STARTING AND DRIVING
If the "VSC TRAC" warning light comes on, there may be an
abnormality in any of the following systems in addition to the
downhill assist control system.
D Hill start assist control
D Active traction control system
D Vehicle stability control system
When the system is normal and the ignition key is turned to
"ON", the warning light will come on and will go off after a few
seconds. It is not a malfunction that the warning light may stay
on for 60 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the light.
It is normal if it goes out after a few seconds.
If the "VSC TRAC" warning light and slip indicator light comes
on while driving, the system does not work. However, as
normal braking operates when being applied, it is no problem
to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer:
D The warning light does not come on after the ignition key is
turned to "ON".

HILL START ASSIST CONTROL
The hill start assist control assists you in starting to move
up a steep or slippery hill. When you start to move up the
hill slope, the system helps to prevent the vehicle from
rolling backward in the interval while you move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
D Do not rely excessively on the hill start assist
control.
The vehicle may not be able to start
smoothly on road surfaces or off road surfaces such
as extremely steep slopes or icy roads, on which
sliding can occur very easily.
D Do not use the hill start assist control to stop the
vehicle. The hill start assist control is not designed
as a function for stopping the vehicle on a uphill
slope.
