is switched on.
1Depress the brake pedal.
2Press the start/stop button.
The starting process is activated 
automatically for a short time and 
stops as soon as the engine starts.
Most of the indicator and warning 
lamps in the instrument cluster are 
illuminated for different lengths of 
time.
Depending on the engine version, 
full drive power may only be availa-
ble approx. 30 seconds after start-
ing the engine. In this case, the 
vehicle will not accelerate in the 
usual way.
When drive-ready state is switched 
on, the revolution counter shows 
the current engine speed. Safety notes
WARNING
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate 
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust 
fumes to enter the vehicle. The 
exhaust fumes contain pollutants 
which are colourless and odourless. 
In enclosed spaces, the exhaust 
fumes can also build up outside the 
vehicle. There is a danger of fatal 
injury. Keep the exhaust pipe clear 
and ensure sufficient ventilation.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start mov-
ing and rolling away. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Before leaving the 
vehicle, secure it to prevent it from 
rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that 
the vehicle is secured against rolling 
away:
• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the front wheels towards the 
kerb on upward or downward gradi-
ents.
• Additionally secure the vehicle on 
upward or downward gradients, for 
example with a chock.
NOTICE
Repeated start attempts or starting 
several times in quick succession 
means that fuel is not burned or is 
inadequately burned. The catalytic 
converter can overheat. There is a 
danger of damage to property. Avoid 
repeatedly starting in quick succes-
sion.

At speeds over approx. 250 km/h, 
155 mph, the system is temporarily 
disabled. As soon as the speed 
drops back below this value, the

according to its settings.
The system may have limited func-
tionality in the following situations, 
for example:
In thick fog, wet conditions or

The greater the sensitivity of the 
warning settings, for example warn-
ing time, the more warnings will be 
displayed. As a result, there may be 
an increased number of premature 
or unjustified warnings and reac-
tions.
The system can help to avoid acci-
dents with pedestrians and cyclists. 
If an accident cannot be avoided, 
the system helps to reduce the col-
lision speed.
The system warns of the possible 
risk of collision in the urban speed 
range and brakes automatically, as 
necessary.
At speeds above approx. 5 km/h, 3 
mph, the system warns of the pos-
sible risk of collision with pedestri-
ans and cyclists.

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 system reacts to pedestrians 
and cyclists if your own speed is 
below approx. 85 km/h, 53 mph.
The detection ability of the system 
is limited.
As a result, the system may fail to 
give warnings or may give warnings 
late.
It is possible that the following are 
not detected, for example:
Partially concealed pedestrians.
Pedestrians who are not detected as such, because of the 
viewing angle or outline.
Pedestrians outside the detec-
tion range.
Pedestrians less than approxi-
mately 80 cm, 32 in tall.
The system may have limited func-

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.
The higher mechanical and thermal 
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.

is parked
