CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately
if this occurs.
Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. (P. 312)
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They
will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if
the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
*2: The light comes on when the airbag manual on-off switch turned to
the “OFF” position.

2-4. Using other driving systems
Driving assist systems
When the VSC/TRC systems are operating
The slip indicator light flashes to
indicate that the VSC/TRC sys-
tems are operating.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation.
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
TRC (Traction Control) (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
EPS (Electric Power Steering) (if equipped)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and TRC
systems
A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly while the ABS is operating.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
EPS operation sound
When the steering wheels is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may
be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
CAUTION
The ABS does not operate effectively when
Tires with inadequate gripping ability are used (such as excessively worn
tires on a snow covered road).
The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.

160 2-4. Using other driving systems
AYGO_WE_99E96E
CAUTION
Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the following situ-
ations:
When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains
When driving over bumps in the road
When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces
TRC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC system is operating.
Be especially careful and drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and
power may be lost.
When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
Replacing tires
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the ABS, VSC and TRC systems not to function
correctly.
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity.
Do not use tires of noticeably different wear level.
Make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation
pressure level. (P. 353)
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

Frequently asked questions
: If equipped
QuestionAnswerSolution
There is a dif-
ference in
sound quality
between the
different audio
sources (radio,
CD...).For optimum sound quality,
the audio settings (volume,
bass, treble, loudness) can
be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may
result in audible differences
when changing source
(radio, CD...).Check that the audio set-
tings (volume, bass, treble,
loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is
advisable to adjust audio
settings (bass, treble, left-
right balance) to the middle
position, select the musical
ambience and set the loud-
ness correction to the active
position in CD mode or to
the inactive position in radio
mode.
The quality of
reception of
the radio sta-
tion listened to
gradually dete-
riorates or the
stored stations
do not function
(no sound,
87.5 MHz is
displayed...).The vehicle is too far from
the transmitter used by the
station listened to or there is
no transmitter in the geo-
graphical area through which
the vehicle is travelling.Activate the RDS function to
enable the system to check
whether there is a more
powerful transmitter in the
geographical area.
The environment (hills, build-
ings, tunnels, basement car
parks...) block reception,
including in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal
and does not indicate a fail-
ure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has
been damaged (for example
when going through a car
wash or into an underground
car park).Have the aerial checked by
any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
