1. Learn about the Star Safety System on
new Toyota near Charlotte!
At our N Charlotte Toyota dealership, we often find ourselves promoting the Star Safety
System without explaining all of the details. There are six different components to explore
and it can be slightly confusing. You’ll find the Star Safety System on all 2013 Toyota in N
Charlotte, as well as the 2012 models. Allow us to breakdown the six different features.
You’ll be in expert in the Toyota Star Safety System in no time!
One piece of exciting news we’d like to share is this new technology is developed right here
in America. There is a Toyota Technical Center in Michigan, which employs engineers to
work on new safety technology and car prototypes. This means the technology in your new
Toyota near Charlotte was created right here in the United States! The Star Safety System
was just one of the projects the engineers have been working on in the US.
Toyota brings you six different technologies for safety!
The first component we are going to explain is the Traction Control. This is a common term
in safety systems, but the protection it provides is more than common. It takes action when
you apply too much power from a complete stop in your new Toyota near Charlotte. It stops
the wheels from spinning and adds brake power to regain traction.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps with steering your new Toyota near Charlotte. This
technology uses a gyroscope to survey how the car is handling corners. VSC monitors this
and tightens the turning on the brakes and applies wheel speed. If you’re driving through
the North Carolina Mountains, you’ll have added control with VSC.
The Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) is something that you may not have heard of
before. The EBD is able to calculate the weight distribution in your Toyota near Charlotte.
Skidding tires are caused by not enough weight distribution. EBD is sure to transfer your
car’s weight evenly to prevent skidding wheels. It’s the first step before the Anti-Lock
brakes kick in.

2. All new Toyota in N Charlotte have the Star Safety System – standard!
If you’ve ever been in a car accident, you know how scary it can be. Sometimes in
emergency situations, you aren’t able to hit the brake pedal as hard as you need to. That’s
where the Brake Assist comes in. This technology can detect when your new Toyota near
Charlotte is trying to stop in an emergency. Brake Assist will apply the full braking pressure
allowing you to take full advantage of the Anti-Lock Brakes.
The last technology component we have to introduce is Smart Stop Technology (SST). It’s a
brake override system. There are occasions in emergencies where the accelerator and brake
can be pressed at the same time. SST is there to reduce engine power, even if the
accelerator is pressed. This is just another technology in your new Toyota near Charlotte
that is there to protect you.
