Airbags are not triggered in
every impact situation, for
instance in less severe acci-
dents.
Keep a distance from the air-
bags.
Always grasp the steering
wheel on the steering wheel
rim. Hold your hands at the 3
o'clock and 9 o'clock posi-
tions, to keep the risk of injury
to your hands or arms as low
as possible when the airbag is
triggered.
Adjust seat and steering
wheel so that hands can be
crossed over the steering
wheel. Select the settings so
that the shoulder rests against
the backrest when crossing
the hands and the upper body is as far back as possible
while still maintaining a com-
fortable grip on the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the front pas-
senger is sitting correctly, i.e.,
keeps his or her feet and legs
in the floor area and does not
support them on the dash-
board.
Make sure that occupants
keep their heads away from
the side airbag.
There should be no addi-
tional persons, animals or
objects between an airbag
and a person.
Dashboard and windshield on
the front passenger side must
stay clear - do not attach
adhesive labels or coverings
and do not attach brackets or
cables, for instance for GPS
devices or mobile phones.
Do not apply adhesive materi-
als to the airbag cover panels,
do not cover them or modify
them in any way.
Do not use the cover of the
front airbag on the front pas-
senger side as a storage
area.
Do not attach slip covers, seat
cushions or other objects to
the front passenger seat that
are not specifically suited for
seats with integrated side air-
bags.

WARNING
If the seat position is incorrect or
the deployment area of the air-
bags is impaired, the airbag sys-
tem cannot provide protection as
intended and may cause addi-

There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Follow the information

according to the setting.
Additional information:
• Radar sensors, refer to page 40. The system may not be fully
functional in the following situa-

When a vehicle is approach-

In heavy fog, wet conditions,

In tight curves or on narrow

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.

"Standard": the break recom-

"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.
The function may be limited in
the following situations and may
be output an incorrect warning
or no warning at all.

The system is reset approx. 45
minutes after parking the vehi-

break during longer trips on
highways. 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.
ABS prevents locking of the
wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steer-
ing power even during full brake
applications, which increases
the active safety.
ABS is operational every time
you start the engine.

not operate sufficiently:

excessively high rate of speedDriving stability con-

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.

Hold the vehicle in place with
the foot brake.
2 Release the foot brake and
drive off without delay.
After the foot brake is released,
the vehicle is held in place for
approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load-
ing, the vehicle may roll back
slightly.
Within the physical limits, the
system helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing
engine speed and by braking
the individual wheels.
