“VSC” warning light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the following systems:
! Traction control 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 downhill assist control system as-
sists the deceleration of the engine
brake when you drive down a steep hill.
When you are driving down a hill,
pushing the “DAC” switch turns on the
system. If the vehicle is traveling at a
speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) or less, you
can descend at a constant speed.
CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on the down-
hill assist control system. It may not
be able to maintain a low speed over
road surfaces or off−road surfaces on
which sliding can easily occur, such
as extremely steep slopes or icy or
muddy roads.
TO ACTIVATE THE DOWNHILL ASSIST
CONTROL SYSTEM
1. In order to make full use of the en-
gine brake, put the transmission se-
lector lever in “L” (forward) or “R”
(reverse).
