Vehicle skid control system

The vehicle skid control system helps
provide integrated control of the sys-
tems such as anti−lock brake system,
traction control, engine control, etc.
This system automatically controls the
brakes and engine to help prevent the
vehicle from skidding when cornering
on a slippery road surface or operating
steering wheel abruptly.
The vehicle skid control activates when
the vehicle speed is more than the follow-
ing speed.
Front drive control lever in "H"
15 km/h
Front drive control lever in "L4"
30 km/h (18 mph)
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the sys-
tem is in the self−check mode but does
not indicate a malfunction.
CAUTION
D
Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle skid control system. Even if
the vehicle skid control system is
operating, you must always drive
carefully and attentively to avoid
serious injury. Reckless driving will
result in an unexpected accident. If
the slip indicator
sounding an alarm sounds, special
care should be taken while driving.
D
Only use tires of specified size. The
(9 mph)
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
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
"Checking and replacing tires" on
page 364 in Section 7−2.)
