Vehicle skid control system failure
warning
These lights warn that when there is a
problem somewhere in the vehicle skid
control system, traction control system
(two−wheel drive models) or active trac-
tion control system (four−wheel drive mod-
els).
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“TRAC OFF” (two−wheel drive models) or
“VSC OFF” (four−wheel drive models) indi-
cator light come on, have your vehicle
checked by Toyota dealer as soon as pos-
sible. However, it is no problem that the
“VSC/TRAC” warning light comes on when
the brake actuator temperature becomes
high. (For details, see “Traction control
system” on page 140 and “Active traction
control system” on page 142 in this sec-
tion.)
While the “ABS” warning light comes on,
the vehicle skid control system, traction
control system (two−wheel drive models)
or active traction control system (four−
wheel drive models).
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “TRAC
OFF” (two−wheel drive models) or “VSC
OFF” (four−wheel drive models) indicator
light will come on when the ignition key
is turned to “ON”, and will go off after a
few seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“TRAC OFF” (two−wheel drive models) or
“VSC OFF” (four−wheel drive models) indi-
cator light come on, the vehicle skid con-
trol system does not operate, but there is
no problem to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
! The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“TRAC OFF” (two−wheel drive models)
or “VSC OFF” (four−wheel drive mod-
els) indicator light do not come on af-
ter the ignition is turned on.
! The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“TRAC OFF” (two−wheel drive models)
or “VSC OFF” (four−wheel drive mod-
els) indicator light are left on after the
ignition is turned on.
CAUTION
! Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle skid control system. Even if
the vehicle skid control system is
operating, it does not completely
eliminate the possibility of an acci-
dent. Always keep safe driving in
mind, as reckless driving increases
the risk of accident. If the slip indi-
cator light flashes, sounding an
alarm, special care should be taken
while driving.
! Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacture, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle skid control sys-
tem may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” on
page 289 in Section 7−2.)
