1. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an electronic system which integrates braking,
steering, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) systems, and is designed to help
the driver maintain vehicle control when there is a loss of traction in a turn. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all
affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual
for further details.
2. Toyota Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain
vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors
including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be
effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details.
3. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system
maintenance and tire and road conditions.
4. The Toyota driver, front passenger, front seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags are
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS). The driver and front passenger airbags are designed to
deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward
deceleration of the vehicle exceed the design threshold. The side airbags and side curtain airbags
are designed to deploy in certain types of severe side-impact collisions. The front and rear side
curtain airbags are also Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) and are designed to deploy at a
severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the airbags will not deploy. To
decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the
middle of the seat as far back as possible from the airbag modules and do not lean against the
door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback. Do not use rearward-facing
child seats in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying SRS airbag may cause serious
injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further instructions. Vehicle complies with
“Advanced Airbag” requirements of FMVSS 208.
5. HomeLink®is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Inc.
6. Middle seat on third-row models.
7. The Toyota DVD navigation system is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest.
Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Changes in street
names, road closures, traffic flow or other road system changes may affect the accuracy of the
mapping software. Rely upon your common sense to decide whether or not to follow a specified
route. Detailed coverage not available in every city. Optional periodic geographic updates available
at an additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner’s Manual and your Toyota dealer for
further details.
