Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted ev\
en slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-ex\
tended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to\
help
hold child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child re\
straint system,
refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Keep as low on hips as possible
Take up slack
Too high
If tire pressure indicator is on, check/adjust each tire.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or repl\
aced, turn the
ignition switch to “ON” and press and hold the “SET” button until indicator blinks twice
and a beep sound once. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow in\
itialization to
complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for ti\
re inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then\
remains on,
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been in\
itialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should tu\
rn off the
light.

Safety System
Your vehicle comes standard with a Safety System, which combines Anti-lo\
ck Brake
System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Brake Over-Ride System (BOS), Dyn\
amic Stability
Control (DSC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Tractio\
n Control System
(TCS). Thus, your vehicle is equipped with safety systems similar to e\
ach of those that
together comprise Toyota’s Star Safety System.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on limitations
to these systems.
DSC automatically controls braking and engine torque in conjunction with\
systems such
as ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery surfac\
es, or during
sudden or evasive maneuvering, enhancing vehicle safety.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
ABS control unit continuously monitors the speed of each wheel. If one w\
heel is about
to lock up, the ABS responds by automatically releasing and reapplying t\
hat wheel’s
brake.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
During emergency braking situations when it is necessary to depress the \
brake pedal
with greater force, the brake assist system provides braking assistance,\
thus enhancing
braking performance.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly than fo\
r non-
emergency stops, the system applies the brakes more firmly.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
EBD makes it easier to maintain vehicle control and shortens the stoppin\
g distance
when there is a large load on the rear wheels, such as when the car is c\
arrying a full
load of passengers. EBD optimally distributes the braking power between \
the front and
rear wheels depending on the load in order to increase the effectiveness\
of the rear-
wheel braking and minimize the difference in stopping distance between w\
hen the car
is fully loaded and when it is not.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Brake Over-ride System automatically reduces driving torque when the acc\
elerator and
brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
BOS doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling backward.
