Activating the Automatic High Beam (AHB) system
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch tu\
rned to “AUTO” position, push lever away from you.
(2) Depress the Automatic High Beam “AUTO” switch. The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on
automatically to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off and the high beam indicator turns on.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted ev\
en slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-ex\
tended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to\
help hold
child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child re\
straint
system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Keep as low on
hips as possible
Take up slack

The Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS) provides advanc\
e warning in
the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
While the engine is in IGNITION ON mode, push and hold “
SET” button until the
indicator blinks three times. Wait a few minutes to allow initialization\
to
complete. The system displays the location and tire pressure for each ti\
re on the
MID.
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 in\
itialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should tu\
rn off the
light.

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.
Smart Stop Technology (SST)
Star Safety SystemTM
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.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Multi Terrain Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Brake Assist (BA)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if \
the brakes
are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-road con\
ditions (such
as rough roads, sand and mud).
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to 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. Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning whe\
n
starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
Active Traction Control (A-TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help
maintain stability and balance when braking. Abrupt stops cause the vehi\
cle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to \
sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to maximize the braking effectivenes\
s of all
four wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), A\
nti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Bra\
ke Assist (BA)
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
