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,

WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected
by a cable to the vehicle, for example
mobile telephones, may be flung
around the interior during the journey,
for example in an accident or during
braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury. Ensure
that loose objects or devices con-
nected by cable to the vehicle are
secured in place in the interior.

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. Safety note
WARNING
Fragile objects, for example glass
bottles or glasses, can break in the
event of an accident. Shards may
scatter throughout the interior. There
is a danger of injury or damage to
property. Do not use any fragile
objects while driving. Only stow fragile
objects in closed storage compart-
ments.
Cupholder
Safety note
WARNING
Unsuitable containers placed in the
cupholders may damage the cuphold-
ers or be flung into the interior, for
example in the event of an accident or
during braking or evasive manoeu-
vres. Spilt liquids can distract the
driver from the road and lead to an
accident. Hot beverages may damage
the cupholders or cause scalding.
There is a danger of injury or damage
to property. Do not force objects into
the cupholder. Use lightweight, seala-
ble containers that are shatterproof.
Do not transport hot drinks.
Boot
Vehicle equipment
Loads
Safety notes
WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make
the tyres to overheat, causing internal
damage and a sudden loss of tyre
inflation pressure. Handling charac-
teristics can be negatively influenced,
for example reduced directional sta-
bility, longer braking distance and
modified steering characteristics.
There is a danger of accidents.
Please comply with the permitted load
index of the tyre, and do not exceed
the permitted gross vehicle weight.
262
Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
Wrap protective material around
any sharp corners and edges on
the load.
Heavy transported loads: stow
as far forward and as low down as possible, ideally directly
behind the boot partition.
Small and lightweight trans-
ported loads: can be secured
with retaining straps, a luggage
net or other suitable straps.
Large and heavy transported
loads: secure with lashing straps.
Equipment for securing the trans-
ported load, for example lashing
straps, tensioning straps or luggage
nets, must be secured to the lash-
ing eyes in the boot.
Four lashing eyes are located in the
boot for securing the loads.
There is a bag holder on the left
and right side in the boot.
WARNING
If the permitted total weight and the
permitted axle loads are exceeded,
the operational safety of the vehicle is
no longer guaranteed. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Do not exceed the
permitted total weight and permitted
axle loads.
WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected
by a cable to the vehicle, for example
mobile telephones, may be flung
around the interior during the journey,
for example in an accident or during
braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury. Ensure
that loose objects or devices con-
nected by cable to the vehicle are
secured in place in the interior.
WARNING
Incorrectly stowed objects may slip or
be flung into the interior, for example
in an accident, during braking or eva-
sive manoeuvres. Vehicle occupants
could be struck and injured. There is
a danger of injury. Stow and secure
objects and the load correctly.

Brake discs and pads only achieve
their full effectiveness after approxi-
mately 500 km, 300 miles. Drive
moderately during this running-in
period.
Please comply with the running-in
procedures again if the compo-
nents previously referred to are
renewed.
The exhaust gas particle filter col-
lects soot particles. The soot parti-
cles are burned at high
temperatures to clean the exhaust
gas particle filter as necessary.
The cleaning process takes a few
minutes, during which the following
may occur:
Engine temporarily runs a bit
roughly.
A slightly higher engine speed is
required to achieve the usual
power output.
A small amount of smoke from
the exhaust, even after stopping
the engine. Brake system

General driving information
Closing the boot lid
Safety note
WARNING
When open, the boot lid protrudes
above the vehicle, and in the event of
an accident, braking or evasive
manoeuvres, it can endanger vehicle
occupants and other road users, or
damage the vehicle. Exhaust fumes
may also enter the passenger com-
partment. There is a danger of injury
or damage to property. Do not drive
with the boot lid open.
Hot exhaust system
WARNING
During vehicle operation, high tem-
peratures may occur under the vehi-
cle body, for example due to the
exhaust system. If flammable materi-
als, for example leaves or grass,
come into contact with hot parts of the
exhaust system, these materials can
catch fire. There is a danger of injury
or damage to property. Never remove
the heat shields fitted here or apply
under seal to them. Make sure that
when driving, idling or parking, no
flammable materials can come into
contact with hot vehicle parts. Do not
touch the hot exhaust system.

This situation, known as aquaplan-
ing, means that the tyre can actu-
ally lose contact completely with
the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered, nor the
brakes properly applied.
Please comply with the following
when driving through water:
Only drive through still water.
Only drive through water up to a
max. depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
Drive through water at a walking
speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3
mph.
The vehicle is equipped with the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS as
standard.
Perform full braking in situations that require it.
The vehicle remains steerable. Any
obstacles can be avoided by per-
forming steering movements as
smoothly as possible.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and
hydraulic regulating sounds indi-
cate that the Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem ABS is regulating.
In certain braking situations, the
perforated brake discs can cause
functional noise. However, func-
tional noises have no effect on the
efficiency and operational safety of
the brakes.
In damp weather, on gritted roads
and in heavy rain, apply the brakes
lightly every few kilometres/miles. Driving through water
General
Safety note
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep
water too fast can result in water
entering the engine compartment,
electrical system or transmission.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. When driving through water, do
not exceed the maximum water depth
and speed specified above.

Objects in the range of movement
of the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or block a
pedal that has been pressed. There is
a danger of accidents. Stow items in
the vehicle so that they are secure
and cannot get into the driver's
footwell. Only use floor mats that are
suitable for the vehicle and can be
securely fastened to the floor. Do not
use loose floor mats, and do not place
several floor mats on top of one
another. Make sure that there is suffi-
cient space for the pedals. Ensure
that floor mats are securely reat-
tached after having been removed, for
example for cleaning.
