Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)(if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in decision-making when 
changing lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up) 
The Blind Spot Monitor function uses radar sensors to detect vehicles th\
at are 
traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the o\
utside rear 
view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of the vehicles e\
xistence via the 
outside rear view mirror indicator.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system
before attempting to use it.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert buzzer
Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bump\
er 
of the rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor sy\
stem is 
located above the license plate. 
To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “SETUP\
” button 
and select “Display” on the “Setup” screen.  Select “Came\
ra” to adjust the 
screen contrast and brightness.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.
FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Bluetooth® technology allows dialing or receipt of calls without taking hands from\
 
the steering wheel or using a cable to connect the compatible telephone \

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower and 
applying brake force to selected wheels. 
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
s traveling. 
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC\
 reduces 
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore \
traction 
and vehicle control.
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressu\
re to each 
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control fo\
r the current 
road conditions. 
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup 
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure 
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that 
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking 
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split 
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than 
just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower, and 
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, o\
r uneven 
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s). 
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\
ts to slip. 
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \
This 
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \
on track.
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help 
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehi\
cle to tilt 
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to \
sudden 
stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness\
 of all four 
wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, whi\
ch 
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), A\
nti-lock Braking 
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assis\
t (BA) and 
Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on 
limitations to these systems.
