System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “
 SET” button 
  until the indicator blinks three times.
2.  Wait a few minutes to allow
  initialization to complete.
Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or repl\
aced, turn the 
ignition switch to “ON” and follow the steps above to reset the TP\
MS.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for ti\
re inflation 
specifications. 
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then\
 remains on, 
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
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 initialized 
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the 
light.

There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each\
 vehicle 
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy. 
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep\
 the mat in  place.
• Install floor mats right side up. 
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
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.
Star Safety System™
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
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.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
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 (BA)
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.
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
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.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
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 vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force\
 Distribution 
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Ve\
hicle Stability 
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations 
to these systems.
