Highlander V6 4WD Limited
Benefits 2013 HIGHLANDER
Dual VVT-i
All models are equipped with Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence. With this system, the Electronic Control Module exercises independent control of timing and overlap on both intake and exhaust camshafts—increasing torque at lower speeds and horsepower at higher speeds—optimizing both engine performance and fuel economy. Dual VVT-i is also one of the main contributors to Highlander's Tier2-Bin5 emissions rating.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control
Highlander's Vehicle Stability Control system has been technologically enhanced to help integrate and control the performance of braking functionality along with engine output and steering control. The result: when accelerating, braking or in a potential skid situation, the system is quicker to apply necessary corrective measures.
First Row Seats
Highlander features the roomy comfort of Bucket Seats for the driver and front passenger, complemented by an 8-way Adjustable Driver's Seat (Power Adjustable on Highlander 4WD V6). The Limited adds a 10-way Power Adjustable Seat for the driver, a 4-Way Power Adjustable Seat for the front passenger, and Heated Front Seats for both.
Star Safety System
Toyota's trusted Star Safety System™ combines 6 advanced accident avoidance technologies – Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Smart Stop Technology – into one comprehensive package. Together, they can help you stay out of harm's way.

1 Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control.
2 Brake Assist (BA) is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions.
3 Smart Stop Technology (SST) operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications. When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop Technology is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping.
