■
Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and TRC
systems
●
A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.

Reactivation of the TRC/VSC systems after turning off the engine

Turning off the engine after turning off the TRC/VSC systems will automati-
cally reactivate them.
■

Reactivation of the TRC system linked to vehicle speed

When only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC system will turn on when
vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.
■

When the brake system operates continuously

The brake actuator may overheat. In this case, the TRC and VSC will stop
operating, a buzzer will sound and the "TRC OFF" indicator will come on
(non-optitron type meters) or the TRC OFF will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display (optitron type meters). Refrain from using the system until the
"TRC OFF" indicator turns off (non-optitron type meters) or the message
goes off (optitron type meters). (There is no problem with continuing normal
driving.)

If the slip indicator comes on...

It may indicate a malfunction in the VSC or TRC system. Consult your
Toyota dealer.
