Using this system, a desired 
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using 
the buttons on the steering 
wheel.
The system maintains the 
desired speed on clear roads. 
For this purpose, the vehicle 
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of 
you, the system adjusts the 
speed of your vehicle so that the 
set distance to the vehicle 
ahead is maintained. The speed 
is adjusted as far as the given 
situation allows.

A radar sensor is located in the 
front bumper and a camera on 
the interior mirror to detect vehi-
cles driving ahead of you.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the 
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in 
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you 

brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a 
brief period, the system is able 
to detect this within the given 
system limits.

The system does not decelerate 
in the following situations:



For pedestrians or similarly 
slow-moving road users.



For red traffic lights.



For cross traffic.



For oncoming traffic.

A vehicle driving in front of you 
is not detected until it is com-
pletely within the same lane as 
your vehicle.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you 
suddenly swerves into your 
lane, the system may not be 
able to automatically restore the 
selected distance. It may not be 
possible to restore the selected 
distance in certain situations, 
including if you are driving sig-
nificantly faster than vehicles 
driving ahead of you, for 
instance when rapidly approach-
ing a truck. When a vehicle driv-
ing ahead of you is reliably 
detected, the system requests 

that the driver intervene by brak-
ing and carrying out evasive 
maneuvers, if needed.

If the desired speed is too high 
for a curve, the speed is 
reduced slightly, although 
curves cannot be anticipated in 
advance. Therefore, drive into a 
curve at an appropriate speed.
The system has a limited detec-
tion range. Situations can arise 
in tight curves where a vehicle 
driving ahead will not be 
detected or will be detected very 
late.

When you approach a curve the 
system may briefly report vehi-
cles in the next lane due to the 
bend of the curve. If the system

In some situations, the vehicle 
cannot drive off automatically; 
for example:



On steep uphill grades.



From bumps in the road.

In these cases, step on the 
accelerator pedal.

The following restrictions can 
occur under unfavorable 
weather or light conditions:



Poorer vehicle recognition.

Examples of unfavorable 
weather or light conditions:



Wet conditions.



Snowfall.



Slush.





Glare.

Drive attentively, and react to 
the current traffic situation. If 
necessary, intervene actively, 
for instance by braking, steering 
or evading.

The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill. The speed may 
not be maintained on uphill 
grades if the engine power is 
insufficient.

The system cannot be activated 
if the radar sensor is not aligned 
correctly. This may be caused 
by damage incurred, for 
instance during parking.
A vehicle message is displayed 
if the system fails.
Have the system checked by 
your Toyota dealer.
The system may be impaired

position of the object. E.g., if an 
object is detected to the left rear 
of the vehicle, a signal tone 
sounds from the left rear 
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the 
object, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected 
object is less than approx. 10 
inches/25 cm, a continuous tone 
is sounded.
If there are objects in front of 
and behind the vehicle at the 
same time, with a distance 
smaller than approx. 10 in/25 
cm, an alternating constant tone 
will sound.

The Adaptive variable suspen-

reduces undesirable vehicle 
motion when using a dynamic 
driving style or traveling on 
uneven road surfaces.
This enhances the driving

depending on the road surface 
condition and driving style.

The system offers several differ-

The damping settings are

Performance Control enhances 
the agility of the vehicle.
To increase maneuverability, 
wheels are braked individually 
when a sporty driving style is

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.

Moving parts need to begin 
working together smoothly.
The following instructions will 
help you to achieve a long vehi-
cle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the 
Launch Control, refer to page 
127.

Do not exceed the maximum 
engine and road speed:



For gasoline engine 4,500 
rpm and 100 mph/160 km/h.

Avoid full load or kickdown 
under all circumstances.

The engine and vehicle speed 
can gradually be increased.

Tire traction is not optimal due to 
manufacturing circumstances 
when tires are brand-new; they 
achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.

Closing the trunk lid

Safety information

WARNING

An open trunk lid protrudes from 

the vehicle and can endanger 

occupants and other traffic partici-

pants or damage the vehicle in 

the event of an accident, braking 

or evasive maneuvers. In addi-

tion, exhaust fumes may enter the 

car's interior. There is a risk of 

injury or risk of damage to prop-

erty. Do not drive with the trunk lid 

open.

Hot exhaust gas system

WARNING

During driving operation, high 

temperatures can occur under-

neath the vehicle body, for 

instance caused by the exhaust 

gas system. If combustible mate-

rials, such as leaves or grass, 

come in contact with hot parts of 

the exhaust gas system, these 

materials can ignite. There is a 

risk of injury or risk of damage to 

property. Do not remove the heat 

shields installed and never apply 

undercoating to them. Make sure 

that no combustible materials can 

come in contact with hot vehicle 

parts in driving operation, idle or 

during parking. Do not touch the 

hot exhaust gas system.

Mobile communication 
devices in the vehicle

WARNING

Vehicle electronics and mobile 

phones can influence one 

another. There is radiation due to 

the transmission operations of 

mobile phones. There is a risk of 

injury or risk of damage to prop-

erty. If possible, in the car's inte-

rior use only mobile phones with 

direct connections to an exterior

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

Supra Owner's Manual

When visibility is poor due to 
fog, even if it is daytime, turn the 
low beam headlights on to make 
your vehicle more visible to 
other vehicles, etc. Drive with 
caution at a low speed, using 
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle, 
etc., as guide.

When the vehicle is being blown 
by crosswinds, drive at a lower 
speed and grip the steering 
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-

ceptible to crosswinds when 
exiting a tunnel or underpass, 
when driving on a bridge or 
embankment, or when passing 
or being passed by a truck or 
other large vehicle.



During a rain storm or when 
the road surface is wet, the 
road surface may be slippery 
and visibility may be reduced. 
In this case, turn the low 
beam headlights on to make 
your vehicle more visible to 
other vehicles, etc. Increase 
the distance between your 
vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a 
lower speed than normal, 
avoiding sudden accelera-
tion, braking or steering oper-
ations.



Use the rear defroster and air 
conditioning system to pre-
vent the windows from fog-
ging up.



Hydroplaning is more likely to 
occur when driving on ruts or 
through large puddles.

IVING TIPS

On wet or slushy roads, a 
wedge of water can form 
between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to 
as hydroplaning. It is character-
ized by a partial or complete 
loss of contact between the tires 
and the road surface, ultimately 
undermining your ability to steer 
and brake the vehicle.

When driving through water, fol-
low the following:



Drive through calm water 
only.



Drive through water only if it is 
not deeper than maximum 9.8 
inches/25 cm.



Drive through water no faster 
than walking speed, up to 3 
mph/5 km/h.

The vehicle is equipped with the 
Antilock Brake System ABS as a 
standard feature.
Perform an emergency stop in 
situations that require such.
Steering is still responsive. You 
can still avoid any obstacles with 
a minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and 
sounds from the hydraulic cir-
cuits indicate that the Antilock 
Brake System ABS is in its 
active mode.
In certain braking situations, the 
perforated brake discs can emit 
functional noises. However, 
functional noises have no effect 
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.

NOTICE

When driving too quickly through 

too deep water, water can enter 

into the engine compartment, the 

electrical system or the transmis-

sion. There is a risk of damage to

Braking safely

General information

250

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

Supra Owner's Manual

When roads are wet, salted, or 
in heavy rain, gently press the 
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not 
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake 
pads and protects them against 
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will 
be available when you need it.

■

General information

Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires 
least braking effort. Otherwise, 
the brakes may overheat and 

reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's 
braking effect by shifting down, 
going all the way to first gear, if 
needed.

■

Safety information

Corrosion on the brake discs 
and contamination on the brake 
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:



Low mileage.



Extended periods when the 
vehicle is not used at all.



Infrequent use of the brakes.



Aggressive, acidic, or alka-
line cleaning agents.

Corrosion buildup on the brake 
discs will cause a pulsating 

Objects in the area around 
the pedals

WARNING

Objects in the driver's floor area 

can limit the pedal distance or 

block a depressed pedal. There is 

a risk of an accident. Stow objects 

in the vehicle such that they are 

secured and cannot enter into the 

driver's floor area. Use floor mats 

that are suitable for the vehicle 

and can be safely attached to the 

floor. Do not use loose floor mats 

and do not layer several floor 

mats. Make sure that there is suf-

ficient clearance for the pedals. 

Ensure that the floor mats are 

securely fastened again after they 

were removed, for instance for 

cleaning.

Driving in wet conditions

Hills

WARNING

Light but consistent brake pres-

sure can lead to high tempera-

tures, brakes wearing out and 

possibly even brake failure. There 

is a risk of an accident. Avoid 

placing excessive stress on the 

brake system.

WARNING

In idle state or with the engine 

switched off, safety-relevant func-

tions, for instance engine braking 

effect, braking force boost and 

steering assistance, are restricted

When using the automatic cli-
mate control, condensation 
water develops and collects 
underneath the vehicle.

Higher mechanical and thermal 
loads during racetrack operation 
lead to increased wear. This 
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not 
designed for use in motor sports 
competition.
Have vehicle checked by your 
Toyota dealer before and after 
driving on a racetrack.

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

and regular maintenance, can 
influence fuel consumption and 
the environmental impact.

Additional weight increases fuel 
consumption.

Attached parts on the vehicle 
impair the aerodynamics and 
increase the fuel consumption.

Open windows increase air 
resistance and therefore lead to 
greater fuel consumption.

Tires can affect consumption in 
various ways, for instance tire 
size may influence consump-
tion.

Check and, if needed, correct 
the tire inflation pressure at least 
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure 
increases rolling resistance and 
thus raises fuel consumption 
and tire wear.

Do not wait for the engine to 
warm-up while the vehicle 
remains stationary. Start driving 
right away, but at moderate 
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of 
warming the cold engine up to 
operating temperature.

Driving smoothly and proactively 
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration 
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving 
ahead of you.

Driving at low engine speeds 
lowers fuel consumption and 
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to 
page 140.

When approaching a red light, 
take your foot off the accelerator 
and let the vehicle coast to a

The flow of fuel is interrupted 
while coasting.

Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic 
lights, railroad crossings or in 
traffic congestion.

The Auto Start/Stop function of 
the vehicle automatically 
switches off the engine during a 
stop.
If the engine is switched off and 
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and 
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is 
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road 
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.

Functions such as seat heating 
and the rear window defroster 

require a lot of energy and 
increase fuel consumption, 
especially in city and 
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they 
are not needed.

Have the vehicle maintained 
regularly to achieve optimal 
vehicle efficiency and service 
life. Toyota recommends that
