2021 Toyota Supra Owner’s Manual

The 2021 Toyota Supra is a sleek and interesting car that catches the essence of driving fun and modern performance. This fifth-generation sports car was made in collaboration with BMW. It pays respect to its famous predecessors while using cutting-edge technology and design. The Supra comes in three different trims, and you can choose between a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that makes the car quick and agile, or a powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine that will make you feel like you’re flying. It has a rear-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed automatic engine, which make driving it fun and dynamic. With performance-boosting features like an adaptive suspension and an active rear differential, the 2021 Supra strikes a good mix between precision and power. Its 3.0-liter engine can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds, which is very exciting. Aside from its speed, the Supra is also connected to the modern world. It works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it has advanced safety features from Toyota’s Safety Sense suite. The 2021 Toyota Supra is both a nod to its long history and a bold step forward in the world of modern sports cars. It is a mix of sportiness and comfort.

General information
There are three driver profiles with which personal vehicle set-tings can be stored. Every remote control has one of these driver profiles assigned. If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote control, the assigned personal driver profile will be activated. All settings stored in the driver profile are automati-cally applied. If several drivers use their own remote control, the vehicle will adjust the personal settings during unlocking. These settings are also restored, if the vehicle has been used in the meantime by a person with a different remote control. Changes to the settings are automatically stored in the driver profile currently activated. If another driver profile is selected via Toyota Supra Com-mand, the settings stored in it will be applied automatically. The new driver profile is assigned to the vehicle key that is currently in use.
There is an additional guest pro-file available that is not assigned to any vehicle key. It can be used to apply settings in the vehicle without changing the personal driver profiles.
