2022 TOYOTA GR86 power steering

2564-6. Using other driving systems
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle St ability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
The TRC system is also equipped
with the brake LSD function.
■Hill-start assist control
 P.253
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are
operating
The slip indicator will flash while the TRC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing switch to turn the system
off may make it easier for you to rock the
vehicle in order to free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
The TRC OFF indicator will come on.
Press switch again to turn the sys-
tem back on.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety
and performance, the following
systems operate automatically
in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

7-1. Essential information
When trouble arises
press it briefly 3 times or more in
succession.
5 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
by the road.
 If the door can be opened, open
the door and exit the vehicle.
 If the door cannot be opened,
open the window using the
power window switch and ensure
an escape route.
 If the window can be opened,
exit the vehicle through the win-
dow.
 If the door and window cannot be
opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to
the point that the water pressure
inside of the vehicle equals the
water pressure outside of the
vehicle and then open the door
after waiting for the rising water
to enter the vehicle, and exit the
vehicle. When the outside water
level exceeds half the height of
the door, the door cannot be
opened from the inside due to
WA R N I N G
■If the engine has to be turned off
while driving
Power assist for the brakes and steer-
ing wheel will be lost, making the
brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn.
Decelerate as much as possible
before turning off the engine.
If the vehicle is sub-
merged or water on the
road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to
be able to drive on roads that
are deeply flooded with water.
Do not drive on roads where
the roads may be submerged
or the water may be rising. It is
dangerous to remain in the
vehicle, if it anticipated that the
vehicle will be flooded or set a
drift. Remain calm and follow
the following.

engine switch to ON.
9 Shift the shift lever to N and
release the parking brake.
Vehicles with an automatic transmis-
sion: When the shift lever cannot be shifted: P. 1 4 4
■Towing eyelet purpose
The towing eyelet is to be used to tow your vehicle, not to tow other vehicles.
■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will not function, making steering and brak-
ing more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench is installed in trunk. ( P.346)
■Rear towing eyelet
If the towing eyelet is installed to the
rear, it can be used in an emergency to tow a vehicle lighter than your vehicle on
a normal road, using a rope.
■When towing another vehicle
For vehicles with BSD/RCTA, make sure
to turn BSD/RCTA off.
As the radar waves will be blocked by the towed vehicle, this system will not
operate properly.
■When installing a towing eyelet to
the rear
When installing a towing eyelet to the
rear, install it using the following proce-
dure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench,
flathead screwdriver and towing eye- let. ( P.346)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using a
flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag between the screwdriver and the vehicle
body as shown in the illustration.
3 Remove the cover from the bumper.
4 Insert the towing eyelet into the hole and tighten partially by hand.
5 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut wrench
or hard metal bar.
