WA R N I N G
Lane Departure Warning will not oper-
ate in all conditions. It also will not
automatically return the vehicle to the original lane. If the driver relies only
on Lane Departure Warning to keep
the vehicle in the lane, lane departure may occur, resulting in an accident.
Lane Departure Warning activates
when it detects lane markings. How- ever, it is not a function which can
detect the edge of a road (shoulders
or side ditches, etc.) and warn the driver.

2564-6. Using other driving 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
■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
The TRC system is also equipped
with the brake LSD function.
■Hill-start assist control
P.253
■EPS (Electric Power 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.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are
operating
The slip indicator will flash while the TRC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing switch to turn the system
off may make it easier for you to rock the
vehicle in order to free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
The TRC OFF indicator will come on.
Press switch again to turn the sys-
tem back on.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety
and performance, the following
systems operate automatically
in response to various driving
situations. 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
2584-6. Using other driving systems
*1: Vehicles with an automatic transmission
*2: Vehicles with a manual transmission
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, TRC and
VSC systems
●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 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.
■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
reactivated 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 is more than approximately 50
km/h (31 mph).
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reactivation will
not occur when vehicle speed
increases.
■Reduced effectiveness 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 after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.
■Operating conditions of emergency brake signal
When the following three conditions are
met, the emergency brake signal will operate:
●The emergency flashers are off.
●Actual vehicle speed is over 60 km/h
(38 mph).
●The brake pedal is depressed in a
manner that cause the system to judge from the vehicle deceleration
that this is a sudden braking opera-
tion.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will turn off
in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The brake pedal is released.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P.377)

■The ABS does not operate effec-
tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor- mance have been exceeded (such
as excessively worn tires on a snow
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing at high speed on wet or slick
roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS
is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten
the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you, especially
in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the
road
●When driving over roads with pot-
holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC may not operate effectively
when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC
system is operating. Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability
and power may be lost.
■When the VSC and/or brake LSD
function is activated
The slip indicator flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator 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.
