WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 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 recognition 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 vehicl e’s surround-
ings and driving safely.

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
While driving on a road with clear white (yellow) lane lines, t he LTA
system warns the driver if the vehicle may deviate from the cur rent
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 with full-s peed range is operating, this s ystem will
operate the steering wheel to ma intain the vehicle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, 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

■Steering assist function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, the
system provides assistance as
necessary by operating the
steering wheel in small
amounts for a short period of
time to keep the vehicle in its
lane.
If the system detects that the
steering wheel has not been
operated for a fixed amount of
time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, a warning
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the function
is temporarily canceled.

■Lane centering function
This function is linked with
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range and pro-
vides the required assistance
by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current
lane.
When dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range is not
operating, the lane centering
function does not operate.
In situations where the white
(yellow) lane lines are difficult to
see or are not visible, such as
when in a traffic jam, this func-
tion will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring
the position of the preceding
vehicle.
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been oper ated for
a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firml y gripped,
a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and the function
is temporarily canceled.
