3164-5. Using the driving support systems
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle St ability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol+)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering per-
formance.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to acce lerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Po wer Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collisi on and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the poss ibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate au tomatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems
3184-5. Using the driving support systems
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift
lever is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission:
The shift lever is shifted to R when starting off forward on an upward
incline, or the shift lever is shifted to
other than R when starting off back- ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after
the brake pedal is released
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC and hill-start assist control sys-
tems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound
does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred. • Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down
slightly after the ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake
system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and
VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases. If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active Cor-
nering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate
while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is
drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiv eness of the EPS
system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel
heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.
The EPS system should return to nor- mal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of emergency
brake signal
When the following conditions are met,
the emergency brake signal will oper- ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h
(35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that it is a sudden brak- ing operation.
3204-5. Using the driving support systems
WA R N I N G
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to
help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will
not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may
cause a system to malfunction.
If you make no extreme correction
with the steering or brakes, your vehi-
cle and trailer should stabilize. (P.153)
■Secondary Collision Brake (if equipped)
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary
Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil-
ity of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system
may result in death or serious injury.

4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing out side tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the bat-
tery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tire s are the same size
and brand, and that chains match the
size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepa-
rations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter.
Always drive the vehicle in a
manner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WA R N I N G
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit
specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on a ll, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious
injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed
limit specified for the tire chains
being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-
ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
●Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) system.
(if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer or legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects the operation of the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters.
