I rented a Toyota Forerunner on a recent trip to New Mexico. It was brand new, only 5 miles on it. There is a lane control button on pretty much every vehicle and I disable them when I drive. Same with this vehicle. I turned this one off.

However, this one didn't seem to want to "let go". I corrected me constantly. I would take a curve in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, in town, and it would micro-correct me to stay in lanes that weren't even striped. I constantly bumped me into the middle of lines on straightaways. If the lanes were ambiguous (and this is pretty much common in New Mexico) I had to fight the car occasionally.

I had a car enter my lane on a straightway in town and I swerved left to miss it, the car bumped me back into my lane and I almost hit the other car. Thankfully they corrected at the same moment my car did.

Of course, I told the person receiving the car after I returned it. He looked at me like I was speaking Klingon.

I have never had this much trouble with a car trying to correct me with the lane control button turned off.

maybe the rental agency has the disable turned off

Had to turn that crap off while in a rental RAV4, during a heavy rainstorm it kept trying to adjust left/right constantly with little corrections.

At least when I turned it off, it stayed off. The engine auto off, of course, had to be toggles every time.

We rented a 4-Runner a couple years ago in Montana and the lane departure warning would not turn off. I tried everything I could find. It was torture driving through Yellowstone and Grand Teton NP with that beeping.

Features for dummies who don't know how to drive.

Per the attached link (and owner's manual), you should have been able to adjust sensitivity and fully disable the LTA and LDA systems.

How To disable Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA) in the 2025 Toyota 4Runner[url=https://6thgen4runner.com/threads/2025-6th-gen-toyota-4runner-lane-tracing-assist-lta-lane-departure-alert-lda.636/#-how-to-disable-lane-tracing-assist-lta-and-lane-departure-alert-lda-in-the-2025-toyota-4runner][/url]

Via the Multi-Information Display:

• Navigate to the Settings menu on the multi-information display.
• Look for the Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA) settings.
• Toggle each system to Off to disable it.

Using the Steering Wheel Button:

• LTA and LDA can also be turned off by pressing the respective button on the steering wheel.
• The button to disable LTA and LDA is typically labeled with an icon of a lane or steering wheel.
• Press and hold the button to turn the system off. A message may appear on the multi-information display confirming that the system is deactivated.

[/ol]Note: Disabling LTA will stop the system from providing steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Disabling LDA will prevent the system from alerting you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane unintentionally.

My wife's 2022 Toyota Highlander has this and the system actually works pretty good if you know what to expect. It has both lane centering and lane departure. You can turn off lane centering only or both. You probably just have lane centering turned off.

With it on, it will pretty much steer itself as long as there are lines on both sides of the road and you're not in a sharp curve. When there is a turn lane to right and the line ends or moves over for example, it will pull right, so you have to hold the steering wheel firmly. When it approaches a sharp curve it will turn off and you have to steer through it. It takes some getting used to but is really nice on long interstate trips.
