3664-5. Using the driving support systems
1Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving to improve fuel
economy by more smoothly gener-
ating torque in response to acceler-
ator pedal operations compared to
normal mode and restraining air
conditioning system operations
(heating/cooling).
When the switch is turned to the left
while not in Eco drive mode, the
system switches to Eco drive mode
and the Eco drive mode indicator
illuminates on the mu lti-information
display.
2 Normal mode
Suitable for n ormal driving.
The driving mode returns to normal
mode if the switch i s pressed while
in Eco drive mode or sport mode.
3 Sport mode
Controls the steering feeling and
hybrid system to create an acceler-
ation response tha t is suitable for
sporty driving. Suitable for when
crisp handling is desired, such as
when driving on mountainous
roads.
When the switch is turned to the
right while not in sport mode, the
system switches to sport mode and
the sport mode indicator illuminates
on the multi-information display.
■When changing to a driving
mode other than normal mode
●The background color of the multi-
information display changes
according to the selected driving
mode.
●When the speedometer is set to
analog display, the speedometer
display color also changes. (For
vehicles with the 7-inch multi-
information di splay only)
●The color of the switch changes
according to the selected driving
mode. (For vehicles with the 7-
inch multi-information display
only)
■Air conditioning system opera-
tion in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, heating/cooling
operations and the fan speed is con-
trolled to improve fuel efficiency.
Perform the following procedures to
increase the air conditioning perfor-
mance.
●Turn eco air conditioning mode off
(  P.525)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.525)
●Cancel Eco drive mode

■Trail Mode
●Trail Mode is intended for use
when driving on bumpy rough
roads. Do not turn the switch on in
other situations.
●Trail Mode controls the vehicle so
that it can use the maximum
amount of drive force when driving
on bumpy roads.
●If Trail Mode is continuously used
for a long period of time, the load
on related parts increases and the
system may be un able to operate
effectively.
■When Trail Mode is canceled
In the following situations, Trail
Mode is automatically canceled
even if it is turned on.
●When the driving mode is
changed (P.366)
●When the power switch is turned
off
■During Trail Mode operation
The following types of situations
may occur, but they are not mal-
functions.
●Vibrations may be felt throughout
the vehicle or steering wheel
●Operating noise may be heard
from the engine compartment
■When an inspection at your
Toyota dealer is necessary
In the following si tuations, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning. Have
the vehicle insp ected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
●When the slip indica tor light illumi-
nates while Trail Mode is on
●When the Trail Mode indicator
does not illuminat e even though
the Trail Mode switch is pressed

Driving■ECB (Electronically Con-
trolled Brake System)
The electronically controlled
system generates braking force
corresponding to the brake
operation
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■Active Cornering Assist
(ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle
from drifting to the outer side by
performing inner wheel brake
control when attempting to
accelerate while turning
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and
performance, the following
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various
driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these
systems are supplementary
and should not be relied
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems

3704-5. Using the driving support systems
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■E-Four (Electronic On-
Demand AWD system)
Automatically switches from
front wheel drive to all-wheel
drive (AWD) according to the
driving conditions, helping to
ensure reliable handling and
stability. Examples of condi-
tions where the system will
switch to AWD are when corner-
ing, going uphill, starting off or
accelerating, and when the road
surface is slippery due to snow,
rain, etc.
■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■When the
TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer
Sway Control systems are operat-
ing.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the hybrid sys-
tem to the wheels.
Pressing to turn the system off
may make it easier for you to rock
the vehicle in order to free it.
To turn the TRAC system off,
quickly press and release .
“Traction Contro l Turned OFF” will
be shown on the mu lti-information
display.
Press again to turn the system
back on.
■Turning off the
TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Con-
trol systems
To turn the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems of f, press and hold
for more than 3 seconds while
the vehicle is stopped.
The VSC OFF indicator light will
come on and the “Traction Control
Turned OFF” will be shown on the
multi-informat ion display.
