Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) automatically controls brak-
ing and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as ABS
and TRAC to help control side slip when driving on slippery sur-
faces, or during sudden or evasive maneuvering, enhancing
vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (P. 202) and TRAC (P. 203).
VSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 165.
WARNING
Do not rely on the Vehicle Stability Control as a substitute for safe driv-
ing
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because
of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTICE
The VSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed:
• Use tires of the correct size specified for your Toyota on all four wheels.
• Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all four
wheels.
• Do not mix worn tires.
The VSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a tempo-
rary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes.
