Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)(if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in decision-making when
changing lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
The Blind Spot Monitor function uses radar sensors to detect vehicles th\
at are
traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the o\
utside rear
view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of the vehicles e\
xistence via the
outside rear view mirror indicator.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system
before attempting to use it.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert buzzer
Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bump\
er
of the rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor sy\
stem is
located above the license plate.
To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “SETUP\
” button
and select “Display” on the “Setup” screen. Select “Came\
ra” to adjust the
screen contrast and brightness.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.
FEATURES/OPERATIONS

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.
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressu\
re to each
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control fo\
r the current
road conditions.
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 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. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, o\
r uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\
ts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \
This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \
on track.
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehi\
cle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to \
sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness\
of all four
wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, whi\
ch
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), A\
nti-lock Braking
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assis\
t (BA) and
Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on
limitations to these systems.
