Driving Assist Systems - Toyota Tacoma 2024 Manual

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and
performance, the following
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various
driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these
systems are supplementary
and should not be relied
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems
■
ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface, or in off-road
conditions (such as rough
roads, sand and mud)
The ABS operates in synchroni-
zation with the Multi-terrain
Select
■
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■
Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Helps to maintain directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■
Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.
■
TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■
Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■
AVS (Adaptive Variable
Suspension System) (if
equipped)
The damping force of the shock
absorbers are independently
controlled for the 4 wheels
according to factors including
the road surface conditions and
driving operation, contributing
toward enhancing smooth driv-
ing comfort and superior stabil-
ity, and helping to maintain
vehicle posture.
In addition, the damping force
can be changed by selecting the
drive mode with the driving
