HID headlamps use a metal halide bulb as a light source for the low beam. Metal halide bulbs are superior to halogen bulbs because the light emitted is closer in color to sunlight. The light shines ahead over a broader area of the road, as well as farther forward, to help increase driver visibility. HIDs also consume less power and last longer than regular halogen bulbs.

When starting from a stop on an uphill grade, HAC automatically increases brake pressure to all four wheels to reduce rearward rolling while the driver steps on the accelerator pedal.

The HomeLink® System (1) learns the codes for up to three remote-controlled devices through a simple training process. HomeLink can then activate those devices at the push of a button -- all from one unit permanently mounted in the vehicle's sun visor, overhead console or mirror. There's no transmitter clutter in the vehicle, no batteries to change or individual transmitters to misplace. HomeLink is rolling-code compatible, is powered by the vehicle's charging system, can be reprogrammed at any time and can activate home lighting with the available HomeLink Lighting Package.

Refers to Toyota's name for advanced technology hybrid powertrains that combine gasoline and electric propulsion with the ability to operate on one or the other, or both, depending on the driving situation. By enabling the vehicle to operate at its most efficient level, regardless of engine speed, Hybrid Synergy Drive® boosts power output and, at the same time, enhances efficiency and emissions control.
Industry:Automotive
The work process and ethic that involves continuous search for improvement, constantly taking measures to improve work procedures and equipment. Kaizen often involves utilizing teams of employees who revise their work procedures and standards round-the-clock to achieve improvements in efficiency, quality and working conditions.
Industry:Automotive
By detecting high frequency vibrations that are early signs of pinging (pre-ignition) or knocking, a computerized engine control can retard the spark timing until the knock ceases. This allows an engine to take advantage of a high compression ratio (for more power) while reducing the risk of damage from hot weather, increased engine loads or lower grades of gasoline.
Industry:Automotive
Light-Emitting Diode (taillamps) make vehicles more distinctive and reduce power consumption.
Industry:Automotive
Improves traction by splitting torque evenly and preventing one wheel from slipping or spinning. Especially helpful during cornering or other slippery situations (snow, gravel, etc.).

Mounted to the frame and the rear axle, the LSP & BV senses the weight distribution of the vehicle and automatically varies the amount of hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes based on the load in the vehicle. This helps to reduce rear-wheel lock-up with either light or heavy loads to maintain stopping control.
