cannot be prevented under all cir-
cumstances.
The function is available at speeds
below walking speed when driving
or rolling in reverse.
Pressing the accelerator pedal
interrupts the braking intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop,
it is possible to continue a slow
approach to the obstacle. To
approach, lightly depress the accel-
erator.
If the accelerator is depressed
more firmly, the vehicle pulls away
as normal. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.

Under the following conditions, the
system may issue a warning even
though there is no obstacle in the
detection range:
In heavy rain.
If the sensors are very soiled or
covered with ice.
If the sensors are covered with
snow.
On rough road surfaces.
On uneven surfaces, for exam-
ple speed bumps.
In large, rectangular buildings
with smooth walls, for example
underground car parks.
In washing bays and car washes.
Due to dense exhaust gases.
Due to other ultrasonic sources,
for example sweeping machines,
steam-jet cleaners or neon lights.
To reduce false alarms, for example
in automatic car washes, switch off,

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
DRIVING HINTS
Ensure that you do not obstruct
other road users when doing so.
The heat generated by braking
dries the brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
This way, brake power is available
immediately, whenever it is needed.
■General
When driving on long or steep
downhill stretches, use the gear in
which the least braking is required.
Otherwise the brake system can
overheat and the braking effect is
reduced.
Engine braking effect can be addi-
tionally increased by manually shift-
ing down, even into first gear, if
applicable.
■Safety notesCorrosion of the brake discs and
contamination of the brake pads
increase in the following circum-
stances:
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the vehi-
cle is not used.
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents.
Should corrosion form on the brake
discs, the brakes will tend to
respond with a judder effect that
generally cannot be eliminated.
When the automatic air condition-
ing is in operation, condensation
develops and exits underneath the
vehicle.
The higher mechanical and thermal
loads involved in driving on racing Downhill gradients
WARNING
Even slight continuous pressure on
the brake pedal can cause overheat-
ing, brake pad wear or even brake
system failure. There is a danger of
accidents. Avoid excessive loads on
the brake.
WARNING
When idling or with the engine
switched off, safety-relevant func-
tions are restricted or no longer avail-
able, for example the braking effect of
the engine or power assistance for
the braking force and steering. There
is a danger of accidents. Do not drive
at idle speed or with the engine
switched off.
