Traction Control System Failure Warning - Toyota Avalon 2000 Operating Manual

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
WARNING
These lights warn that when there is a
problem somewhere in the traction control
system.
The lights will come on when the ignition
key is turned to "ON", and will go off after
about a few seconds.
If the "VSC" warning light and "VSC OFF"
indicator light come on, the traction con-
trol system does not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
