CAUTION
! Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle stability control system. Even
if the vehicle stability control sys-
tem is operating, you must always
drive carefully and attentively to
avoid serious injury. Reckless driv-
ing will result in an unexpected ac-
cident. If the slip indicator light
flashes, an alarm sounds, and spe-
cial 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 stability control
system may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” on
page 280 in Section 7−2.)
! In situations where the road surface
is covered with ice or snow, your
vehicle should be fitted with snow
tires or tire chains.
If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light blinks and an
alarm sounds intermittently. Special care
should be taken while driving.
The slip indicator light/traction control sys-
tem off indicator light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition key is turned
to “ON”. If you select the traction control
off mode, the indicator light will come on
again.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
! The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition key is turned “ON”.
! The indicator light remains on after the
ignition is turned on.
! The indicator light comes on with the
normal driving mode while driving.
