4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■When the VSC and Trailer  Sway Control are activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully.
Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes.
■
Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the same size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make  sure that the tires are inflated to
the specified tire pressure level.
The  Multi Terrain ABS, Active TRAC,  VSC and Trailer Sway Control will
not function correctly if differen t tires are fitted on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for furt her information when replacing tires
or wheels.
■Handling of tires and suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will
affect the driving assist systems,  and may cause the system to malfunc-
tion.
■ Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ-
ations. Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle,
trailer, road surface, and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Control sys-
tem may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for informa-
tion on how to tow your trailer properly.
■ If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.
● Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to
reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle
and trailer should stabilize. ( →P. 195)

In case of either airbag deployment  or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding agent receives the ve hicle’s location and attempts to
speak with the vehicle occupants to  assess the level of emergency.
If the occupants are unable to  communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to descri be the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.

ities to assist them in  locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Safety  Connect response center at 1-800-
331-4331 and follow the prompts for Safety Connect to initiate this
