TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC)
announced that its Brake Assist, which helps apply proper braking power, can now as a world's
first, coordinate with a vehicle's GPS navigation system.

>»«< When approaching an intersection the system activates aural and visual alerts to inform
the driver to stop.

>»«< Depending on the vehicle’s relative position to the stop sign a variety of warnings occur, if
the vehicle fails to decelerate additional warnings are given.

>»«< By determining the vehicle position and actual force the driver applies to the brakes, the
system can decide if additional braking power is needed.

>»«< Currently undergoing testing in Japan, Toyota hopes to offer the system there in the near
future as part of their continuing efforts to help prevent collisions.
