■Hill- start assist control does  not operate effectively when
● Do  not  overly  rely  on  hill-start  assist  control.  Hill-start  ass ist  control  may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered wit h ice.
● Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not inte nded to hold the
vehicle  stationary  for  an  extended  period  of  time.  Do  not  attempt  to  use
hill-start  assist  control  to  hold  the  vehicle  on  an  incline,  as   doing  so  may
lead to an accident.
■ When the TRAC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■ When the TRAC/VSC systems are turned off

tions. As  these  are  the  systems  to  help  ensure  vehicle  stability  and  driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■ Secondary Collision Brake
Do  not  overly  rely  solely  upon  the  Secondary  Collision  Brake. This  system
is  designed  to  help  reduce  the  possibility  of  further  damage  du e  to  a  sec-
ondary  collision,  however,  that  effect  changes  according  to  various  condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious injury.
■ Replacing tires
Make  sure  that  all  tires  are  of  the  specified  size,  brand,  trea d  pattern  and
total  load  capacity.  In  addition,  make  sure  that  the  tires  are  inflated  to  the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact  your  Toyota  dealer  for  further  information  when  replaci ng  tires  or
wheels.
■ Handling of tires and the suspension
