Vehicle Stability Control is an active safety technology that improves vehicle stability. It’s especially helpful when the road is slick or in emergency situations.
In December 2010, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that if every vehicle on the road had Vehicle Stability Control, it would save as many as 10,000 lives and prevent 250,000 injuries per year.

Today, we will learn how Toyota’s Traction Control feature will improve driving stability on slippery roads. The system monitors and keeps the drive wheels from spinning out of control, especially from a dead start position or when a driver accelerates. This system can even be disabled for the rare occasions you need to free your vehicle from mud or loose snow by rocking the vehicle back and forth.

The Toyota Anti-Lock Brake System helps prevent wheel lock-up and delivers improved steering control during hard braking. ABS helps the tires maintain a better grip on the pavement during difficult stops.
That’s the easy answer, but today, I would like you to follow me a little deeper down the rabbit hole of ABS to share how it works and its role in the Toyota Star Safety System.
How Does the Anti-Lock Brake System Work?The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is part of the ABS system, which receives and measures data from the ABS wheel speed sensors. These sensors are designed to detect the wheel speed difference before it becomes a full-on skid situation.
The ABS helps [...]
Today, I will share one of the breakthrough enhancements making driving much safer than in previous decades. This technology is Toyota’s Electronic Brake-Force Distribution. EBD is designed to optimize the distribution of braking force between a vehicle’s front and rear wheels depending on the load and various driving conditions. Let me add that it’s not just the front and rear; it’s also left to right.
Simply put, EBD is a subset feature of the ABS. EBD helps make up for the shifting weight under hard braking scenarios. It reduces brake pressure on wheels carrying the least amount of weight, helping you maintain control of your vehicle.
