ASR/DSCThese systems enhance safety during normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and repair procedures provided by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
In order to ensure that these systems remain effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow or all-season tyres is recommended. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for your vehicle.All tyre specifications are listed on the tyre/paint label. For more information on Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.

Intelligent traction control
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system to help with driving on snow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of poor surface grip that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, the system limits the amount of wheel spin to provide the best traction and trajectory control for the vehicle.
NOTIC E
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of grip.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (VSC) must not have any faults.The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h).If the system detects that the trailer is snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise the trailer and reduces engine power, if necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel and the brake lamps coming on).For information on weights and towed loads, refer to the Engine technical data and towed loads section or your vehicle’s registration certificate.To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and drive carefully!Have it checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNI NG
The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under normal driving conditions, when following the recommendations for use of trailers and current legislation in force in your country. It must not encourage the driver to take extra risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load, exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at excessive speed.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.

Toyota Traction Select
(Depending on version)A special, patented traction control system, which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).When combined with all-season Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability.The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (VSC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.
NOTIC E
Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 80 km/h (50 mph))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
