GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (l) Vehicle Stability Control System and Active Traction Control System Warning Light This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the vehicle stability control system and active traction control system. If the "VSC/TRAC" warning light and "VSC OFF" indicator light come on, have your vehicle checked by Lexus dealer as soon as possible. However, it is no problem that the "VSC/TRAC" warning light comes on when the brake actuator temperature becomes high. (For details, see "Active traction control system" on page 280.) The lights will stay on with the ignition key turned to "ON", and will go off after about a few seconds. The lights may stay on for 60 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. It is normal if they go out after a while. Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the lights. It is normal if they go out after a few seconds. When the "VSC/TRAC" warning light and "VSC OFF" indicator light come on, the vehicle stability control system and/or active traction control system do not operate, but there is no problem to continue your driving. (m) Variable Gear Ratio Steering System Warning Light This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the variable gear ratio steering system. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to "ON" and will go off after a few seconds. If the light comes on while driving, the system is not working. Although conventional steering operates when maneuvered, a larger degree of wheel maneuvering (than at the time when the system is functioning properly) is needed when driving at low speed. At this time, the center position of the steering wheel could be changed. Although it is no problem to continue driving, have your vehicle repaired at your Lexus dealer. In the following cases, contact your Lexus 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 driving. The light will flash if you disconnect and reconnect the battery terminal. This is because the system is reset temporarily. However, it is no problem to drive. To turn off the light, drive for a short while. The system will be set automatically and return to normal. 60
