NOTES
This data includes, for example:
• Status messages of the vehicle 
and its individual components, 
for example wheel rotation 
speed, wheel speed, decelera-
tion, lateral acceleration, fas-
tened seat belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, for example 
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is only processed within 
the vehicle itself and is usually tran-
sient. The data is not saved after 
the vehicle is switched off.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for saving 
technical information. Information 
on vehicle condition, component 
load, maintenance requirements, 
events or errors can be saved tem-
porarily or permanently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or its 
environment, for example:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for example, fill levels, 
tyre inflation pressure, battery 
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for 
example, lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for 
example triggering of an airbag, 
activation of the drive stability 
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-ing events.
The data is required so that the 
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting 
and rectifying malfunctions, and 
helps the vehicle manufacturer to 
optimise vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient 
and is only processed within the 
vehicle itself. Only a small propor-
tion of the data is stored in event or 
error memories in response to spe-
cific circumstances.
When service work is being carried 
out, for example repairs, service 
operations, warranty work and 
quality assurance measures, this 
technical information can be read 
out from the vehicle together with 
the vehicle identification number.
Any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer can read out the 
information. The legally required 
on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket 
in the vehicle is used to read out 
the data.
The data is collected, processed 
and used by the relevant organisa-
tions in the service network. The 
data documents the technical con-
ditions of the vehicle and helps in 
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving 
quality.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has 
product monitoring obligations to 
meet in line with product liability

situations, for example:
After switching off drive-ready 
state if selector lever position R, 
D or M is engaged.
After switching off standby state 
if selector lever position N is 
engaged.
If, while the vehicle is at a stand-
still and selector lever position D, 
M or R is engaged, the driver's 
seat belt is unfastened, the 
driver's door is opened and the 
brake pedal is not depressed.
Apply the brakes until you are 
ready to drive off, otherwise the 
vehicle will move when a drive posi-

The selector lever will only move 
from position P to another selector 
lever position if drive-ready state is 
switched on and the brake pedal is 
depressed.
Where applicable, selector lever 
position P can only be changed 
once all technical requirements are 
fulfilled. Safety note
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start mov-

ger of accidents. Before leaving the

applied.
2Press the start/stop button. The 
starter must be heard to start 
turning. Press and hold the 
start/stop button.

the starter stops.
6Manoeuvre the vehicle out of 
the danger area and then 
secure it against rolling away.
More information can be found in the Tow-starting and towing chap-
ter, see page 345.
When the ambient conditions are 
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the 
function subjects the vehicle to very 
high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when 
running in, see page 266.
When starting with Launch Control, 
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when 
the engine is at operating tempera-
ture. The engine is at operating 
temperature after an uninterrupted 
journey of at least 10 km, approx. 6 
miles.

The menu for the Toyota Supra 
Safety Systems is shown.
If all Toyota Supra Safety Systems 
were switched off, all systems are 
now switched on.
"Customise Settings": depending 
on the equipment, the Toyota Supra 
Safety Systems can be configured 
individually. The individual settings 
are activated and saved for the cur-
rently used driver profile. As soon 
as a setting is changed in the 
menu, all settings in the menu are 
activated.
"ALL ON": all Toyota Supra Safety 
Systems are switched on. Basic 
settings are activated for the 
sub-functions, for example the set-
ting for warning time.
"Customise": the Toyota Supra 
Safety Systems are switched on 
according to the individual settings. 
Some Toyota Supra Safety Sys-
tems cannot be switched off individ-
ually.
All Toyota Supra Safety Systems 
are switched off.The system can help avoid acci-
dents. If an accident cannot be 
avoided, the system helps to 
reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible 
risk of collision and brakes auto-
matically, as necessary.
The system is controlled using the 
following sensors, depending on 
the equipment:
Camera in the area of the 
rear-view mirror.
Radar sensor in front bumper.
From speeds of approximately 5 
km/h, 3 mph, the system provides a 
two-stage warning of any possible 
risk of collision with vehicles. The 
timing of these warnings may vary 
depending on the current driving 
situation.
When deliberately moving closer to 
a vehicle, the front-end collision 
warning and braking intervention 
are activated later to avoid unjusti-
fied system responses.

If there is a risk of collision with a 
detected vehicle, a warning symbol 
is shown in the instrument cluster 
and, if applicable, in the Head-Up 
Display.An advance warning is shown, for 
example if a danger of collision is 
anticipated or there is a very short 
distance to a vehicle ahead.
The driver must intervene person-
ally if there is an acute warning.
An acute warning is given when the 
vehicle is approaching another 
object at a high differential speed 
and there is an immediate risk of a 
collision.
The driver must intervene person-
ally if there is an acute warning. 
Depending on the driving situation, 
the acute warning may be sup-
ported by a brief jolt in the brakes.
If the warning time setting is "Late", 
the jolt does not occur.
If necessary, the system can also 
assist by braking the vehicle auto-
matically if there is a risk of a colli-
sion.
An acute warning can be triggered 
even without a previous advance 
warning.
The warning prompts the driver to 
intervene actively. When the brake 
is operated during a warning, the

requires that the brake pedal is 
depressed sufficiently quickly and 
firmly beforehand.
The system can also assist by brak-
ing the vehicle automatically if there 
is a risk of a collision.
At low speeds, the vehicle can be 
braked to a stop.
City braking function: brake inter-
vention takes place at up to approx. 
85 km/h, 53 mph.
With radar sensor: brake interven-
tion takes place at up to approx. 
250 km/h, 155 mph.
At speeds above approx. 210 km/h, 
130 mph, the braking intervention 
takes the form of a brief jolt. There 
is no automatic deceleration.
The brakes are only applied if driv-
ing stability has not been impaired, 
for example by deactivation of Vehi-
cle Stability Control VSC.
Braking can be discontinued either 
by depressing the accelerator pedal 
or by actively moving the steering 
wheel.
The detection of objects may be 
limited. Take into account the 
detection range limits and the func-
tional limitations.The detection ability of the system 
is limited.
Only objects detected by the sys-
tem are taken into account.
For this reason, the system may fail 
to respond or only respond after a 
delay.
It is possible that the following are 
not detected, for example:
Slow-moving vehicle when 
approaching it at high speed.
Vehicles suddenly cutting in or 
braking heavily.
Vehicles with an unusual rear System limits
Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or 
may respond too late, incorrectly or 
without justification due to limits of the 
system. There is a danger of acci-
dents or damage to property.
Observe the information on the sys-
tem limits and intervene actively if 
necessary.
