Parking brake
"VSC" warning light
When parking, apply the parking brake firmly to
prevent the vehicle from moving unintentionally.
The light warns that there is a problem somewhere in
the vehicle's stability control system or in the anti-skid
system.
Brake: Pull the lever upwards.
To increase the effect of the parking brake, first depress
the brake pedal and keep it depressed while applying
the parking brake.
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position and goes out after a few
seconds.
Release the brake: Lift the lever slightly (1), press the
lock release button (2) and lower the lever down (3).
If the light comes on while driving, the system is not
working. However, the conventional brake system is
functional if it is used, so you can continue driving without
any problem.
An illuminated parking brake light on the instrument panel
warns you that the parking brake is engaged. After the
brake is released, the warning light goes out.
In the following cases, contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or service center, or another properly qualified and
equipped professional: • The warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is

Before driving, make sure that the parking brake is
fully released and that the parking brake light is off.
• The warning light will stay on after turning the
ignition key to the "ON" position.
• The indicator light comes on while driving.
When the "VSC" warning light comes on, the "TRC OFF"
light comes on even if the "TRC OFF" switch is not
pressed.
