If the vehicles is going to skid during
driving, the slip indicator light flashes and
an alarm sounds intermittently.
The vehicle skid control system activates
when the vehicle speed is about more
than 15 km/h (9 mph).
While the "VSC" warning light and "TRAC
OFF" indicator/warning light come on, the
vehicle skid control system cannot be op-
erated.
You may hear a sound in the engine
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
does not indicate a malfunction.

VEHICLE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM
FAILURE WARNING
These lights warn that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle skid control sys-
tem or 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 "TRAC
OFF" indicator/warning light come on, the
vehicle skid control system and traction
control system do not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when ap-
plied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
