'06 HIGHLANDER HB_U (L/O 0503) "ABS" warning light When the ignition is turned on, the "ABS" warning light comes on. It will go off when the "READY" light comes on. If the "ABS" warning light does not come on when the ignition is turned on, contact your Toyota dealer. If the "ABS" warning light remains on after the ignition is turned on or if it comes on while driving, the anti −lock brake system function may not operate properly. Although the brake system operates without the function, drive carefully and have your vehicle checked by a Toyota dealer as soon as possible. For details, see "Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" on page 144 in Section 1−6. BRAKE ASSIST FUNCTION The brake assist function is designed to assist with emergency braking. When the driver suddenly depresses the brake pedal, the device treats it as emergency braking and adds braking force. If you slam the brakes on or apply the brakes more firmly, more powerful braking will be applied. At this time, you may hear a sound in the engine compartment and feel the vibrations of the brake pedal. This does not indicate a malfunction. Warning message "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" CAUTION The brake assist function is not designed to shorten braking distance. Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Depending on road conditions, braking distance may be longer than that of a vehicle without the brake assist device. If tire chains are used, braking distance may become longer. If "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" appears on the multi −information display, the traction control and vehicle stability control functions may not operate properly. Although the brake system operates normally without these functions, drive carefully and have your vehicle checked by a Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
