When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
a bridge

While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal

Situations in which the curve speed reduction function may not operate
properly

In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may
not operate properly:

When the vehicle is being driven around a curve on an incline/decline

When the course of the vehicle differs from the shape of the curve

When the vehicle speed is excessively high when entering a curve

ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake System)

The electronically controlled system generates braking force corre-
sponding to the brake operation

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces.

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controlling steering performance.

Secondary Collision Brake

When the airbag sensor detects a collision and the system oper-
ates, the brakes and stop lights are automatically controlled to
reduce the vehicle speed and help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary collision

TRAC

(Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehi-
cle.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC,
and hill-start assist control systems

A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.

Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.

ECB operating sound

ECB operating sound may be heard in the following cases, but it does not
indicate that a malfunction has occurred.

Operating sound heard from engine compartment when the brake pedal is
operated.

Motor sound of the brake system heard from the front part of the vehicle
when the driver’s door is opened.

Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when one or two min-
utes passed after the stop of the hybrid system.

Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati-
cally re-enabled in the following situations:

When the power switch is turned off

If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases

Secondary Collision Brake operating conditions

The system operates when the SRS airbag sensor detects a collision while
the vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not operate in any of the following situations.

The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)

Components are damaged

Secondary Collision Brake automatic cancellation

The Secondary Collision Brake is automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations:

The vehicle speed drops below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)

A certain amount of time elapses during operation

The accelerator pedal is depressed a large amount

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system

The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

The ABS does not operate effectively when

The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).

The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.

Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions

The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:

When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads

When driving with tire chains

When driving over bumps on the road

When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces

TRAC/VSC may not operate effectively when

Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.

Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when

Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.

Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may
lead to an accident.

When the TRAC/ABS/VSC is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.

When the TRAC/VSC systems are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not overly rely solely upon the Secondary Collision Brake. This system
is designed to help reduce the possibility of further damage due to a sec-
ondary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.

Handling of tires and the suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

The BSM function uses radar sensors to detect the following vehicles
traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is usually not reflected in
the outside rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.

Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the out-
side rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that are
not visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.

The range of the detection area extends to:

Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of
the vehicle

The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side
of the vehicle cannot be detected

Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear bumper

The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected
vehicle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the out-
side rear view mirror indicator to illuminate or flash

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the BSM function.
The function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over reli-
ance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
