FEATURES & OPERATIONS
All-Wheel Drive Lock (AWD models)
Push the switch to ensure that the engine torque is applied to the four wheels.
NOTE: Should ONLY be used when wheel spinning occurs on loose or
unpaved surfaces.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
If the sensors detect an obstacle, the buzzer and MID display informs the driver of
the approximate position and distance of the obstacle by illuminating continuously
(far) or blinking (near). Depending on your Entune™ Audio system, you can adjust
settings.
To turn system ON/OFF:
1) Press “
/”, “/” and “” of the meter control switches and select

Star Safety System™
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
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 quickly than
just the driver alone can.
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 vehicle 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), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction
Control (TRAC).
