TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
WARNING
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle skid control sys-
tem or traction control system.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON”, and will go off after
about a few seconds.
If the “VSC” warning light comes on, the
vehicle skid control system and traction
control system do not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle:
The “VSC” warning light does not come
on after the ignition is turned on.
The “VSC” warning light is left on after
the ignition is turned on.
The “VSC” warning light comes on
while driving.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power to 4 wheels cannot be main-
tained, even though the traction con-
trol system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which will
cause the vehicle to lose traction. In
situations where the road surface is
covered with ice or snow, your ve-
hicle should be fitted with snow tires
or tire chains. Always drive at ap-
propriate and cautious pace.
The vehicle skid control system helps
integrated control of several systems
such as an anti–lock brake system,
brake assist system, traction control,
engine control, etc. This system auto-
matically controls the output of the
brakes or engine to help prevent the
vehicle from skidding when cornering
on a slippery road surface or abrupt
steering wheel operation occurs.
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 does not come on
when the ignition is turned on, contact
your Toyota dealer.
