canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation
of the function is automatically restored. ( P. 396)
● If the operation conditions (P. 397) are no longer met while the lane cen-
tering function is operating, the buzzer may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled.
■ Steering assist function/lane centering function
● Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the function is operating or the function may not
operate at all.

■ Lane departure alert function
● The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio
playback, etc.
● If the edge of the course* is not clear or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.
● Vehicle with BSM: It may not be possible for the system to determine if there
is a danger of a collision with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the lane departure alert function.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or
a curb
■ Hands off steering wheel warning
● When the system determines that the driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while 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 tempora rily can-
celed. This warning also operates in the same way when the driv er continu-
ously operates the steering wheel only a small amount.
● When the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from the lane
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating.
Depending on the vehicle condition and road conditions, the war ning may
not operate. Also, if the system determines that the vehicle is driving
around a curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straigh t-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 d river is
warned. Each time the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of the buzzer
becomes longer.
In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display to warn the driver. The
warning stops when the system deter-
mines that the driver holds the steering
wheel. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel when using this system,
regardless of warnings.

■ Vehicle sway warning function
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, the warning may n ot operate.
■ Warning message
If the following warning message is displayed on the multi-info rmation display
and the LTA indicator illuminates in orange, follow the appropr iate trouble-
shooting procedure. Also, if a different warning message is dis played, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen.
● “LTA Malfunction. Visit Your Dealer.”
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle insp ected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, o r any reliable
repairer.
● “LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled due to a malfunction in a se nsor other
than the front camera. Turn the LTA system off, wait for a litt le 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 LT A opera-
tion range. Drive slower.
■ Customization
Function settings can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 786)
When the system determines 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 simultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information display.

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front
camera and/or navigation system
(when speed limit information is
available) to provide information
to the driver via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc., according to the re cognized
road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notificatio n and notifi-
cation buzzer.
: If equipped
Summary of function
WARNING
■ Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. RSA is a system which s upports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacemen t for a driver’s
own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention
to the traffic rules.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings.
● The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range provides driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are li mitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahe ad:
P. 423
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly: P. 424
● Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
● Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the condi tion
observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always remai n alert,
assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying s olely on this
system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off,
using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or se rious injury.
● Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the following distance between t he driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mecha-
nism that allows careless or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that
can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for
driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
● Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise contro l with full-speed range determines
whether the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a
designated vehicle traveling ahead is within a set range. It is not capable
of making any other type of judgement. Therefore, it is absolut ely neces-
sary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there
is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
● Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range does not include
functions which will prevent or avoid collisions with vehicles ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any possibility of danger, the driver must
take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act approp riately in
order to ensure the safety of all involved.

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed
range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range i n any of the
following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could ca use an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
● Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
● In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a stee p hill.
● At entrances to freeways and highways
● When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain , etc.)
● When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or front
camera
● In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated acceleration and decel-
eration
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
● When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
