Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force D\�istribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Ve\�hicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
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 (BA)
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.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\�) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops \�by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\�our wheels.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\�rator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\�pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\� per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\�ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\� rolling
backward.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\�BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\�on occurs
during a turn.
