FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Intuitive parking assist
The parking assist sonar system operates when the vehicle approaches an \
obstacle. The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parall\
el parking
or maneuvering into a garage is measured by sensors and communicated via\
the
Multi-Information Display (MID) and a buzzer.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction and the approximate d\
istance
to the obstacle are displayed on the MID by illuminating continuously (\
far) or
blinking (near), and beeping sounds will switch from intermittent to c\
ontinuous as
you approach and get closer to a detected obstacle. When the sensors det\
ect two
or more obstacles, the audible alerts will respond to the nearest zone. \
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

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 v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\
le-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 dis\
tance
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 automaticall\
y
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 a\
head
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.

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 Ve\
hicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel 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 qui\
ckly than
just the driver alone can.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
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 f\
our wheels.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\
rator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied
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 acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling
backward.
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
s 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.
