SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
If belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly, it cannot be re-extended 
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help hold 
child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child restraint 
system, refer to the  Owner’s Manual.

If the Tire Pressure Warning indicator “” illuminates without blinking, adjust 
tire pressures to factory-specified levels.* The light will turn off after a few 
minutes. The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes 
in tire pressure from natural air leakage.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains 
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
Refer to the  Owner’s Manual  for more details.

Star Safety SystemTM
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, 
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occurs 
during a turn.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each 
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the 
current road conditions. 
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup 
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure 
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that 
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control. 
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 quickly 
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing Hybrid System 
output, and Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, 
or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s). 
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip. 
TRAC limits Hybrid System 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.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help 
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle 
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.
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES 
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, 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).
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle 
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy. 
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, 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 driving torque when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
Smart Stop Technology (SST)
