If you think it's dangerous, turn it off. It only takes 6 taps on the left hand steering wheel control.

You're kidding, right? Six taps every time you start the car? What next - maybe we'll be required to dance a waltz before we can drive off?

I'll tolerate yet another button press but I would reject the car if I had to go into the settings menu every time I wanted to drive it. I'm not owning a car that requires that much effort just to make it drivable.

People said that about wearing a seat belt, but look at them now.

I am not giving up and I will continue to report the LDA problem to Toyota, I hope that also you do not accept this system and will also send a complaint to Toyota

A seatbelt is easier to clip into place than navigating the settings menu. That's why I posted that I could accept a single button press.

I hear with a lot of GR Yaris owners, disabling iMT, stop start, and anti-lane drift just becomes part of the Turning On The Car rote muscle memory, like putting on the seat belt and turning the key/pushing the start button

Lol, todays cars may require a list check before driving off similar to passengers planes before take off procedures 🫢 checked ✈️

In my Toyota Corolla my23 it doesn't work like that, LTA is always deactivated, if you want to activate it you have to press the button near the steering wheel.

LDA on the other hand, even if Sta is off, is always active.

The only possibility is to temporarily deactivate it in the settings menu. 

Correct. In my earlier posting I was wrongly calling LDA LTA. You can only stop the annoying tug on the steering by turning off LDA via the settings menu on the left hand steering wheel array. (Centre button, bottom button, centre long press, centre short press, return, return.) Simples! Apologies for the confusion.

Toyota need to get a clue. My next car will not be a Toyota if that 'feature' is present.

Even with my old Tsport there is a procedure.

General look around outside of car, and kick tyres.

Turn ign key,press in clutch,old habit to save cranking against drag, start engine.

Lock doors all round in case of hijackers.

Turn on aftermarket dash cam in case of electric scooters whizzing across driveway exit.

Once engine is running smoothly, and plenty of charge from alternator,flip switch to engage relay for the large amp in the boot and bass boom Speakers.

Insert CD with "hood" music, such as " best of 70s disco hits" to make the car sound like an old escort van with someone in the back, kicking the sides out.

Then try and remember why the hell I got in the car in first place.

We were taught to switch everything to off.  Next aircraft we got in we knew how everything was set and would set things as we required.

What about your occasional foray into a hire car on holiday.  Steering wheel on the wrong side, media system in Spanish, no manual and seat and steering wheel settings for Quasimodo or the Incredible Hulk and departing into a local grand prix circuit?

Have they removed the ability to turn it off with the button?

On my Mk4, I can press the button to toggle the cruise control auto steer, or hold it down to turn off the anti-lane drift - No need to go through the setting menu, although I can do that too.

Tangential you have identified a problem.   As you upgraded from one version of car to the next you simply learnt about new fangled additions: drums to disks,  coils to contactless. 

Now you have to learn a whole vocabulary of acronyms and master a voluminous electronic manual and discover that features you used to use have mysteriously disappeared. 

In a younger life, one document said 'gates, corridors and tubes are no longer used'.*  Would that our car manual told us what they had removed.

*to he who knows what this is.  Clue, he will be over 80 or read a book due to be published before Christmas.
