goes out after a few seconds.

indicator light come on while driving, the
traction control system does not work.
However, as normal braking
when being applied, there is no problem
to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:

Active traction control system

(four−wheel drive models with
rear differential lock)
The active traction control system auto-
matically helps prevent the spinning of
4 wheels when the vehicle is started or
accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power to the 4 wheels cannot be
operates
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.

To activate the system, push the active
traction control switch and shift the
four−wheel drive control lever into "L4"
(part−time four−wheel drive models) or
"LL" (full−time four−wheel drive mod-
els). At this time, the active traction
control system indicator light will come
on.
To cancel the system, push the active
traction control switch once again.
If the rear differential is locked, the active
traction control system is activated only
when the vehicle speed is less than 6
km/h (4 mph).
