Vehicle skid control system
The vehicle skid control system helps
to provide comprehensive control of the
systems such as anti−lock brakes, trac-
tion control, engine control, etc. This
system automatically controls the out-
put of the brakes or engine to help
prevent the vehicle from skidding under
adverse condition.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The slip
indicator light will go off after about a few
seconds.
If the slip indicator light is left on after
the ignition is tuned on, have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
If the vehicles is going to skid during
driving, the slip indicator light flashes and
an alarm sounds intermittently.
The vehicle skid control activates when
the vehicle speed is more than 15 km/h
(9 mph).
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the vehicle
stability control is in the self−check mode
and does not indicate a malfunction.
Four−wheel drive models only—
This switch can function only when the
four−wheel drive system is selected.
You can turn off the vehicle skid con-
trol system by pushing the center dif-
ferential lock switch. The “VSC OFF”
and center differential lock indicator
lights will come on. Pushing the center
differential lock switch a second time
turns on the system again. The “VSC
OFF” and center differential lock indica-
tor lights will go off.
