The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC
OFF” indicator/warning light come on
while driving.
(m) Vehicle Skid Control System
Warning Light (four–wheel drive
models)
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle skid control sys-
tem or traction control system.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON”, and will go off after
a few seconds.
If the “VSC” warning light comes on, the
vehicle skid control system and traction
control system do not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
If any 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:
The “VSC” warning light does not come
on after the ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light remains on
after the ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light comes on
while driving.

The light warns that the windshield washer
fluid level is too low. Add washer fluid at
your earliest opportunity. (For instructions,
see “Adding washer fluid” on page 267 in
Section 7–3.)
(o) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer reminds you to remove the
key when you open the driver’s door with
the ignition key in the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position.
