TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
WA R N I N G
These lights warn that when there is a
problem somewhere in the traction 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 “TRAC
OFF” indicator light come on, the traction
control system does not work. However,
as conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
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:
The “VSC” warning light and/or “TRAC
OFF” indicator light do/does not come
on after the ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC
OFF” indicator light are left on after the
ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC
OFF” indicator light comes on while
driving without pushing “TRAC OFF”
switch.

The vehicle skid control system activates
when the vehicle speed is about more
than 15 km/h (9 mph).
While the “VSC” warning light and “TRAC
OFF” indicator/warning light come on, the
vehicle skid control system cannot be op-
erated.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the vehicle
skid control is in the self−check mode and
does not indicate a malfunction.CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle 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 acci-
dent. Always keep safety driving in
mind. If the slip indicator light fla-
shes and/or an alarm sounds, spe-
cial care should be taken while
driving.
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 sys-
tem may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer.
VEHICLE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM

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 “TRAC
OFF” indicator/warning light come on, the
vehicle skid control system does not work.
However, as conventional braking operates
when applied, there is no problem to con-
tinue your driving.
If any of the following conditions occur,
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 and “TRAC
OFF” indicator/warning light do not
come on after the ignition is turned to
on.
The “VSC” warning light and/or “TRAC
OFF” indicator/warning light are left on

“TRAC OFF” switch.
Tire pressure warning system
The tire pressure warning system is de-
signed to provide warning when tire
pressure of any one of the tires is criti-
cally reduced while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The low tire pressure warning light
comes on to inform you that such low
tire pressure may hamper driving.
This system is not designed to operate
when the vehicle is stopped. Therefore,
check the tire pressures regularly. The
recommended cold tire pressures, tire size
and the vehicle capacity weight are on the
tire pressure label. (For instruction, see
“Checking tire pressure” in Section 7−2.)
Installed tires should be of the specified
size. They should be of the same size
and construction. If tires other than of the
specified size are used, or if tires of dif-
ferent sizes or constructions are mixed,
the tire pressure warning system will not
function properly.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on while driving, adjust tire
pressure to the specified level. (See
“Tires” in Section 8.)
After the tire pressure is adjusted, the
light should go off after driving at about
more than 30 km/h (19 mph) for some
time. If the light still remains, have the
tire pressure warning system checked at
your Toyota dealer.

The tire pressure warning system does
not function properly under certain cir-
cumstances. In the following cases, the
low tire pressure warning light may not
come on even if the tire pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire
pressure is actually normal.
The tread wear is uneven among the
installed tires.
A compact spare tire, snow tires, or
tire chains are used.
The tire pressure is excessively higher
than specified, or tire pressure is sud-
denly reduced due to bursts or other
causes.
The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road surface such as rough road and
frozen road.
The vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more than 100 km/h (62
mph), and the driving duration is less
than 5 minutes.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM
RESET SWITCH
Pushing this reset button after replac-
ing or rotating tires or wheels memo-
ries the present tire condition as a
standard.
After replacing or rotating the tires or
wheels, perform the initial adjustment as
follows.
1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and
apply the parking brake. Stop the en-
gine.
2. Adjust pressures of all the installed
tires to the specified level. (See “Tires”
in Section 8.)
3. Turn the ignition key to “ON”.4. With the vehicle stopped, push the re-
set switch on the left lower instrument
panel and hold it until the low tire
pressure warning light blinks for three
times.
5. The initial adjustment is completed af-
ter driving at the speeds of 30 km/h
(19 mph) or over for about total 8
hours, when the tire pressure warning
system detects the normal tire pressur-
es.
Do not push the reset switch without ad-
justing the tire pressure to the specified
level. Otherwise, the low tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the
tire pressure is low, or it may come on
when the tire pressure is actually normal.
If you push the reset switch while the
vehicle is moving, the initial adjustment is
not performed.
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the low pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.
