System reset initialization
1.  Push and hold “    SET” button 
  un til the indicator blinks 
  th ree times.
2.  Wait  a few minutes to allow
  initial ization to complete.

Spare tire & tools
Tool location
Removing the spare tire
(1) Remove the luggage floor cover.
(2) Remove the tool tray.
(3) Loosen the center fastener that secures the spare tire.
Refer to the  Owner’s Manual  for tire changing and jack positioning procedures.

Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) 
System
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn 
the ignition switch to “ON” and press and hold the “
SET” button until indicator 
blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow initialization to 
complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the  Owner’s Manual for tire inflation 
specifications. 
If the  tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains 
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE:  The  warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes 
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized 
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the 
light.

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 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 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 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.
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.

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).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.
