NOTICE
■When encountering flooded roads 
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may 
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle: 
● Engine stalling 
● Short in electrical components 
● Engine damage caused by water immersion 
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be 
sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer check the following: 
● Brake function 
● Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, hybrid 
transmission, etc. 
● Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi- 
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc. 
If the shift control system is damaged by flooding, it may not be possible to 
shift the shift position to P, or from P to other positions. When the shift posi- 
tion cannot be changed from P to any other position, the front wheels will
lock, and you will be unable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the 
ground. In this case, transport the vehicle with both front wheels or all four 
wheels lifted. ( P. 572)

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
While driving on a road with clear white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA 
system warns the driver if the vehicle may deviate from the current 
lane or course*, and also can slightly operate the steering wheel to 
help avoid deviation from the lane or course*. Also, while the dynamic 
radar cruise control with full-speed range is operating, this system will 
operate the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane position. 
The LTA system recognizes white 
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles 
using the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the 
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
