ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD),
Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on
limitations to these systems.
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.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
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.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
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 four wheels.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
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.
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.
