is selected in “IG−ON” mode, contact your Lexus dealer.
Keep the following in mind when driving:
 The hill−start assist control system operates for 5 seconds
maximally. If both the brake and accelerator pedals remain
undepressed for longer than 5 seconds, the system will
gradually stop operating.
 The hill−start assist control system is not designed for
stopping the vehicle on an uphill slope. When stopping the
vehicle, be sure to depress the brake pedal.

slip indicator light (two−wheel drive models only) and
brake system warning light (yellow) come on. At this time,
the above message appears. (GS430 only—In some
cases, the multi−information display shows either
“CHECK VSC” or “CHECK ECB*” only.)

not work. Although it is no problem to continue driving, have
your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.
