Driving
Through control state “warning 
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”, 
the system determines if the 
driver is aware and responsive 
while outputting a warning and 
controlling the vehicle speed. If 
the system determines the 
driver is not responsive, it will 
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold 
phase” and decelerate and stop 
the vehicle. It will then operate 
continuously in “stop hold 
phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system opera tes when all of 
the following cond itions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is 
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) 
or more
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system 
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been 
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise 
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are 
detected (the steering wheel is 
held, the brake pedal, accelerator 
pedal, parking brake, hazard light 
switch, or turn sig nal lever is oper-
ated)
●When the driving assist switch is 
pressed while in the stop and hold 
phase
●When the engine switch has been 
turned from ON to off
●Situations in whic h some or all of 
the functions of the system cannot  operate: 
P. 1 6 6
■LTA control when operation is 
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not 
detected after the hands off 
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the system will judge if the driver 
is responsive or not. If driving 
operations, such as holding the 
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount 
of time, the system will enter 
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, 
a buzzer will sound in short 
intervals and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such 
as holding the steering wheel, 
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system 
will determine that the driver is 
not responsive and enter the 
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted 
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerating,

the brake lights may illuminate, 
depending on the road conditions, 
etc.
After entering the deceleration 
stop phase, a buzzer will sound 
continuously and a message will 
be displayed to warn the driver, 
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle 
stops, the system will enter the 
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the 
parking brake will be applied 
automatically. After entering the 
stop and hold phase, the buzzer 
will continue sounding continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to 
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.

RSA (Road Sign 
Assist)*
The RSA system detects 
specific road signs using 
the front camera and/or nav-
igation system (when speed 
limit information is avail-
able) and warns the driver 
via displays and buzzers.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attent ion to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely so lely upon the 
RSA. The RSA assists the 
driver by providing road sign 
information, but it is not a 
replacement for the driver’s own 
vision and awareness. Driving 
safely is solely the responsibility 
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe 
driving.
■Situations in which the RSA 
should not be used
●When it is necessary to disable 
the system:  P.161
■Situations in which the sys-
tem may not ope rate properly
●Situations in which the sensors 
may not operate properly:

■Sounds and vibrations caused 
by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, 
TRAC and hill-start assist con-
trol systems
●A sound may be heard from the 
engine compartment when the 
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or 
just after the vehicle begins to 
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a mal function has 
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions 
may occur when the above sys-
tems are operating. None of these 
indicates that a malfunction has 
occurred.
• Vibrations may be  felt through the 
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also  after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■Active Cornering Assist opera-
tion sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is 
operated, operation sounds and 
vibrations may be generated from 
the brake system, but this is not a 
malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sound (whirring 
sound) may be heard. This does not 
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC 
and VSC systems

WARNING
■Active Cornering Assist does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active 
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate 
effectively when accelerating 
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist 
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily 
stop operating to ensure proper 
operation of the brakes, TRAC 
and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start 
assist control. Hill-start assist 
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and 
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, 
hill-start assist control is not 
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary for an extended period 
of time. Do not attempt to use 
hill-start assist control to hold 
the vehicle on an incline, as 
doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRAC/VSC is acti-
vated
The slip indicator light flashes. 
Always drive carefully. Reckless 
driving may cause an accident. 
Exercise particular care when the 
indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems 
are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at 
a speed appropriate to the road 
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn 
the TRAC/VSC systems off 
unless necessary.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Sec-
ondary Collision Brake. This sys-
tem is designed to help reduce 
the possibility of  further damage 
due to a secondary collision, how-
ever, that effect changes accord-
ing to various conditions. Overly 
relying on the system may result 
in death or serious injury.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the 
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In 
addition, make sure that the tires 
are inflated to the recommended 
tire inflation p ressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-
tems will not functi on correctly if 
different tires are installed on the 
vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther information when replacing 
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension 
will affect the driving assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to 
malfunction. 

2314-6. Driving tips

Driving
Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
 Turn automatic mode of the 
parking brake off. Otherwise,  the parking brake may freeze 
and not be able to be 
released automatically.
Also, avoid using the following as 
the parking brake may operate 
automatically, even if automatic 
mode is off.
• Brake hold system
Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift lever to P without setting 
the parking brake. The park-
ing brake may freeze up, pre-
venting it from being released. 
If the vehicle is parked without 
setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the 
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause 
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an 
accident.
 When the parking brake is in 
automatic mode, release the 
parking brake after shifting 
the shift lever to P. ( P.142)
 If the vehicle is parked without 
setting the parking brake, 
confirm that the shift lever 
cannot be moved out of P.
 If the vehicle is left parked 
with the brakes damp in cold 
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.

2606-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, 
liberally apply water to the 
vehicle body, wheel wells and 
underside of the vehicle to 
remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using 
a sponge or soft cloth, such 
as a chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, 
use car wash soap and rinse 
thoroughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the 
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.
If water does not bead on a clean 
surface, apply wax when the vehi-
cle body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing 
the vehicle. Start washing from the 
front of the vehicle. Make sure to 
extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car 
washes may scratch the vehicle 
surface, parts (wheel, etc.) and 
harm your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automatic car washes, 
the rear spoiler ma y interfere with  machine operation. This may pre-
vent the vehicle from being 
cleaned properly or result in dam-
age to the r
ear spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do 
not bring the nozzle tip near the 
gaps around the doors or perimeter 
of the windows, or spray these 
areas continuously.
■When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within the 
effective range, the door may lock 
and unlock repeatedly. In that case, 
follow the following correction pro-
cedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 
m) or more separate from the 
vehicle while the vehicle is being 
washed. (Take care to ensure that 
the key is not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.103)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●Remove any dirt immediately by 
using a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water 
immediately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, 
make sure to obs erve the follow-
ing precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or  abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the  wheels when they  are hot, such 
as after driving or parking in hot 
weather
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if  the vehicle is 
parked with wet brake pads or disc 
rotors, causing them to stick. Before 
parking the vehicle after it is 
washed, drive slo wly and apply the 
brakes several times to dry the 
parts.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle exte-
rior
Perform cleaning in a man-
ner appropriate to each 
component and its material.
