FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically controls braking and\
engine
torque in conjunction with systems such as ABS and TCS to help control s\
ide slip
when driving on slippery surfaces, or during sudden or evasive maneuveri\
ng,
enhancing vehicle safety.
To disable both TCS and DSC systems, press the switch.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.
Low-Speed Pre-Collision System (Smart City Break Support) operates at \
speeds of 18
mph or less and is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision\
by operating
the brakes when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead and\
determines that
a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
Refer to the “Smart City Brake Support” section of the Owner‘s \
Manual for limitations
and more details on this system.
SPORT mode
Use for additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make\
maneuvers
such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing other vehicles.\
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.

The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bump\
er of the
rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor system is\
located above
the license plate.
Picture quality adjustment can be done while the shift lever is in rever\
se (R). There are
four settings which can be adjusted including, brightness, contrast, tin\
t, and color.
When adjusting, pay sufficient attention to the vehicle surroundings.
Do not over rely on the system when backing up. Pay attention to the veh\
icle
surroundings.

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.

Floor mat installation
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each\
vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep\
the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.
TCS enhances traction and safety by controlling engine torque and brakin\
g. When the
TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates\
the
brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automatically to \
provide optimum
power to the drive wheels, limiting wheel spin and loss of traction.
