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-ma\
king 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 that 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 more details on this system before attempting
to use it.
System ON/OFF 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 more details on this system.

Multi-Information display
Push “meter control switches” to change information in the followi\
ng:
(1) Drive information
(2) Navigation system linked display
(3) Audio system linked display
(4) Dynamic radar cruise control*
(5) LDA (Lane Departure Alert) status*
(6) Warning messages
(7) Settings display
(8) TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)*
When a high possibility of a frontal collision is detected by the radar \
sensor, a
buzzer sounds and a message urging the driver to take evasive action app\
ears
on the multi-information display. If the driver then applies brakes, th\
e system
applies greater brake force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, th\
e brakes
are automatically applied to reduce the collision speed.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.
Pre-Collision System (PCS) (if equipped)
* If equipped

26
The Lane Departure Alert recognizes the visible lane markers using a cam\
era as a
sensor and alerts the driver with beeping and flashing indicators when t\
he vehicle
deviates from its lane. Press the LDA switch to activate the system.
Refer to the
Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.

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)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressu\
re 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 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 quickly
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, 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 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.
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 vehi\
cle
to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD resp\
onds to
sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effect\
iveness 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), A\
nti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Bra\
ke Assist (BA)
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
