The dimmed light in the exterior
mirror indicates when vehicles are
in the blind spot or are approaching from the rear.
If the turn indicator is switched on
while a vehicle is in the critical area,
the steering wheel vibrates briefly
and the light in the exterior mirror
flashes brightly.
The warning is terminated when the
other vehicle has left the critical
area or the turn signal is deacti-
vated.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the
system performs a self-test by
flashing the light.
At speeds over approx. 250 km/h,
155 mph, the system is temporarily
disabled.

155 mph, the system once again
responds according to the setting.
The system may have limited func-
tionality in the following situations,
for example:
If the speed of the approaching
vehicle is significantly higher
than the driver's own speed.
In thick fog, wet conditions or
snow.
On sharp bends or narrow roads.
If the bumper is dirty, iced up or
covered, for example by stickers.
When a projecting load is being
transported.
A vehicle message is displayed in
the event of limited functionality.
Depending on the selected setting
for warnings, for example the warn-
ing time, it is possible for more
warnings to be displayed. As a
result, there may be an increased
number of premature warnings
about critical situations.
The system responds to vehicles
approaching from behind.Two radar sensors in the rear
bumper monitor the area behind
the vehicle.
If a vehicle is approaching from
behind at appropriate speed, the
system responds as follows:
The hazard warning lights are
switched on to warn the traffic
behind if there is potential for a
rear collision. Functional limitations

The system is automatically acti-
vated at the start of each journey.
The system is deactivated in the
following situations:
When reversing.The system may have limited func-
tionality in the following situations:
If the speed of the approaching
vehicle is significantly higher
than the driver's own speed.
If the approaching vehicle is trav-
elling slowly.

snow.
On sharp bends or narrow roads.
If the bumper is dirty, iced up or
covered, for example by stickers.
When a projecting load is being
transported.
The brake lights flash to warn road
users behind your vehicle that you
are performing an emergency brak-
ing manoeuvre. This can reduce
the risk of a rear-end collision.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve
you of your personal responsibility.
System limitations can mean that
warnings or system responses are
not issued or are issued too late,
incorrectly or without justification.
There is a danger of accidents. Adapt
your driving style to the traffic condi-
tions. Observe the traffic situation and
intervene actively if the situation war-
rants it.

Normal braking: brake lights illu-
minate.
Heavy braking: brake lights flash.
Shortly before the vehicle comes to
a standstill, the hazard warning
lights are activated.
To switch off the hazard warning
lights:
Accelerate.
Press the hazard warning lights
button.
The system can automatically bring
the vehicle to a standstill in certain
accident situations without the
involvement of the driver. The risk
of a further collision and its conse-
quences can thereby be reduced.
After the vehicle has come to a halt,
the brake is released automatically.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to bring the vehicle to a
standstill more quickly.
To do this, for a short time the brak-
ing pressure applied when stepping
on the brake pedal must be higher
than the braking pressure achieved by the automatic braking function.
This action interrupts the automatic
braking process.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to cancel automatic braking,
for example for an evasive
manoeuvre.
Cancel automatic braking:
By depressing the brake pedal.
By depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can detect decreasing
attentiveness or the onset of fatigue
in the driver on long monotonous
journeys, for example on motor-
ways. In this situation, it is recom-
mended that you take a break.

Increasing inattention or fatigue might
not be detected, or may not be
detected in good time. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Make sure that the
driver is rested and alert. Adapt your
driving style to the traffic conditions.

In poor road conditions.
In strong crosswinds.
The system is reset approximately
45 minutes after the vehicle is
stopped, for example when taking a
break during a long motorway jour-
ney.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-

ABS prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when the brakes are applied.
Steering control is retained even in
the event of full braking, thereby
enhancing active road safety.
ABS is ready to operate each time
the engine is started.
Situations which the ABS cannot
operate sufficiently:
When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speedDriving Stability Control
Systems
Vehicle equipment
Anti-lock Brake System ABS

216
Supra Owner's Manual3-1. CONTROLS
In this case, even if the ABS 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.
When the brake pedal is depressed
quickly, the system automatically
applies maximum braking power
assistance. By doing so, the brak-
ing distance is kept as short as pos-
sible in full braking situations. The
advantages offered by the Anti-lock
Brake System ABS can also be uti-
lised to the full.
The pressure on the brake should
be maintained for the duration of
the full-braking process.
In conjunction with Adaptive Cruise
Control, this system ensures that
the brake responds even more
quickly when braking in critical situ-
ations.The system provides support when
driving off on upward gradients.
1Hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the foot brake.
2Release the foot brake and drive
off without delay.
The vehicle is held for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the foot
brake has been released.
Depending on the vehicle's load,
the vehicle may roll backwards a lit-
tle.
The system reduces engine power
output and applies the brakes on
individual wheels thereby helping,
within the limits imposed by the
laws of physics, to keep the vehicle
safely on course.
VSC detects the following unstable
driving conditions, for example:

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.
