ing or make an evasive maneu-
ver.

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.
If there is a risk of collision, the
system may also assist with
brake intervention.
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.
The braking intervention can be
interrupted by stepping on the
accelerator pedal with sufficient
force or by actively moving the
steering wheel.

The system responds to pedes-
trians and cyclists when the
speed of the vehicle is below
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.

The system's detection potential
is limited.
Thus, a warning might not be
issued or be issued late.
The following situations may not
be detected, for instance:



Partially covered pedestrians.



Pedestrians that are not
detected as such because of
the viewing angle or contour.



Pedestrians outside of the
detection range.



Pedestrians having a body
size less than 32 in/80 cm.

instance VSC OFF.



Up to 10 seconds after the

The lane departure warning
alerts when the vehicle is about
to run off the road or exit the
lane.

This camera-based system
warns starting at a minimum
speed.
The minimum speed is coun-
try-specific and is displayed in
the menu for the Toyota Supra
Safety systems.
Warnings are issued by means
of a steering wheel vibration.

The severity of the steering
wheel vibration can be adjusted.
The system does not provide a
warning if the turn signal is set in
the respective direction before
leaving the lane.
Depending on the equipment
version, if in the speed range up
to 155 mph/250 km/h a lane
marking is crossed, the system
may intervene with a brief active
steering intervention in addition
to vibrating. The system thus
helps keep the vehicle in the
lane.

If you leave the lane and if a
lane marking has been
detected, the steering wheel
vibrates in accordance with the
steering wheel vibration setting.
When the turn signal is switched
on in the corresponding direc-
tion before changing the lane, a
warning is not issued.

If, in the speed range up to 130
mph/210 km/h a lane boundary
is crossed, the system may
intervene with a brief active
steering intervention in addition
to vibrating. The steering inter-
vention helps keep the vehicle in
the lane. The steering interven-
tion can be noticed on the steer-
ing wheel and can be manually

overridden at any time. During
an active steering intervention,
the display in the instrument
cluster will blink.
For instance, the steering inter-
vention will be suppressed in the
following situations:



With accelerating or braking
hard.



When the turn signal indicator
is blinking.



With hazard warning system
switched on.



In driving situation with high
driving dynamics.



The Vehicle Stability Control
VSC adjusts.



Immediately following a steer-
ing intervention by the vehi-
cle systems.



When actively merging back
to your own lane after pass-
ing.

Depending on the equipment, in
the event of multiple active
steering interventions by the
system within 3 minutes without
the driver's intervention at the
steering wheel, an acoustic
warning will sound. A short
warning signal will sound at the
second steering intervention.
Beginning with the third steering
intervention, an continuous
warning will sound.

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.

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.

ABS prevents locking of the
wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steer-
ing power even during full brake
applications, which increases
the active safety.
ABS is operational every time
you start the engine.
Situations which the ABS can-
not operate sufficiently:



When entering a curve at an
excessively high rate of speed

In this case, even if the ABS 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.

The brake assistant automati-
cally applies maximum braking
assistance when the brake
pedal is depressed quickly. It
reduces the braking distance to
a minimum during emergency
braking. The advantages of the
Antilock Braking System are
thereby utilized.
Do not reduce the pressure on
the brake pedal during full brak-
ing.

The Adaptive Brake Assist,
together with Dynamic radar
cruise control, ensures that the
brake responds even faster in
critical situations when braking.
