Toyota Vehicle Intrusion Protection (VIP) is an optional alarm system that flashes the headlamps and taillamps and sounds the horn when a secured Toyota vehicle is broken into. It also disables the starter if someone forcibly enters the vehicle. The system is automatically armed by removing the ignition key from the ignition.

The sophisticated Toyota system is an all-speed design that utilises both brake and engine throttle control. TRAC helps to avoid slippage of the driving wheels by slightly applying the brake on a slipping drive wheel and reducing the throttle to maintain traction according to the road surface conditions. The system eliminates the need for a subtle accelerator pedal operation and helps ensure vehicle control when starting or accelerating on slippery roads.

Based on the VVT-i system, the VVTL-i system has adopted a cam changeover mechanism that varies the amount of lift of the intake and exhaust valves while the engine is operating at high speeds. In addition to achieving higher engine speeds and higher outputs, this system enables the valve timing to be optimally set, resulting in improved fuel economy. When the engine is operating in the low- to mid-speed range, the low- and medium-speed cams of the camshafts operate to move the two valves via the rocker arms. Then, when the engine is operating in the high-speed range, the signals from the sensors cause the engine's control module (ECM) to change the hydraulic passage of the oil control valve (for the variable valve lift), thus changing to the operation of the high-speed cams. Now the lift of the intake and exhaust valves increases, allowing the introduction of a greater volume of air-fuel mixture, as well as the discharge of a greater volume of exhaust gases. As a result, the engine operates at higher speeds and higher outputs when the engine is under more strain.

This system selects the ideal intake and exhaust valve overlap under all engine operating conditions. VVT-i virtually eliminates the traditional compromises between low-end torque and high-rpm horsepower. It also helps enhance fuel economy and reduces emissions so effectively that it eliminates the need for the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) emissions device.

A measurement of cargo capacity. More precise than payload, which factors in optional equipment and people, VCW also factors in accessory weight plus rated cargo and luggage load.
Industry:Automotive
On hybrid models this system anticipates loss of vehicle control in virtually any direction and helps to correct the situation while allowing higher dynamic capability. VDIM constantly calculates vehicle motion based on signals from a yaw rate and deceleration sensor, wheel speed sensors and steering angle sensor.
