Star Safety System

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and

applying brake force to selected wheels.

Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.

When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces

engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction

and vehicle control.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Brake Assist (BA)

ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each

wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the

current road conditions.

Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup

by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure

repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that

current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking

pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a

split second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly

than just the driver alone can.

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and

Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven

surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).

Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.

TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This

transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.

Traction Control (TRAC)

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)

Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help

maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle

to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to

sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of

all four wheels.

Each vehicle has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.

To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:

Floor mat installation

Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator

and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.

SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied

firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.

SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,

allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling

backward.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES

All new Scion vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System

, which combines

Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability

Control (VSC), Brake Assist (BA) and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
