Toyota extends brake override feature to provide customer confidence Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine GM to invest $494 million for next-generation Ecotec engines Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine General Motors will invest more than $494 million to produce the next generation fuel efficient Ecotec engine. The investment includes facility renovation, new machinery, equipment and special tooling to support this engine program at the three plants in the U.S. "GM is transforming its product portfolio to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and the next generation Ecotec engine is an integral part of that transformation," said Denise Johnson, vice president ­ labor relations. "The investment in state-of-the-art four-cylinder engines is another example of GM's commitment to replace larger-displacement engines with more compact, advanced four-cylinder engines that optimize fuel savings and performance." The new engines will have additional capabilities to improve fuel efficiency and improve performance through advanced design and by adding technology. The Ecotec engine family is known for its reliability, fuel efficiency and performance. GM Ecotec engines have been on the forefront of delivering leading edge technology including direct injection, variable valve timing and turbocharging.

This braking system enhancement will automatically reduce engine power when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are applied simultaneously under certain driving conditions. The following models have been added to the list of vehicles that will receive the brake override upgrade: 2005-2010 Tacoma and 2009-2010 Venza. In addition, Toyota Canada will provide the brake override system for owners of 2008-2010 Sequoia vehicles. Toyota previously announced that the system would be installed onto the 2007-2010 Camry, 20052010 Avalon, and the 2007-2010 Lexus ES 350, 2006-2010 IS 350 and 2006-2010 IS 250 models. The brake override feature is not an integral part of the campaigns currently being undertaken by Toyota Canada which include Tacoma and Venza models but is being added as an extra measure of confidence for Toyota owners. It will be installed on Tacoma and Venza at the same time as the improvements previously announced for those models are performed. Notification to customers regarding brake override installation for Sequoia will be sent separately. In addition to upgrades on existing vehicles, this feature is scheduled to be incorporated into future new production of most Toyota and Lexus models sold in Canada by the end of 2010. Extension of the brake override system to the expanded range of models is the latest step in Toyota's commitment to building the safest and most reliable vehicles on the road and to ensuring our customers are confident in the cars and trucks they drive.
