The system generally detects
children seated in a child
restraint system, particularly in
child restraint systems required
by NHTSA at the point in time
when the vehicle was manufac-
tured. After installing a child
restraint system, make sure that
the indicator light for the
front-seat passenger airbags
lights up. This indicates that the
child restraint system has been
detected and the front-seat pas-
senger airbags are not acti-
vated.Toyota Supra Safety enables
central operation of the driver
assistance systems.
Depending on how the vehicle is
equipped, Toyota Supra Safety
consists of one or more systems
that can help prevent an immi-
nent collision.
Pre-Collision System, refer to
page 174.
Pre-Collision System (for
pedestrians and bicycles),
refer to page 179.
Lane departure warning, refer
to page 182.
Blind spot monitor, refer to
page 187.
The indicator light
lights up when a child
is properly seated in a
child restraint system
or when the seat is
empty. The airbags
on the front passen-
ger side are not acti-
vated.
The indicator light
does not light up
when, for instance a
correctly seated per-
son of sufficient size
is detected on the
seat. The airbags on
the front passenger
side are activated.

CONTROLSWhen entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC 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.
Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized. The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.
When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.
When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.
When driving with snow
chains.
