11 02007 FJ CRUISER from Oct. ’06Prod. (OM35873U)
If the light comes on while driving, the
above mentioned systems do not work.
However, as conventional braking operates
when applied, there is no problem to con-
tinue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on
after the ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light remains on after the
ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
When the brake fluid level is too low, the
above mentioned systems will not operate
and the warning light comes on.
(k) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until all the side
doors, back door and back window are
completely closed. (l) SRS Warning Light
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the SRS airbags and seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system∗ and indicator light,
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflat-
ors, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
∗: The front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system includes the front passenger
occupant classification ECU, load sensor
and front passenger ’s seat belt buckle
switch.
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 light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or remains on for more than 6
seconds.
The light comes on while driving.
The SRS warning light will come on and
front passenger occupant classification in-
dicator light will indicate “OFF” if there is
a malfunction in the front passenger occu-
pant classification system.
(m) Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature Warning Light
(fourwheel drive models)
This light warns that the automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature is too high.
If this light comes on while you are driv-
ing, slow down and pull off the road. Stop
the vehicle at a safe place and put the

(n) Unengaged “Park” Warning Light(fourwheel drive models)
This light warns that the transmission
“Park” mechanism is not engaged. If the
four −wheel drive control lever is in the “N”
position while the selector lever is in the
“P” position, the transmission will disen-
gage and the wheels will not lock.
CAUTION
To restore the park function, shift the
fourwheel drive control lever out of
“N”, or the vehicle can move.
(o) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer acts as a reminder to remove
the key when you open the driver’s door
with the ignition key in the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATORS (except the low fuel level
warning light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the side doors, back door or back window.
The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door and back window. The open door warning light should go
off.
4. Turn the ignition key to “ON”, but do not start the engine.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light should
come on.
The following service reminder indica-
tors go off after a few seconds:
Engine oil replacement reminder light
“ABS” warning light
“VSC TRAC” warning light
“AUTO LSD” indicator light
(two −wheel drive models)
“VSC OFF” indicator light
(four− wheel drive models, and vehicles
with rear differential lock)
Slip indicator light The SRS warning light goes off after
about 6 seconds.
There may be the case that the “ABS”
warning light (brake assist system
warning light), “VSC TRAC” warning
light and “AUTO LSD” (two
−wheel drive
models), “VSC OFF” (four −wheel drive
models, and vehicles with rear differen-
tial lock) or slip indicator light stay on
for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It
is normal if they go out after a while.
If any service reminder indicator or warn-
ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

1242007 FJ CRUISER from Oct. ’06Prod. (OM35873U)
The system controls the spinning of the
rear wheels (two−wheel drive models)
or 4 wheels (four −wheel drive models).
At this time, the slip indicator light
blinks.
You may feel vibration or noise in your
vehicle, caused by operation of the
brakes. This indicates the system is
functioning properly.
The slip indicator light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition key is turned
to “ON”. If the indicator light does not
come on when the ignition is turned on,
contact your Toyota dealer.
The brake actuator temperature increases
during continuous operation of the traction
control system and the “AUTO LSD” sys-
tem such as on slippery roads. If the
brake actuator temperature becomes too
high while any of the systems is operat-
ing, a buzzer will start to sound intermit-
tently to indicate that the traction control
system can no l onger operate. In this
case, immediately stop your vehicle at a
safe place.
If the system continues to operate, the
buzzer sound changes from intermittent to
continuous. (The continuous buzzer
sounds for about 3 seconds.) At the time the slip indicator light will
come on and the traction control system
temporarily stops operating in order to
protect the brake actuator. (Although the
traction control system does not operate,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.) The system will be automatically re-
stored after a short time and the slip indi-
cator light goes out.
With rear differential lock: However, it is
a normal operation for the light to be on
with rear differential locked. At this time,
the traction control system does not oper-
ate.

may turn on the light. It is normal if it
goes out after a few seconds.
If the “VSC TRAC” warning light and slip
indicator light come on while driving, the
traction control system does not work.
However, as normal braking operates
when being applied, there is no problem
to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on
after the ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light remains on after the
ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.The active traction control system auto-
matically helps prevent the spinning of
4 wheels when the vehicle is started or
accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power to the 4 wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.TS17015
To activate the system, push the active
traction control switch and shift the
fourwheel drive control lever into “L4”
(parttime fourwheel drive models) or
“LL” (fulltime fourwheel drive mod-
els). At this time, the active traction
control system indicator light will come
on.
To cancel the system, push the active
traction control switch once again.
If the rear differential is locked, the active
traction control system is activated only
when the vehicle speed is less than 6
km/h (4 mph).

The “AUTO LSD” system aids traction
by using the traction control system to
control engine performance and braking
when one of the rear wheels begins to
spin.
This system should be used only when
wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or
rough surface.
This system is effective in case one of
the rear wheels is spinning.

The brake actuator temperature increases
during continuous operation of the “AUTO
LSD” system and the traction control sys-
tem such as on slippery roads. If the
brake actuator temperature becomes too
high while any of the systems is operat-
ing, a buzzer will start to sound intermit-
tently to indicate that the “AUTO LSD”
system can no longer operate. In this

TS17009
The rear differential lock system is pro-
vided for use only when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or
ragged surface.
This differential lock system is effective in
case one of the rear wheels is spinning.
Full −time four −wheel drive models—
Before using the rear differential lock sys-
tem, first shift the four −wheel drive control
lever into “LL” to see if this is sufficient.
If this has no effect, additionally use the
rear differential lock system.
