'00 AVALON U (L/O9908) CAUTION D Do not rely excessively on the vehicle skid control system. Even if the vehicle skid control system is operating, it is not that your vehicle is absolutely safe. Reckless driving will result in an unexpected accident. Always keep safety driving in mind. If the slip indicator light flashes and/or an alarm sounds, special care should be taken while driving. If either 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: D The "VSC" warning light and/or "VSC OFF" indicator light do/does not come on after the ignition is turned to on. D The "VSC" warning light and "VSC OFF" indicator light are left on after the ignition is turned to on. D The "VSC" warning light and "VSC VEHICLE SKID CONTROL FAILURE WARNING SYSTEM OFF" indicator light comes on while driving without pushing "VSC OFF" switch. 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 system may not function correctly. When replacing the tires or wheels, contact your Toyota dealer. These lights warn that when there is a problem somewhere in the vehicle skid control system. The lights 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 and "VSC OFF" indicator light come on, the vehicle skid control system does not work. However, as conventional braking operates when applied, there is no problem to continue your driving. 167
