ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
A sound may be heard from the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the sys-
tem is in the self−check mode. This sound
does not indicate a malfunction.
When the traction control system is oper-
ating, the following conditions occur:
The system controls the spinning of the
D
drive wheels. At this time, the slip indi-
cator light blinks.
The vehicle may vibrate or make a
D
noise due to brake operation. This indi-
cates the system is functioning proper-
ly.
Vehicles without smart entry and start sys-
tem—The slip indicator light comes on for
a few seconds when the engine switch is
turned to the "ON" position. If the indica-
tor light does not come on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the "ON" position,
contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
