* The “ENGINE START STOP” switch must be in “IGNITION ON” mode and the brake 
pedal depressed to shift from Park.
Shift the shift lever to “S” position from “D” position.  
+:  Upshift (push and release)
   
-: Downshift (pull and release)
Downshifting increases power going uphill, or provides engine braking downhill. 
For best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, always drive with the shift 
lever in the “D” position.

OVERVIEW FEATURES/OPERATIONS
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURESThere are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle 
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy. 
For safety, follow these steps:
•	 Only	use	floor	 mats	 designed	 for	your	 specific	 model.
•	 Use	 only	one	floor	 mat	at	a	time,	 using	the	retaining	 hooks	to	keep	 the	mat	 in	
place.
•	 Install	 floor	mats	 right	side	up.	
Floor mat installation
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator 
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions. 
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied 
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 accelerator pedal, 
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling 
backward.
Smart Stop Technology (SST)
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES 
Star Safety SystemTM
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and 
applying brake force to selected wheels. 
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is 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.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Multi Terrain Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Brake Assist (BA)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes 
are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-road conditions (such 
as rough roads, sand and mud). 
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking 
pressure to decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split 
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than 
just the driver alone can. Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning when 
starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
Active Traction Control (A-TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help 
maintain stability and balance when braking. Abrupt stops cause the vehicle to tilt 
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden 
stops by redistributing brake force to maximize the braking effectiveness of all 
four wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which 
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock 
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) 
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
