ating an air cushion to help
reduce the impact on the occu-
pants and restrain them from
contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and
torso. When an airbag deploys,
as it will inflate nearly instantly, it
may impact an occupant and
cause an injury, or the loud
noise emitted by ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-
rary partial loss of hearing. Also,
as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them
may cause burns. For these rea-
sons, deployment of the airbags
is not entirely risk free. There-
fore, in order to reduce this risk,
the airbags are designed to only
deploy when additional reduc-
tion of the impact applied to the
occupants in a collision is nec-
essary.
If the force of the collision does
not cause the airbags to deploy,
the seatbelts will protect the
occupants.

WARNING

Do not install seat covers which

are not designed for use with this

vehicle, or attach a cushion or any

other accessory to either front

seat or hang anything on either

front seatback. Do not place

objects around the side of either

front seat. Refer to P.165for the

installation position of the SRS

side airbags.

WARNING

Do not lean against the door or

door window.

Also, do not install a cup holder or

any other accessories near the

SRS side airbags.

If anything is attached to or left in

the deployment area of an SRS

side airbag, the airbag may be

prevented from deploying or the

object may become a projectile

when the airbag deploys, possibly

leading to injury. Also, if an occu-

pant is leaning into this area, the

airbag may strike and injure the

head or arm of the occupant when

deploying.

WARNING

When using a cup holder, use the

use the existing cup holders in the

vehicle. Do not place anything but

appropriately sized containers

into the cup holders. Refrain from

placing hot drinks or glass con-

tainers in the cup holders as they

may cause burns or other injuries

in the event of a collision or sud-

den braking.

The explosive power that acti-

on the positions of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this
function over the long term, cali-
brate the front seats as soon as
a respective message appears

WARNING

To ensure the front-seat passen-

ger airbag function, the system

must be able to detect whether a

person is sitting in the front pas-

senger seat. The entire seat cush-

ion area must be used for this

purpose. There is a risk of injuries

or danger to life. Make sure that

the front passenger keeps his or

her feet in the floor area.

The system generally detects
children seated in a child
restraint system, particularly in
child restraint systems required
by NHTSA at the point in time
when the vehicle was manufac-
tured. After installing a child
restraint system, make sure that
the indicator light for the
front-seat passenger airbags
lights up. This indicates that the
child restraint system has been
detected and the front-seat pas-
senger airbags are not acti-
vated.

Toyota Supra Safety enables
central operation of the driver
assistance systems.

Depending on how the vehicle is
equipped, Toyota Supra Safety
consists of one or more systems
that can help prevent an immi-
nent collision.

If a prewarning is provided,

An acute warning is displayed in
case of the imminent danger of
a collision when the vehicle
approaches another object at a
high differential speed.
Intervene in the case of an
acute warning. Depending on
the driving situation and the
equipment version, the acute
warning may be accompanied
by a brief activation of the brak-
ing system.
With the warning time setting
"late" the brief activation of the
braking system is omitted.
If an acute warning is provided,
the system may also provide
assistance, such as through
braking, when there is risk of
collision.
Acute warnings may be pro-
vided even when there has been
no prior warning.

The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
The system may also assist in

braking if there is a risk of colli-
sion.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
City brake function: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
With radar sensor: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.
At speeds above approx. 130
mph/210 km/h, the braking inter-
vention occurs as a brief braking
pressure. No automatic delay
occurs.
The driver may interrupt the
braking intervention function by
stepping on the accelerator
pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect
objects may be limited in some
circumstances. Refer to the
information in this Owner’s Man-
ual regarding the limitations of
the system and actively inter-
vene as warranted.

The system can help prevent
accidents involving pedestrians
and cyclists. In the event of an
accident, the system may
reduce impact speed. The sys-

The system issues a warning of
a possible risk of collision with
pedestrians and cyclists at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5

The system reacts to pedestri-
