Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly,
the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended
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.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
If tire pressure becomes critically low on any of the tires (excluding \
the spare),
“
” indicator will illuminate. Correctly adjusting tire inflation will \
turn off the light
after a few minutes. If the light does not turn off, have the system che\
cked by your
Toyota dealer.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

Star Safety System™
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.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.Your new Scion vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which
combines Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution \
(EBD), Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC), Brake Assist (BA) and an Anti-lock Braking \
System (ABS).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on limitations
to these systems.
