Loss of grip of the front wheels
which can lead to understeer.
Driving stability during acceleration
and cornering is restricted if VSC is
deactivated.
To assist driving stability, re-acti-
vate VSC as soon as possible.
VSC OFF is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster when VSC is deacti-
vated. Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your personal responsibility to assess
the traffic situation correctly. Due to
system limitations, it cannot respond
independently and appropriately in all
traffic conditions. There is a danger of
accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the
traffic situation and intervene actively
if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
When driving with a roof load, for
example with a roof rack, the higher
centre of gravity can mean that driv-
ing safety is no longer guaranteed in
critical driving situations. There is a
danger of accidents or damage to
property. Do not deactivate Vehicle
Stability Control VSC when driving
with a roof load.

When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC operates,
it cannot operate sufficiently to avoid a
possible dangerous situation. The
driver is solely responsible for under-
standing their surroundings and driving
at a safe speed.
Traction mode is a variant of Vehi-
cle Stability Control VSC and is
optimised for forward momentum.
In special road conditions, for
example roads on which snow has
not been cleared or on a loose sur-
face, the system ensures maximum
forward momentum but with some-what limited driving stability.
Activating Traction mode provides
maximum traction. Driving stability
during acceleration and cornering is
limited.
Activating Traction mode briefly
may be useful in the following situa-
tions:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered roads.
Starting in deep snow or on a
loose surface.
Driving with snow chains.
If the indicator lamp is flash-
ing: VSC is regulating the
acceleration and braking
forces.
If the indicator lamp is illumi-
nated: VSC has failed.

When Traction mode is activated,
TRACTION is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
In certain situations, VSC is acti-
vated automatically:
If Adaptive Cruise Control with
Stop&Go function ACC is acti-
vated.In the event of a braking inter-
vention by the Toyota Supra
Safety Systems.
In the event of a flat tyre.
The active differential steplessly
locks the rear axle depending on
the driving conditions. This pro-
vides optimal power transfer in all
driving conditions by helping pre-
vent wheel spin at either rear
wheel.
The driver is responsible for a driv-
ing style appropriate to the situa-
tion. Activate/deactivate Traction

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The system can be used to set a
speed limit so that speed restric-
tions are not exceeded.
The system enables speeds from a
value of 30 km/h/20 mph and above
to be set as a speed limit. Below
the set speed limit, the vehicle can
be driven without restriction.The current speed is adopted as
the speed limit.
When switching on at a standstill or
driving at low speed, 30 km/h/20
mph is set as the speed limit.
When activating the speed limit it is
possible that Vehicle Stability Con-
trol VSC will be switched on and
the drive mode switched to NOR-
MAL.

example:
When switching the engine off.
When switching on Cruise Con-
trol.
When activating sport mode
using the sport mode switch.
The displays turn off.
The system is interrupted when
reverse gear is engaged or the
transmission is in neutral.
Press the rocker switch repeatedly
upwards or downwards until the
desired speed limit is set.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance point,
the speed limit is increased or
decreased by 1 km/h, 1 mph.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed beyond the resistance
point, the speed limit changes to
the next multiple of 10 km/h on
the km/h display or the next mul-
tiple of 5 mph on the mph display in the speedometer.
If the set speed limit has been
reached or unintentionally
exceeded, for example when driv-
ing downhill, there is no active
brake intervention.
If you set a speed limit while driving
which is below the current speed,
the vehicle coasts down to the set
speed limit.
Vehicles with Speed Limit Assist,
see page 234: a change in the
speed limit detected by Speed Limit
Assist can be adopted for the
Speed Limiter as a new speed limit.
The current speed can also be
stored by pressing the button:
The system gives a warning if the
travelling speed exceeds the set
speed limit.
You can intentionally exceed the
speed limit. There is no warning in
such a case.
To exceed the set speed limit inten-
tionally, fully depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
The limit automatically becomes
active again as soon as the current
speed falls below the set speed
limit. Interrupting

Depending on the vehicle specifica-
tions, the set speed limit will be dis-
played.
This system allows a desired speed
to be set using the buttons on the
steering wheel. The desired speed
is then maintained by the system.
To do this, the system automatically
accelerates and brakes the vehicle as necessary.
Depending on the vehicle settings,
the characteristics of the Cruise
Control may change. Warning when the speed limit
is exceeded
Visual warning
If the speed limit is exceeded:
the indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster flashes for
as long as you exceed the set

While the system is interrupted,
press the rocker switch up or down
once.
If the system is switched on, the
current speed is maintained and
stored as the desired speed.
The stored speed is displayed, see
page 225, on the speedometer.
Vehicle Stability Control VSC is

The speed can also be stored by
pressing the button.Press the rocker switch repeatedly
upwards or downwards until the
desired speed is set.
If the system is active, the dis-
played speed is stored and the
vehicle reaches the stored speed
when the road is clear.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance point,
the desired speed is increased or
decreased by 1 km/h, 1 mph.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed beyond the resistance
point, the desired speed
changes to the next multiple of
10 km/h on the km/h display or
the next multiple of 5 mph on the

The maximum speed which can be set
depends on the vehicle.
Pressing the rocker switch to the
resistance point and holding it
there accelerates or decelerates
the vehicle without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
The speed is maintained after releasing
the rocker switch. Pressing beyond the
