CAUTION
_
Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle skid control system. Even if
the vehicle skid control system is
operating, it is not that your vehicle
is absolutely safe. Reckless driving
will result in an unexpected acci-
dent. Always keep safety driving in
mind. If the slip indicator light fla-
shes and/or an alarm sounds, spe-
cial care should be taken while
driving.
_
Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle skid control sys-
tem may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer.

VEHICLE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM
FAILURE WARNING
These lights warn that when there is a
problem somewhere in the vehicle skid
control system.
The lights will come on when the ignition
key is turned to "ON", and will go off after
about a few seconds.
If the "VSC" warning light and "VSC OFF"
indicator light come on, the vehicle skid
control system does not work. However,
as conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle:
_
The "VSC" warning light and/or "VSC
OFF" indicator light do/does not come
on after the ignition is turned to on.
_
The "VSC" warning light and "VSC
OFF" indicator light are left on after the
ignition is turned to on.
_
The "VSC" warning light and "VSC
OFF" indicator light comes on while
driving without pushing "VSC
switch.
OFF"
