When Driving
This indicator light stays on for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched ON. If the TCS or DSC is
operating, the indicator light
flashes.
If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or the brake assist system may
have a malfunction and they may not operate correctly. Take you r
vehicle to your Toyota dealer.
● In addition to the indicator light flashing, a slight lugging s ound will come
from the engine. This indicates that the TCS/DSC is operating p roperly.
● On slippery surfaces, such as fresh snow, it will be impossible to achieve
high rpm when the TCS is on.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.
The Dynamic Stability Control ( DSC) automatically controls
braking and engine torque in c onjunction with systems such as
ABS and TCS to help control si de slip when driving on slippery
surfaces, or during sudden or e vasive maneuvering, enhancing
vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS ( P. 215) and TCS ( P. 216).
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Dynamic Stabil ity Control as a substitute for safe
driving
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot compensate for unsaf e and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following anothe r vehicle too
closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because
of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTICE
● The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are obse rved:
• Use tires of the correct size specified for your Toyota on all 4 wheels.
• Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
• Do not mix worn tires.
● The DSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a tempo-
rary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes.

3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC
●When DSC is on and you attempt to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS (part of the DSC s ystem) will acti-
vate. Depressing the accelerator will not increase engine power and freeing
the vehicle may be difficult. When this happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.
● If the TCS/DSC is off when the engine is turned off, it automat ically activates
when the ignition is switched ON.
● Leaving the TCS/DSC on will provide the best traction.
● If the DSC OFF switch is pressed and held for 10 seconds or mor e, the DSC
OFF switch malfunction detection function operates and the DSC system
activates automatically. The DSC OFF indicator light turns off while the DSC
system is operative.
● If the Low Speed Pre-Collision System operates with the TCS/DSC turned
off, the TCS/DSC becomes operational automatically.

3-8. Drive Selection
Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)
●When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speed s increases
and it may increase fuel consumption. Toyota recommends that you cancel
the sport mode on normal driving.
● Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
• ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
• Cruise control is operating.
• Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Press the drive selection switch to
the side (forward) to select
the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to
the side (backward) to cancel
the sport mode.
●In the following cases, the drive selection is canceled.
• The ignition is switched OFF.
• Cruise control is set.
● Depending on the driving conditions when sport mode is selected , the vehi-
cle may perform shift-down or slightly accelerate.
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle’s drive mode.
When the sport mode is selected, vehicle’s response against
accelerator operation is enhanc ed. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing
other vehicles.
WARNING
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such a s wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire slipping.

3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
3
When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The system monitors the tire pres-
sures indirectly using the data
sent from the ABS wheel speed
sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to b e ini-
tialized with the specified tire pressure (value on the tire pressure
label). Follow the procedure and perform the initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitorin g System Initialization on P. 244.
The warning light flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 173.
: If equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitoring S ystem (TPMS) monitors the air
pressure of all four tires. If the air pressure of one or more tires
is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light in the combination
meter and operating a beep sound.
