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.

se (R). There are
four settings which can be adjusted including, brightness, contrast, tin\
t, and color.

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.
