Corolla is designed and built to achieve 5 stars in
the rigorous 2013 Euro NCAP safety tests. With its
comprehensive range of Active and Passive Safety
features, Corolla is among the safest cars in the
segment. (TBC, NMSC to localise).
7 SRS Airbags (NMSC to localise)
Driver and front passenger airbags, dual chamber side
airbags, a driver’s knee airbag as well as curtain shield
airbags protect driver and passengers (on selected grades).
– Reduced impact on driver and passengers in the event
of an accident.
Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL)
Front seats are designed to help minimise the risk of
neck whiplash injuries in low-speed rear end collisions
Seatback frames are built to yield in a controlled way in
rear-end impact to reduce the forward acceleration of
occupants’ torsos. This helps reduce the dierential
motion of head and torso, which is the cause of whiplash.
– Reduces the severity of occupant injury in low speed
 rearendimpact,whichin40%ofcasescouldrequire
more than a year for recovery.
Impact Absorbing Body Structure
Absorbs, distributes and disperses impact load from
frontal collisions and minimises deformation of the
passenger area in the event of a side collision.
– Driver,passengerandpedestrianprotection.
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) Seatbelts
Fitted to the front seats with pre-tensioners and
force-limiters.

– Addedstabilityinemergencybrakingsituations.
Emergency Brake Signal (EBS)
The Emergency Brake Signal (EBS) automatically
ashes the rear stop lights in an emergency braking
situation, alerting following trac.

Brake pedal depressed
Emergency braking detected from the vehicle deceleration.
The Emergency Brake Signal (EBS) disengages when:
Brake pedal released
Emergency braking no longer detected from the
vehicle deceleration
Hazard warning switch pressed.
– Research shows that this warning mechanism helps to
 reducerear-endcollisionsbycuttingthefollowing
 drivers’reactiontimesby50%.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction
Control (TRC)
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control
(TRC) automatically adjusts engine output and brake
force of each wheel to correct loss of control through
understeer or oversteer caused by skidding or an
emergency situation
Vehicles tted with VSC also feature a VSC OFF button.
– Helps driver maintain control of the vehicle in
adverse conditions.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(Available in countries where TPMS is mandatory; NMSC
to localise)
This advanced system employs a valve and transmitter
installed in each wheel that send signals to a receiver
when tyre pressure is low. In turn, the receiver
communicates with the vehicle’s ECU and a warning
signal appears on the combination meter.
– Helps the driver instantly identify low tyre pressure and
 alertsthedrivertotakeremedialaction
– Safety and peace of mind.

SIPA Operation
Simple Intelligent Park Assist (SIPA)
Available as of Active grade (NMSC to localise), Simple
Intelligent Park Assist (SIPA) is a parking assist system
designed for parallel parking. It uses the Toyota Touch™
screen as driver interface
SIPA diers from the traditional Intelligent Park Assist
(IPA) system in that it uses sensors and a clearance sonar
Minimum clearance needed for parking is the vehicle’s
length +90cm, whereas traditional IPA requires vehicle
length +190cm
When conrming the desired parking space, the sonar
detects vehicles and curb automatically, whereas on the
traditional system the sonar only detects vehicles.
– TighterparkingtolerancescomparedtoIPA
– BettersuitedtonarrowEuropeanparkingspaces
– ConsiderablylowercostcomparedtotraditionalIPAand
