The new Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
package adds technologies
and capabilities that enhance
protection for drivers, passengers,
and others who share the road.
One example of these new capabilities
is the addition of the Lane Tracing Assist feature.
The Lane Tracing Assist feature can
only be activated when Full Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
is in operation,
and is not available on models equipped
with a manual transmission.
The benefit of this feature is to help
reduce driver fatigue and support
safe driving,
especially in traffic congestion
or long highway trips.
Lane Tracing Assist operates by
making use of both the camera
that is centered at the top of the windshield
and the millimeter-wave radar
located at the front of the vehicle.
These two pieces of equipment
recognize white and yellow
lane markings, or the path of a
preceding vehicle if lane markers
are temporarily not available.
By doing so, the vehicle can
identify and actively track
the center of the lane when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
is activated by providing
steering assistance to the driver,
even on curved roads.
When in use, the Lane Tracing Assist feature
can be identified by two new blue lines
that are located outside of
the pre-existing white lane markers
shown on the Multi-Information Display.
If lane markers are not clearly visible,
the system will also operate
by tracking the path of the preceding vehicle ahead.
This operation can be identified
by 3 white dots appearing
in the MID display
instead of blue lines.
It is important to note that both
the Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert adjustments
are incorporated together within
the same MID menu labelled as LTA,
but can be used separately.
Within the LTA menu located in the MID display,
both the Lane Centering and
Steering Assist functions must
be set to ON for the
Lane Tracing Assist feature to be activated.
In order for the Lane Departure Alert
with Steering Assist feature to be activated,
only the Steering Assist function must be set to ON.
When the Lane Departure Alert system
activates steering assist,
you will notice that the blue LTA lines
will appear on either side of the vehicle
where steering assist is being applied.
If both Lane Centering and Steering Assist
are turned off,
the Lane Departure Alert feature will still
provide audible and visual alerts
if the system is enabled by the steering wheel controls.
On and off capability of these features
is controlled by the LDA button
located on the steering,
this button will enable and disable both
the Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert feature.
The Lane Departure Assist symbol
located within the MID
also indicates which feature is activated.
When the symbol is illuminated in green
the Lane Tracing Assist feature is active,
when illuminated in white,
the Lane Departure System in active.
If no symbol is visible,
both systems have been disabled.
The Lane Tracing Assist feature
is not a replacement for safe driving practices,
and as such if the driver removes
both hands from the steering wheel
the Lane Tracing Assist system will
automatically deactivate.
