used in the intervening period by
someone with a different remote
control.
Changes to settings are saved
automatically in the currently used
driver profile.
If a different driver profile is
selected via Toyota Supra Com-
mand, the settings saved there are
automatically applied. The new
driver profile is allocated to the
remote control currently used.
A guest profile is also available
which is not allocated to any remote
control. It can be used to perform
settings on the vehicle without
changing the personal driver pro-
files.
To ensure that the correct driver
profile can be set, the system must
be able to allocate the detected
remote control uniquely to the
driver.
This is ensured if the following con-
ditions are met:
• The driver is only carrying their
own remote control.
• The driver unlocks the vehicle.
• The driver enters the vehicle
through the driver's door.
The name of the currently used
driver profile is displayed when the Control Display is switched on.
Select a driver profile, see page 88.
As soon as the engine is started or
any button pressed, the display
selected last is shown on the Con-
trol Display.

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 instrument cluster is a variable
display. When the sport mode
switch is used to change the driving
mode, the instrument cluster dis-
plays change to match the driving
mode.
Changes to the displays in the
instrument cluster can be deacti-
vated via Toyota Supra Command.

ter can sometimes differ from the

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:
Loss of traction at the rear which
can lead to oversteer.

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.
The driver is responsible for a driv-
ing style appropriate to the situa-
tion. Activate/deactivate Traction

example:
When switching the engine off.
When switching on Cruise Con-
trol.
When activating sport mode
using the sport mode switch.
The displays turn off.
The system is interrupted when
reverse gear is engaged or the
transmission is in neutral.
Press the rocker switch repeatedly
upwards or downwards until the
desired speed limit is set.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance point,
the speed limit is increased or
decreased by 1 km/h, 1 mph.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed beyond the resistance
point, the speed limit changes to
the next multiple of 10 km/h on
the km/h display or the next mul-
tiple of 5 mph on the mph display in the speedometer.
If the set speed limit has been
reached or unintentionally
exceeded, for example when driv-
ing downhill, there is no active
brake intervention.
If you set a speed limit while driving
which is below the current speed,
the vehicle coasts down to the set
speed limit.
Vehicles with Speed Limit Assist,
see page 234: a change in the
speed limit detected by Speed Limit
Assist can be adopted for the
Speed Limiter as a new speed limit.
The current speed can also be
stored by pressing the button:
The system gives a warning if the
travelling speed exceeds the set
speed limit.
You can intentionally exceed the
speed limit. There is no warning in
such a case.
To exceed the set speed limit inten-
tionally, fully depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
The limit automatically becomes
active again as soon as the current
speed falls below the set speed
limit. Interrupting

Depending on the vehicle specifica-

played.
This system allows a desired speed
to be set using the buttons on the
steering wheel. The desired speed
is then maintained by the system.
To do this, the system automatically
accelerates and brakes the vehicle as necessary.
Depending on the vehicle settings,
the characteristics of the Cruise

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
Using the system in the following situ-
ations may increase the risk of an
accident, for example:
●On stretches of road with many cor-
ners and bends.
●In heavy traffic.
●If the road is icy, if there is fog or
snow, if conditions are wet or on a
loose road surface.
There is a danger of accidents or
damage to property. Only use the sys-
tem if it is possible to drive at a con-
stant speed.
