3 Press the button.
TRACTION will be displayed on the instrument cluster and the VSC OFF
indicator lamp will illuminate.
4 Select the D selector lever posi-
tion.
5 Firmly depress the brake pedal
with your left foot.
6 Fully depress and hold the
accelerator pedal at the kick-
down position.
A flag symbol will be shown in the instrument cluster.
7 The engine speed will be
adjusted for launching. Release
the brake pedal within 3 sec-
onds.
Once Launch Control has been
used, the transmission requires
approximately 5 minutes to cool
down before Launch Control can be
used again. Launch Control adapts
to the ambient conditions when
used again.
To support driving stability, re-acti-
vate Vehicle Stab ility Control, VSC
as soon as possible.
An experienced driver may be able
to achieve better acceleration val-
ues in VSC OFF mode.
The sport mode switch influences
the driving dynamics characteristics
of the vehicle.
The following systems are influ-
enced, for example:
 Engine characteristics.
 Automatic transmission.
 Adaptive variable suspension.
 Steering.
 Display in the instrument cluster.

Vehicle Stability Control System
VSC
If the indicator lamp is
flashing: VSC is regulating
the acceleration and brak-
ing forces. The vehicle is
being stabilised. Decrease
speed and adjust driving
style to the road condi-
tions.
If the indicator lamp is illu-
minated: VSC has failed.
Immediately have the sys-
tem checked by any
authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPM)
The indicator lamp illumi-
nates: the Tyre Pressure
Monitor is reporting a low
tyre inflation pressure or a
flat tyre. Note the informa-
tion in the vehicle mes-
sage.
The indicator lamp flashes
and then illuminates con-
tinuously: no flat tyres or
loss of tyre inflation pres-
sure can be detected.
 Fault due to systems or
devices with the same
radio frequency: the
system is automatically
reactivated upon leav-
ing the field of interfer-
ence.
 A wheel without TPM
wheel electronics is fit-
ted: if necessary have it
checked by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable

The system provides support when
driving off on upward gradients.
1 Hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the foot brake.
2 Release the foot brake and drive
off without delay.
The vehicle is held for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the foot
brake has been released.
Depending on the vehicle's load,
the vehicle may roll backwards a lit-
tle.
The system reduce s engine power
output and applies the brakes on
individual wheels thereby helping,
within the limits imposed by the
laws of physics, to keep the vehicle
safely on course.
VSC detects the following unstable
driving conditions, for example:
 Loss of traction at the rear which
can lead to oversteer.
 Loss of grip of the front wheels
which can lead to understeer.Hill-start assist control

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
The system does not relieve you of
your personal responsibility to assess
the traffic situation correctly. Due to system limitations, it cannot respond
independently and appropriately in all
traffic conditions. There is a danger of accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the
traffic situation and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WA R N I N G
When driving with a roof load, for example with a roof rack, the higher
centre of gravity can mean that driv-
ing safety is no longer guaranteed in critical driving situations. There is a
danger of accidents or damage to
property. Do not deactivate Vehicle
Stability Control VSC when driving with a roof load.

Driving stability during acceleration
and cornering is rest ricted if VSC is
deactivated.
To assist driving stability, re-acti-
vate VSC as soon as possible.
VSC OFF is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster when VSC is deacti-
vated.
 When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed
In this case, even if the VSC operates,
it cannot operate sufficiently to avoid a
possible dangerous situation. The
driver is solely responsible for under-
standing their surroundings and driving
at a safe speed.
Traction mode is a variant of Vehi-
cle Stability Control VSC and is
optimised for forward momentum.
In special road conditions, for
example roads on which snow has
not been cleared or on a loose sur-
face, the system ensures maximum
forward momentum but with some-

what limited driving stability.
Activating Traction mode provides
maximum traction. Driving stability
during acceleration and cornering is
limited.
Activating Traction mode briefly
may be useful in the following situa-
tions:
 When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered roads.
 When starting in deep snow or
on a loose surface.
 When driving with snow chains.
When Traction mode is activated,
TRACTION is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
In certain situations, VSC is acti-
vated automatically:
 If Dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is acti-
