TOYOTA IS THE FIRST FULL-LINE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE THE FEATURES OF THE STAR SAFETY SYSTEM STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES
1. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC- Helps prevent slips and loss of traction by reducing engine power and applying the brake force to the wheels that need it.)
2. Traction Control (TRAC- Helps maintain traction on wet, icy, loose or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).)
3. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS- Prevents brakes from locking up by "pulsing" brake pressure to each wheel to help you stay in control in emergency braking situations.)
4. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD- Redistributes brake force to help keep the rear wheels from locking up during sudden braking situations.)
5. Brake Assist (Detects sudden or "panic" braking and adds the full pressure needed to help prevent a collision.)
