and will go off after a few seconds.

light come on, the vehicle skid control system and traction
control system do not work. However, as conventional braking
operates when applied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.

malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning
light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible
to service the vehicle:

or maneuvering conditions which will cause the vehicle
to lose traction. In situations where the road surface is
