● Vehicle is driven on a road surface which is slippery due to rainy weather,
fallen snow, freezing, etc.
● Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered 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 construction
work.
● Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
● A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.
● When the tires have been excessively worn, or when the tire inf lation pres-
sure is low.
● During emergency towing
■ Preventing  LTA  system  malfunctions  and  operations  performed  by
mistake
● Do  not  modify  the  headlights  or  place  stickers,  etc.  on  the  sur face  of  the

CAMRY_U●
If  the  orientation  of  a  sensor  has  been  changed  due  to  a  collis ion  or  other
impact
● When  equipment  that  may  obstruct  a  sensor  is  installed,  such  as  a towing
eyelet,  bumper  protector  (an  additional  trim  strip,  etc.),  bicy cle  carrier,  or
snow plow
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the car ried load
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as whe n the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
● When a tire chains or compact spare tire is used
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no  possibil-
ity of a collision
In  some  situations,  such  as  the  following,  the  system  may  opera te  even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
● When  driving  toward  a  banner,  flag,  low-hanging  branch  or  boom  barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parking lots)
● When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
● When  driving  on  a  metal  cover  (grating),  such  as  those  used  for   drainage
ditches
● When driving up or down a steep slope
● If  a  sensor  is  hit  by  a  large  amount  of  water,  such  as  when  dri ving  on  a
flooded road
● There  is  dirt,  snow,  water  drops  or  ice  on  a  sensor.  (Cleaning  the  sensors
will resolve this problem.)
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandst orm
● When  vehicle  horns,  vehicle  detectors,  motorcycle  engines,  air  brakes  of
