If the light comes on while driving, the
active traction control system does not
work. However, as normal braking oper-
ates when being applied, there is no prob-
lem to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
D The warning light does not come on
after the ignition key is turned to “ON”.
D The warning light remains on after the
ignition key is turned to “ON”.
D The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
The vehicle skid control system helps
provide integrated control of the sys-
tems such as anti–lock brake system,
traction control, engine control, etc.
This system automatically controls the
output of the brakes or engine to help
prevent the vehicle from skidding when
cornering on a slippery road surface or
operating steering wheel abruptly.
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 system is
in the self–check mode but does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
CAUTION
D Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle skid control system. Even if
the vehicle skid control system is
operating, you must always drive
carefully and attentively to avoid
serious injury. Reckless driving will
result in an unexpected accident. If
the slip indicator light blinks and
an alarm sounds, special care
should be taken while driving.
D Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle skid control sys-
tem may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” on
page 319 in Section 7–2.)
