variety of sensors for assessing
the traffic situation. The Auto
Start/Stop function uses this
information to adapt to various
traffic situations in a proactive
manner.
For instance, this applies to the
following situations:

If a situation is detected in
which the stopping time is
expected to be very short, the
engine is not switched off
automatically. A message
appears on the Control Dis-
play, depending on the situa-
tion.
 If a situation is detected in
which the vehicle needs to
drive off immediately, the
engine is started automati-
cally.
The function may be restricted if
the navigation data is invalid,
outdated or not available, for
example.
The engine is not automatically
switched off.
The engine is started during an
automatic engine stop.

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The instrument cluster is a vari-
able display. When the sport
mode switch is used to change
the driving mode, the instrument
cluster displays change to
match the driving mode.
The display change in the instru-
ment cluster can be deactivated
via Toyota Supra Command.
