“VSC” warning light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the following systems:
! Traction control system
! “AUTO LSD” system
! Enhanced vehicle stability control sys-
tem
! Downhill assist control system
! Hill−start assist control system
The light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position.
When the systems are work properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, all the
above systems will not work. In such a
case, the brakes will operate when applied
(no electronic assistance will be avail-
able), and it will be possible to continue
driving the vehicle.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
! The warning light does not come on
when the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
! The warning light remains on after the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
! The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
The “AUTO LSD” system aids traction
by using the traction control system to
control engine performance and braking
when one of the front wheels begins to
spin.
This system is used only when wheel
spinning occurs in a ditch or on a
rough surface.
This system is effective in case one of
the front wheels is spinning.
NOTICE
Do not use the “AUTO LSD” system
in conditions other than the above. A
much greater steering effort and more
careful cornering control will be re-
quired.
