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.

ing style appropriate to the situa-
tion. Activate/deactivate Traction

CONTROLS
A vehicle driving ahead of you is
only detected when it is fully in your
driving path.
If another vehicle suddenly pulls
out in front of you, the system might
not be able to re-establish the
selected distance of its own accord.
In some circumstances, it may also
not be possible to restore the
selected distance if you are driving
significantly faster than vehicles in
front, for example when rapidly
approaching a lorry. If a vehicle is
clearly detected in front of you, the
system prompts you to intervene by
braking, and if necessary by taking
evasive action.If the desired speed is too high for
cornering, it will be reduced slightly
in the bend. However, the system
does not detect bends in advance.
For this reason, moderate your
speed when cornering.
The system has a limited detection
range. Situations can arise on tight
bends where a vehicle driving in
front will not be detected or will be
detected very late.
When your vehicle is approaching a
bend, the angle of the bend may
cause the system to respond tem-
porarily to vehicles in the other
lane. If the system responds by
decelerating the vehicle, you may
compensate for this by accelerating
briefly. When the accelerator pedal
is released again, the system will
resume control of the vehicle's
speed.
The vehicle cannot drive off auto-
matically in some situations, for
example:
On steep upward gradients.
Before bumps or rises in the Vehicles pulling out

In such cases, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
The following restrictions may apply
if the weather or lighting conditions
are unfavourable:
Impaired detection of vehicles.
Brief interruptions when vehicles
have already been detected.
Examples of unfavourable weather
or lighting conditions:
Wet roads.
Snowfall.
Slush.
Fog.
Oncoming light.
Pay attention when driving and
respond to the prevailing traffic con-
ditions. If necessary, intervene
actively, for example by braking,
steering or manoeuvring.
The desired speed is also main-
tained on a downhill stretch. The
vehicle may drive slower than the
desired speed on uphill gradients if
the engine power is not sufficient.The system cannot be activated if
the radar sensor is not correctly
aligned, for example following park-
ing damage.
A vehicle message is displayed if
the system has failed.
Have the system checked by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The system may have limited func-
tionality if the radar sensor detec-
tion range is partially covered, for
example by the number plate
holder.
The function for detecting and
responding to stationary vehicles
when approaching may be limited
in the following situation:
During the camera calibration
process immediately after vehi-
cle delivery.
Failure or soiling of the camera.

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.

The system does not relieve you of

the corresponding situations.

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

On rough road surfaces.
On uneven surfaces, for exam-
ple speed bumps.
In large, rectangular buildings

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,

are detected if necessary.
