■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehi-
cle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe
and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-tion with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be oper-
ating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer immediately.

■Stopping the engine in an emer-gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehi- cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or
press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P.462)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving assist system
WA R N I N G
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed
to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is
designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver
in normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of rec-
ognition 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’s surroundings
and driving safely.

WA R N I N G
■Limitations of the pre-collision
system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your
surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances.
This system will not prevent colli- sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not
overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effec- tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able to achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following conditions care- fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P.206
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly:P.207
●Do not attempt to test the operation
of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard
objects imitating detectable objects,
etc.), the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brak-
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking function
may not operate if certain opera- tions are performed by the driver. If
the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre- vent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision braking function is
operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator
pedal is depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is
taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva- sive action and possibly delay the
operation timing of the pre-collision
braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing
another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via
truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the engine running and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
2064-5. Using the driving support systems
■Cancelation of the pre-collision
braking
If either of the following occur while the
pre-collision braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply
or abruptly.
■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
• When rapidly closing on a detectable
object, etc. • When approaching objects on the
roadside, such as detectable objects,
guardrails, utility poles, trees, or walls • When there is a detectable object or
other object by the roadside at the
entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or paint in
front of your vehicle that may be mis-
taken for a detectable object • When the front of your vehicle is hit by
water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable object that is changing lanes or making a
right/left turn
• When passing a detectable object in
an oncoming lane that is stopped to
make a right/left turn
• When a detectable object approaches
very close and then stops before entering the path of your vehicle
• If the front of your vehicle is raised or
lowered, such as when on an uneven or undulating road surface
• When driving on a road surrounded by
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
an iron bridge • When there is a metal object (man-
hole cover, steel plate, etc.), steps, or
a protrusion in front of your vehicle

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)*
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow)
lane lines, this function alerts
the driver when the vehicle
might depart from its lane or
course* and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course*. Furthermore,
the system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating to
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) la ne lines or a
course* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects
preceding vehicles using the
front camera and radar.

2104-5. Using the driving support systems
WA R N I N G
■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.
