The dimmed light in the exterior
mirror indicates when there are
vehicles in the blind spot or
approaching from behind.
If the turn signal is switched on
while a vehicle is in the critical
zone, the steering wheel
vibrates briefly and the light in
the exterior mirror flashes
brightly.
The warning stops when the
other vehicle has left the critical
area or after deactivation of the
turn signal.
A flashing of the light during
vehicle unlocking serves as sys-
tem self-test.If the vehicle speed exceeds
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h, the
system is deactivated temporar-
ily.
If the vehicle speed falls below
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h, the
system once again responds
according to the setting.

The system may not be fully
functional in the following situa-

The system is designed to oper-
ate in certain conditions and cir-
cumstances. Due to conditions or
other factors, the system may not
respond. There may be a risk of
accident or risk of damage to
property. Actively intervene as
needed. Refer to the information
in this Owner’s Manual regarding
the scope of the system’s opera-
tion and limitations.

In heavy fog, wet conditions,
or snowfall.
In tight curves or on narrow
lanes.
If the bumper is dirty, iced up,
or covered, for instance by
stickers.
After improperly performed
work on the vehicle paint.
If cargo protrudes.
A vehicle message is displayed
when the system is not fully
functional.
Depending on the selected
warning settings, e.g., warning
time, more or fewer warnings
can be displayed. However,
there may also be an excess of
premature warnings of critical
situations.
In the event of an accident, the
system can bring the vehicle to
a halt automatically without
intervention by the driver in cer-
tain situations. This can reduce
the risk of a further collision and
the consequences thereof.After coming to a halt, the brake
is released automatically.
It can be necessary to bring the
vehicle in certain situations to a
halt quicker.
To do this, for a short time the
braking pressure applied when
stepping on the brake pedal
must be higher than the braking
pressure achieved by the auto-
matic braking function. This
interrupts automatic braking.
It can be necessary to interrupt
automatic braking in certain situ-
ations, for instance for an eva-
sive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:
By pressing the brake pedal.
By pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can detect decreas-
ing alertness or fatigue of the
driver during long, monotonous
trips, for instance on highways.
In this situation, it is recom- Displaying warnings

mended that the driver takes a
break.
The system is switched on each
time drive-ready state is
switched on.
After travel has begun, the sys-
tem monitors certain aspects of
the driver's behavior, so that
decreasing alertness or fatigue
can be detected.
This procedure takes the follow-
ing criteria into account:
Personal driving style, for
instance steering behavior.
Driving conditions, for
instance length of trip.
Starting at approx. 43 mph/70
km/h, the system is active and
can also display a recommenda-
tion to take a break.The Driver attention control is
active automatically with each
switching on of drive-ready state
and can thus display a break
recommendation.
The break recommendation can
also be switched on or off and
adjusted via Toyota Supra Com-
mand.

"Standard": the break recom-
mendation is made with a
defined value.
"Sensitive": the break recom-
mendation is issued earlier.
"Off": no break recommenda-

If the driver becomes less alert
or fatigued, a message is dis-
played in the Control Display
with the recommendation to
take a break.
During the display, the following
settings can be selected:
"Do not ask again" Safety information
WA R N I N G
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing one's
physical state. An increasing lack
of alertness or fatigue may not be
detected or not be detected in
time. There is a risk of an acci-
dent. Make sure that the driver is
rested and alert. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions.

The break recommendation is

After a break, another recom-
mendation to take a break can-
not be displayed until after
approximately 45 minutes.
The function may be limited in
the following situations and may
be output an incorrect warning
or no warning at all.
When the clock is set incor-
rectly.
When the vehicle speed is
mainly below about 43
mph/70 km/h.
With a sporty driving style,
such as during rapid accelera-
tion or when cornering fast.
In active driving situations,
such as when changing lanes
frequently.
When the road surface is
poor.
In the event of strong side
winds.
The system is reset approx. 45
minutes after parking the vehi-
cle, for instance in the case of a
break during longer trips on
highways.This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
ABS prevents locking of the
wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steer-
ing power even during full brake
applications, which increases
the active safety.
ABS is operational every time
you start the engine.

not operate sufficiently:

excessively high rate of speed System limits

ates, it cannot operate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.
When you apply the brakes rap-
idly, the system automatically
produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces
the braking distance to a mini-
mum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the
capabilities provided by the Anti-
lock Brake System ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on
the brake pedal for the duration
of the emergency stop.
In combination with Dynamic
radar cruise control, this system
ensures that the brakes respond
even more rapidly when braking
in critical situations.This system supports driving off
on uphill grades.
1Hold the vehicle in place with
the foot brake.
2Release the foot brake and
drive off without delay.
After the foot brake is released,
the vehicle is held in place for
approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load-
ing, the vehicle may roll back
slightly.
Within the physical limits, the
system helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing
engine speed and by braking
the individual wheels.

When VSC is deactivated, driv-
ing stability is reduced during
acceleration and when driving in
curves.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC again as soon as
possible.
When VSC is deactivated, VSC
OFF is displayed in the instru-

WA R N I N G
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
conditions. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropri-
ate.
WA R N I N G
When driving with a roof load, for
instance with roof-mounted lug-
gage rack, the vehicle's center of
gravity is higher, which increases
the risk of the vehicle tipping in
critical driving situations. There is
a risk of accidents or risk of dam-
age to property. Do not deactivate

tem when driving with roof load.

Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized.The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.
When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.
When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.
When driving with snow
chains. Indicator/warning lights
