Toyota Land Cruiser 2000 Operating Manual page 116

The brake actuator temperature increases
during the active traction control system
or vehicle skid control system operating.
If the brake actuator temperature becomes
too high while the active traction control
system or vehicle skid control system is
operating, a buzzer will start to sound
intermittently to indicate that the active
traction control system can no longer op-
erate. In this case, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place. If the system
continues to operate, the buzzer sound
changes from intermittent to continuous
and at the same time, "VSC/TRAC" warn-
ing light will come on. After the continu-
ous buzzer sound stopped after about 3
seconds, the active traction control system
temporarily stops operating in order to
protect the brake actuator. (Although the
active traction control system does not
operate, there is no problem to continue
your driving.) The system will be automati-
cally restored after a short time and
"VSC/TRAC" warning light goes off if the
accelerator pedal is released.
When the "ABS" warning light come on,
the active traction control system is not
operating.
The "VSC/TRAC" warning light will come
on when the ignition key is turned "ON",
and will go off after a few seconds.

lem if you continue to drive.

CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicles and
power to 4 wheels may not be main-
tained, even though the active trac-
tion control system is in operation.
Do not drive the vehicle under any
light
speed or maneuvering
which will cause the vehicle to lose
traction. 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 road conditions pres-
ent.
