Vehicle Skid Control System - Toyota Land Cruiser 2000 Operating Manual

Vehicle skid control system

The vehicle skid control system helps
provide comprehensive control of sys-
tems such as anti- lock brake, traction
control, engine control, etc. This sys-
tem automatically controls the output of
the brakes or engine to help prevent
the vehicle from skidding under adverse
conditions.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The
indicator light will go off after a few sec-
onds.

If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light flashes and an
alarm sounds intermittently.
The vehicle skid control system activates
when the vehicle speed is more than the

compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the vehicle
skid control is in the self- check mode and
dose not indicate a malfunction.
