07 11.20 Vehicle stability control system (two −wheel drive mode only) D The "VSC OFF" indicator light flashes and the slip indicator light comes on while driving. The vehicle stability control system helps provide integrated control of systems such as the 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 when the steering wheel is operated abruptly. The vehicle stability control system is activated 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 begins to move. This means that the system is in self −check mode, but does not indicate a malfunction. CAUTION D Do not rely excessively on the vehicle stability control system. Even if the vehicle stability 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. CAUTION Do not drive with the "AUTO LSD" system continuously turned on. 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 stability control system may not function correctly. When replacing the tires or wheels, contact your Toyota dealer.
