For instance, the warning will be
canceled in the following situa-
tions:
Automatically after a few sec-
onds.
When returning to your own
lane.
When braking hard.
When using the turn signal.
If VSC Vehicle Stability Con-

In the event of missing, worn,
poorly visible, merging,
diverging, or multiple lane
markings such as in construc-

WARNING
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traf-
fic situation closely, be ready to
take over steering and braking at
any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.

the consequences thereof.
After coming to a halt, the brake
is released automatically.
It can be necessary to bring the
vehicle in certain situations to a
halt quicker.
To do this, for a short time the
braking pressure applied when
stepping on the brake pedal
must be higher than the braking
pressure achieved by the auto-
matic braking function. This
interrupts automatic braking.
It can be necessary to interrupt
automatic braking in certain situ-
ations, for instance for an eva-
sive maneuver.
Interrupt automatic braking:
By pressing the brake pedal.
By pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The system can detect decreas-
ing alertness or fatigue of the
driver during long, monotonous trips, for instance on highways.
In this situation, it is recom-
mended that the driver takes a
break.
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.

WARNING
The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing one's
physical state. An increasing lack
of alertness or fatigue may not be
detected or not be detected in
time. There is a risk of an acci-
dent. Make sure that the driver is
rested and alert. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions.
Function
1983-1. CONTROLS
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:
1"My Vehicle"
2 "Vehicle settings"
3 "Driver attention control"
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.
The function may be limited in
the following situations and may
be output an incorrect warning
or no warning at all.
When the clock is set incor-
rectly.
When the vehicle speed is
mainly below about 43
mph/70 km/h.
With a sporty driving style,
such as during rapid accelera-
tion or when cornering fast.
In active driving situations,
such as when changing lanes
frequently.
When the road surface is
poor.
In the event of strong side
winds.
The system is reset approx. 45
minutes after parking the vehi-
cle, for instance in the case of a
break during longer trips on
highways.

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.
