SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES Star Safety System All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System , which combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology (SST). Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing power from the EV system and applying brake force to selected wheels.
Page 35
Smart Stop Technology (SST) Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces driving torque when the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions. Floor mat installation There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy. To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps: • Only use floor mats designed for your specific model.
