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.
The vehicle skid control system activates
when the vehicle speed is more than the
following speed.
Four–wheel drive control lever in "H"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 km/h (9 mph)
Four–wheel drive control lever in "L"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 km/h (19 mph)
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 malfunciton.

CAUTION
D
Active traction control system, ve-
hicle skid control system and anti-
lock brake system are electronic
systems designed to help the driver
maintain control under adverse con-
ditions. They are not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Factors
including speed, road conditions
and driver steering input can all af-
fect whether active traction control
system, vehicle skid control system
and anti–lock brake system will be
effective in preventing a loss of
control. Always keep safety driving
in mind. If the slip indicator light
flashes, sounding an alarm, special
care should be taken while driving.
D
Only use tires of specified size. The
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 correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
"Checking and replacing tires" in
Section 7–2.)

If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light flashes and an
alarm sounds intermittently.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The slip
indicator light will go off after a few sec-
onds.
