assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
operates under the assumption 
that the driver will drive safely, 
and is designed to help reduce 
the impact to the occupants in a 
collision and assist the driver 
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not ov erly rely on this 
system. The driver is solely 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s surroundings and 
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not 
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited. 
Over-reliance on this system to 
drive the vehicle safely may 
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may 
not operate properly, possibly 
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while 
performing driving operations or 
a system malfunction occurs, a 
warning message or warning 
buzzer will be operated. If a 
warning message is displayed 
on the display, follow the 
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise, 
the volume of the audio system, 
etc. it may be difficult to hear the 
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it 
may be difficult to recognize the 
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system
In the following si tuations, make 
sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the 
system not operating properly, 
possibly leading to an accident 
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to 
being overloaded or having a 
flat tire
●When driving at extremely high 
speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train, 
etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a

only when being ridden.
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines 
that the possibility of a collision 
is high, a buzzer will sound and 
an icon and warning message 
will be displayed on the 
multi-information display to urge 
the driver to take evasive action.
If the detectable object is a vehi-
cle, moderate braking will be 
performed with the warning.
If the system determines that 
the accelerator pedal is strongly 
depressed, the following icon 
and message will be displayed 
on the multi-information display.
■Pre-collision brake assist
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a collision is 
high and the brake operation by 
the driver is insufficient, the 
braking power will be increased.
■Pre-collision brake control
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a collision is 
extremely high, the brakes are 
automatically applied to help 
avoid the collision or reduce the 
impact of the collision.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that 
the following conditions are met, 
assistance will be provided to 
help enhance vehicle stability 
and prevent lane departure. 
During assistance, in addition to 
the pre-collision warning, the fol-
lowing icon will be displayed on 
the multi-information display.

WARNING
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking 
function is operating, a large 
amount of braking force will be 
applied.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion is not designed to hold the 
vehicle stopped. If the vehicle is 
stopped by pre-collision brake 
control, the driver should oper-
ate the brakes immediately as 
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain 
operations 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 taking evasive 
action and possibly prevent the 
pre-collision braking function 
from operating.
●If the brake pedal is being 
depressed, the system may 
determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly 
delay the operation timing of the 
pre-collision brake control.
■Acceleration Suppression at 
Low Speed
If the steering wheel is being 
turned, the system may determine 
that the driver is taking evasive 
action and possibly prevent the 
Acceleration Suppression at Low 
Speed function from operating or 
possibly causing its operation to 
be canceled.
■Emergency steering assist
●The emergency steering assist 
will be canceled when the sys-
tem determines that lane depar-
ture prevention control has 
completed.
●Depending on operations per-
formed by the driver, emer-
gency steering assist may not 
operate or operation may be 
canceled.
• If the accelerator pedal is  depressed strongly, the steering 
wheel is turned heavily, the 
brake pedal is depressed, or the 
turn signal lever  is operated, the 
system may determine that the 
driver is taking evasive action 
and the emergency steering 
assist may n ot operate.
• While the emergency steering  assist is operating, if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed 
strongly, the steering wheel is 
turned heavily, or the brake 
pedal is depressed, the system 
may determine that the driver is 
taking evasive action and emer-
gency steering assist operation 
may be canceled.
• While the emergency steering  assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held or turned in the 
opposite direction of system 
operation, emergency steering 
assist operation will be can-
celed.

●In addition to the preceding, in 
certain situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the emergency steering 
assist may not operate properly:
• When a detectable object is too  close to the vehicle
• When there is insufficient space to 
perform evasive  steering maneu-
vers or an obstruction exists in the 
evasion direction
• When there is an oncoming vehi- cle

WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA 
system. The LTA system is not a 
system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and 
it is not a system which reduces 
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe drivi ng. The driver 
is solely responsible for paying 
attention to their surroundings 
and operating the steering 
wheel as necessary to ensure 
safety. Also, the driver is 
responsible for taking adequate 
breaks when fatigued, such as 
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate 
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an 
accident.
●When not using the LTA system, 
turn it off using the LTA switch. 

2104-5. Using the driving support systems
the following conditions are met:
●The LTA system detects lane lines 
or the path of preceding or sur-
rounding vehicles.
●The dynamic radar cruise control 
is operating.
●The lane width is approximately 
10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m).
●The turn signal le ver is not being 
operated.
●The vehicle is not being driven 
around a sharp curve.
●The vehicle is not accelerating or 
decelerating more than a certain 
amount.
●The steering wheel is not being 
turned with a large force.
●The hands off steering wheel 
warning ( P.210) is not operat-
ing.
●The vehicle is being driven in the 
center of a lane.
■Temporary cancelation of func-
tions
●When the operating conditions are 
no longer met, a function may be 
temporarily canceled. However, 
when the operation conditions are 
met again, operation of the func-
tion will automatically be restored. 
(  P.209)
●If the operating conditions of a 
function are no longer met while 
the function is operating, a buzzer 
may sound to indicate that the 
function has been temporarily 
canceled.
●The steering assist operation of 
the function can be overridden by 
the steering wheel operation of 
the driver.
■Lane departure warning func-
tion when the LTA is operating
●Even if the LDA warning method is 
changed to vibration of the steer-
ing wheel, if the vehicle deviates 
from the lane while the LTA is 
operating, the warning buzzer will  sound to aler
t the driver.
●If steering wheel operation equiv-
alent to that necessary for a lane 
change is detected, the system 
will determine the vehicle is not 
deviating from the lane and the 
warning will not operate.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
●When the system determines the 
driver is not hold ing the steering 
wheel, a message urging the 
driver to grip the steering wheel 
and the icon shown  in the illustra-
tion will be dis played on the 
multi-information display to warn 
the driver. If the system detects 
that the steering wheel is held, the 
warning will be canceled. When 
using the system, make sure to 
grip the steering wheel firmly, 
regardless of whether the warn-
ing is operating or not.
●If no operations are detected for a 
certain amount of time, the warn-
ing will operate and the function 
will be temporarily canceled. This 
warning may also  operate if the 
driver only operates steering 
wheel a small amount continu-
ously.
■Situations in which the hands 
off steering wheel warning may 
not operate properly
●Depending on the condition of the 
vehicle,handle control condition 
and road surface, the warning 
function may not operate.
