●Do not attach stickers (including
transparent stickers) or other
items to the area of the wind-
shield in front of the front cam-
era (shaded area in the
illustration).

Approximately 1.6 in. (4 cm)
●If the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera is
fogged up or covered with con-
densation or ice, use the wind-
shield defogger to remove the
fog, condensation, or ice.
●If water droplets cannot be
properly removed from the area
of the windshield in front of the
front camera by the windshield
wipers, replace the wiper insert
or wiper blade.
●Do not attach win dow tint to the
windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is
damaged or cracked.
If the windshield has been
replaced, recalib ration of the
front camera will be necessary.
For details, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not allow liquids to contact
the front camera.
●Do not allow bright lights to
shine into the front camera.
●Do not damage th e lens of the
front camera o r allow it to
become dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, do not allow glass
cleaner to contact the lens of
the front camera. Do not touch
the lens of the front camera.
If the lens of the front camera is
dirty or damaged, contact your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not subject the front camera
to a strong impact.
●Do not change the position or
orientation of the front camera
or remove it.
●Do not disassemble the front
camera.
●Do not modify any parts around
the front camera , such as the
inside rear view mirror or ceil-
ing.
●Do not attach accessories
which may obstruct the front
camera to the hood, front grille,
or front bumper. For details,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●If a surfboard or other long
object is to be mounted on the
roof, make sure that it will not
obstruct the front camera.
●Do not modify or change the
headlights and other lights.
■Front camera installation area
on the windshield
If the system determines that the
windshield may be fogged up, it
will automatically operate the
heater to defog t he part of the
windshield aroun d the front cam-
era. When cleaning, etc., be care-
ful not to touch the area around
the front camera until the wind-
shield has cooled sufficiently, as
touching it may cause burns.

may not operate properly
●In certain situations, such as the
following, a detectable object may
not be detected by the front sen-
sors, and the system may not
operate properly:

approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sud-
den swerving, acceleration or
deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
• When the detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, man-
hole cover, steel plate on the road
surface, or another vehicle

• When part of a detectable object is hidden by another object (large
luggage, umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
• When multiple det ectable objects
are overlapping

When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on a display,
and either a warning buzzer will
sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
Check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane or course

Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane, the lane de parture alert will
operate even if the turn signals are
operating.

vides assistance through steer-
ing wheel operations to help
avoid deviation from the lane or

If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, a warning message
may be displayed and a warning
buzzer may sound to alert the
driver.

Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill, the set vehicle
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising:
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration:
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off:
If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (contr olled
stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES”
switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-u p
cruising (start off operation). If a start off operation is not per-
