WARNING
Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. LDA is not a system which auto-
matically drives the vehicle or reduces the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by always paying careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions and operate the steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, make sure to take adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.
Preventing LDA system malfunctions and operations performed by
mistake
Do not modify the headlights or place stickers, etc., on the surface of the
4
lights.
Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be
replaced, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a
grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
304
4-5. Toyota Safety Sense
In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to
remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.

309
Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
The front sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the front sensor.
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front sensor.
The sign is small, dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the
contrast is poor.
All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
The sign is only visible to the front sensor for a short amount of time.
The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
4
merging.
Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the front sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
Navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the Navigation sys-
tem using map data.
