The damper configurations are
assigned to the different drive
modes of the sport mode switch,
see page 149.
Performance Control increases the
agility of the vehicle.
Individual wheels are braked to
increase agility for a sporty driving
style. The resulting braking effect is
largely compensated for by a simul-
taneous engine control action.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 air quality in the vehicle is
improved by the following compo-
nents:
Emissions-tested interior.
Microfilter.
Air-conditioning system for regu-
lating temperature, air flow and
recirculated-air mode.
Automatic recirculated-air control
AUC.
Independent ventilation.

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.

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
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.
Safe braking
General
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.

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.

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.

Safety notes
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of
the vehicle. For example they could
come into contact with the bodywork
on account of their dimensional toler-
ances, despite having the same nomi-
nal size. There is a danger of
accidents. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels
and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type.
WARNING
Mounted steel wheels can lead to
technical problems, for example
wheel studs may work loose or brake
discs may be damaged. There is a
danger of accidents. Do not install
steel wheels.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations
impair the vehicle's handling charac-
teristics and interfere with the proper
functioning of various systems, such
as the Anti-lock Brake System or
Vehicle Stability Control. There is a
danger of accidents. To maintain good
vehicle handling, always fit tyres of
the same make and tread pattern to
all wheels. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels
and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type. After a tyre has been damaged,
refit the same wheel/tyre combination
as the original.

Supra Owner's Manual5-1. MOBILITY
In the event of a complete loss of
tyre inflation pressure, run-flat tyres
enable you to continue driving, with
certain restrictions.
The wheels are fitted with tyres
which are self-supporting to a lim-
ited degree. They may also have
special rims.
The reinforced side wall means that
the tyre keeps the vehicle mobile to
a degree even if tyre inflation pres-
sure has been lost.
Observe the notes on continuing to
drive with a flat tyre.The tyres are identified on the tyre's
side wall by RSC Runflat System
Component.
• Park the vehicle on a firm sur-
face and as far away from mov-
ing traffic as possible.
• Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
• Apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the vehicle rolling away.
• Engage the steering wheel lock
with the wheels in the
straight-ahead position.
• Have all vehicle occupants get
out of the vehicle and guide them
out of the danger area, for exam-
ple behind the crash barrier.
• Set up the warning triangle an
appropriate distance away.
Run-flat tyres
Principle
General
Safety notes
WARNING
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre infla-
tion pressure or no tyre inflation pres-
sure at all will change the vehicle's
handling characteristics, for example
there may be reduced directional sta-
bility when braking, longer braking
distances and different self-steering
characteristics. There is a danger of
accidents. Drive with care and do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
