SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
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.
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.
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Dist\
ribution (EBD),
Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Sta\
bility Control
(VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on
limitations to these systems.
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 control. \
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
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.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
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 ti\
lt forward,
reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden st\
ops by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\
our wheels.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\
BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\
on occurs
during a turn.
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 ho\
ur.
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.
