■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel and the symbol shown in
the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display to warn the
driver. The warning stops when the sys-
tem determines that the driver holds the
steering wheel. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines the
driver is not holding the steering
wheel while the lane centering func-
tion is operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and
the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may deviate from the lane
while driving around a curve while the
lane centering function is operating.Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering
wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the
buzzer sounds and the driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con-
tinuing time of the buzzer becomes lon-
ger.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system determines that the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle
sway warning function is operating, a
buzzer sounds and a warning message
urging the driver to rest and the symbol
shown in the illustration are simultane-
ously displayed on the multi-information
display.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-
ditions, the warning may not operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information display
and the LTA indicator illuminates in
orange, follow the appropriate trouble-
shooting procedure. Also, if a different
warning message is displayed, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen.
●“LTA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer”

erly. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled due
to a malfunction in a sensor other than
the front camera. Turn the LTA system
off, wait for a little while, and then turn
the LTA system back on.
●“LTA Unavailable at Current Speed”
The function cannot be used as the
vehicle speed exceeds the LTA opera-
tion range. Drive slower.
■Customization
Function settings can be changed. ( P.206, 217)
*: If equipped
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or naviga-
tion system (when speed limit
information is available) to pro-
vide information to the driver
via the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over the
speed limit, performing prohib-
ited actions, etc. according to
the recognized road signs, it
notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notifica-
tion buzzer or steering wheel
vibration.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.

3725-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator
will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the
cruise control.If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or
more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. (P.377)

Setting the vehicle speed
(vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode)

3765-5. Using the driving support systems
When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
Immediately after the cruise con-
trol speed was set
When depressing the accelerator
pedal
While driving in vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode, this function
will reduce the vehicle speed, if it is
determined to be necessary.
■Function operation
When the steering wheel begins to
be turned, the vehicle speed will
begin being reduced. When the
steering wheel is returned to the
center position, the vehicle speed
reduction will end.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle speed will then return to the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode set speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control needs to oper-
ate, such as when a preceding
vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle,
the curve speed reduction function
will be canceled.
■Operation display
Vehicles with 7-inch multi-infor-
mation display
Vehicles with 12.3-inch multi-
information display
Displayed when the vehicle speed
is being reduced.
When the vehicle speed reduction
ends, the display will disappear.
■Changing the settings of the
curve speed reduction func-
tion
The curve speed reduction func-
tion can be enabled/disabled and
the vehicle speed reduction
strength can be adjusted on the
screen (P.199, 211) of the multi-
information display.
The setting will change each time the
meter control switches is pressed.
