 
ally driving the vehicle into the 
direction of a wall, etc. Never  attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake 
In the following situations, disable the  
Parking Support Br ake as the system  may operate even though there is no  
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using 
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or 
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a 
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than  specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow- 
ing eyelet, bumper protector (an 
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle  carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the  
vehicle has been in an accident or 
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a 
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly 
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare 
tire or an emergency tire puncture 
repair kit is used
