The system is switched on each
time drive-ready state is
switched on.
After travel has begun, the sys-
tem monitors certain aspects of
the driver's behavior, so that
decreasing alertness or fatigue
can be detected.
This procedure takes the follow-
ing criteria into account:
Personal driving style, for
instance steering behavior.
Driving conditions, for
instance length of trip.
Starting at approx. 43 mph/70
km/h, the system is active and
can also display a recommenda-
tion to take a break.
The Driver attention control is
active automatically with each
switching on of drive-ready state
and can thus display a break
recommendation.
The break recommendation can
also be switched on or off and
adjusted via Toyota Supra Com-
mand.
Via Toyota Supra Command:

4 Select desired setting:
"Standard": the break recom-
mendation is made with a
defined value.
"Sensitive": the break recom-
mendation is issued earlier.
"Off": no break recommenda-
tion is made.
If the driver becomes less alert
or fatigued, a message is dis-
played in the Control Display
with the recommendation to
take a break.
During the display, the following
settings can be selected:
"Do not ask again"
"Places to stop"
"Remind me later"
The break recommendation is
repeated after 20 minutes.
After a break, another recom-
mendation to take a break can-
not be displayed until after
approximately 45 minutes.

In this case, even if the ABS oper-
ates, it cannot operate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.
When you apply the brakes rap-
idly, the system automatically
produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces
the braking distance to a mini-
mum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the
capabilities provided by the Anti-
lock Brake System ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on
the brake pedal for the duration
of the emergency stop.
In combination with Dynamic
radar cruise control, this system
ensures that the brakes respond
even more rapidly when braking
in critical situations.This system supports driving off
on uphill grades.

After the foot brake is released,
the vehicle is held in place for
approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load-

Within the physical limits, the
system helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing

other vehicles, etc. Increase
the distance between your
vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a
lower speed than normal,
avoiding sudden accelera-
tion, braking or steering oper-
ations.
Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to pre-
vent the windows from fog-
ging up.
Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.
On wet or slushy roads, a
wedge of water can form
between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to
as hydroplaning. It is character-
ized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately
undermining your ability to steer
and brake the vehicle.
When driving through water, fol-
low the following:

Drive through calm water only.
Drive through water only if it is
not deeper than maximum 9.8
inches/25 cm.
Drive through water no faster
than walking speed, up to 3
mph/5 km/h.
The vehicle is equipped with an

The flow of fuel is interrupted
while coasting.
Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic
lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
The Auto Start/Stop function of
the vehicle automatically
switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.
Functions such as seat heating
and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy and
increase fuel consumption,
especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they
are not needed.
Have the vehicle maintained
regularly to achieve optimal
vehicle efficiency and service
life. Toyota recommends that
maintenance work be performed
by Toyota.

Perform a system reset again.
• Tire Pressure Monitor mal- function: have the system
checked by a manufacturer
service center or another
qualified service center or
repair shop.
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be
checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added
safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possi-
ble, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehi-
cle's handling and stopping
ability. Please note that the
TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility
to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indi-
cate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then
remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires
