Euro NCAP<br />
An independent assessment programme that evaluates<br />
the safety performance of new cars. Vehicles are<br />
awarded a score from one to five stars. Categories<br />
assessed are adult occupant protection, child occupant<br />
protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist. The<br />
<strong>Corolla</strong> has been awarded the maximum 5-star vehicle<br />
safety rating (2007), as a further testament to <strong>Toyota</strong>’s<br />
dedication to the safety and protection of drivers,<br />
passengers and pedestrians alike.<br />
ISOFIX seat fixing<br />
The seating incorporates special anchor points –<br />
including a top tether that helps prevent the seat<br />
tipping forward – for a safe and convenient way of<br />
correctly securing ISOFIX child seats (available from<br />
your <strong>Toyota</strong> retailer).<br />
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic<br />
Brake force Distribution (EBD)<br />
ABS prevents the wheels from locking while braking.<br />
EBD complements this by optimising brake force<br />
distribution between each wheel. Together the two<br />
systems help the driver to maintain steering control<br />
under heavy braking.<br />
Stop & Start System<br />
Our latest technology automatically stops the engine<br />
when your vehicle is stationary and in neutral at a red<br />
light or in a similar situation, to enhance fuel efficiency<br />
and reduce exhaust gas emissions. It immediately<br />
restarts the engine when you depress the clutch to<br />
resume engine power.<br />
With Stop & Start<br />
= Zero emissions<br />
Standard on 1.33 litre Dual VVT-i engine.<br />
Brake Assist (BA)<br />
Automatically supports emergency braking if the brakes<br />
are applied quickly, but without sufficient pressure on<br />
the pedal. It does this by measuring how fast the brake<br />
pedal is depressed and then, if appropriate, increasing<br />
braking force. When you ease the pressure on the pedal<br />
BA similarly reduces the amount of assistance.<br />
Variable Valve Timing – with intelligence (VVT-i)<br />
Technology that maximises the engine’s performance<br />
by optimising timing of the air intake depending on<br />
whether you are accelerating, cruising or just idling.<br />
Standard on 1.33 litre Dual VVT-i engine.<br />
