■ Reactivation of the TRAC/VSC/A-TRAC/Trailer Sway Control systems
Even after the TRAC/VSC/A-TRAC/Trailer Sway Control systems have been
turned off, turning the engine switch off and then on again will automatically
reactivate the TRAC/VSC/A-TRAC/Trailer Sway Control systems.
■ Reactivation of the TRAC system linked to vehicle speed
When only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC system will turn on
when vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRAC/VSC systems are
turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.
■ If the brake system overheats
TRAC or A-TRAC will cease operation, and the slip indicator will change from
flashing to being on continuously to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place. (There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
■ Shifting to “4L”
VSC and Trailer Sway Control are automatically turned off.
CAUTION
■ The ABS does not operate effectively when
● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■ TRAC or A-TRAC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC or A-TRAC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
