(k) “VSC” Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle stability control
system or traction control system.
The light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to “ON” and will go off
after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the
system does not work. However, as con-
ventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on
after the engine switch is turned to
“ON”.
The warning light remains on after the
engine switch is turned to “ON”.
The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
Tw o −wheel drive models only—The “TRAC
OFF” indicator light will come on when the
“VSC” warning light comes on even if the
“TRAC OFF” switch is not pushed. (l) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the tire pressure of
one or more of your tires (without the
spare tire) is low. The light comes on
when the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position. It goes off after a few sec-
onds. This indicates that the tire pressure
warning system is functioning properly.
If the warning light comes on, stop your
vehicle in a safe place as soon as pos-
sible and check that the inflation pressure
of all four tires is as specified on the tire
and loading information label. (See
“Checking tire inflation pressure” on page
523 in Section 7
−2.) The light should go
off several minutes after the tire pressure
is adjusted.
If the warning light comes on after blink-
ing for 1 minute, the tire pressure warning
system may be malfunctioning. Contact
your Toyota dealer.
For details, see “Tire pressure warning
system” on page 214 in Section 1 −7. (m) Low Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Warning Light
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 539 in
Section 7 −3.)
(n) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to “ON” and will go off
after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after the engine oil replacement,
this light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then flashes for about 12 seconds
with the engine switch turned to the “ON”
position. If you continue driving without
replacing the engine oil, and if the dis-
tance driven exceeds 8000 km (5000
miles), the light will come on after the
engine switch is turned to “ON” position.
The light will remain on thereafter.

The tire pressure warning light comes on
when the engine switch is in “ON” position
and goes off after a few seconds. This
means the tire pressure warning system is
operating properly. If the tire inflation pres-
sure becomes low, the light comes on
again. In this case, adjusting the tire infla-
tion pressure will turn off the light after
several minutes. If the light comes on
after blinking for 1 minute, the tire pres-
sure warning system is not working prop-
erly.Indicator

CAUTION
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on, be sure to observe the
following precautions. Failure to do
so could cause loss of vehicle control
and result in death or serious injury.
Vehicles with runflat tires:
Decelerate to the lowest appropriate
speed as soon as possible. Do not
drive over 90 km/h (55 mph).

pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Have the
tire replaced by the nearest Toyota

ing. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel or the brakes.
Vehicles with standard tires:
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If the tire is flat, change to
the spare tire and have the flat tire
repaired by the nearest Toyota deal-
er.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and bra-
king. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel or the brakes.

tion in case of a flat tire. The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When treadwear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.

signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.

pact spare tire at the same
