(l) Vehicle Stability Control System andActive Traction Control System Warning
Light
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the
vehicle stability control system and active traction control
system.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC OFF” indicator light
come on, have your vehicle checked by Lexus dealer as soon
as possible. However, it is no problem that the “VSC/TRAC”
warning light comes on when the brake actuator temperature
becomes high. (For details, see “Active traction control
system” on page 288.)
The lights will stay on with the ignition key turned to “ON”, and
will go off after about a few seconds.
The lights may stay on for 60 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position. It is normal if they go out after a
while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the lights.
It is normal if they go out after a few seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC OFF” indicator
light come on, the vehicle stability control system and/or active
traction control system do not operate, but there is no problem
to continue your driving.
(m) Variable Gear Ratio Steering System Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the
variable gear ratio steering system.
The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to “ON”
and will go off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the system is not working.
Although conventional steering operates when maneuvered,
a larger degree of wheel maneuvering (than at the time when
the system is functioning properly) is needed when driving at
low speed. At this time, the center position of the steering
wheel could be changed. Although it is no problem to continue
driving, have your vehicle repaired at your Lexus dealer.
In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer:
 The warning light does not come on after the ignition key is
turned to “ON”.
 The warning light remains on after the ignition key is turned
to “ON”.
 The warning light comes on while driving.
The light will flash if you disconnect and reconnect the battery
terminal. This is because the system is reset temporarily.
However, it is no problem to drive. To turn off the light, drive for
a short while. The system will be set automatically and return
to normal.
