3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically controls

braking and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as

ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery

surfaces, or during sudden or evasive maneuvering, enhancing

vehicle safety.

Refer to ABS (P. 215) and TCS (P. 216).

DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.

Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on

P. 493.

WARNING

■Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability Control as a substitute for safe

driving

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot compensate for unsafe and

reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too

closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because

of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

NOTICE

●The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed:

• Use tires of the correct size specified for your Toyota on all 4 wheels.

• Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all 4

wheels.

• Do not mix worn tires.

●The DSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a tempo-

rary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes.

TCS/DSC Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a

few seconds when the ignition is

switched ON. If the TCS or DSC is

operating, the indicator light

flashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or the brake assist system may

have a malfunction and they may not operate correctly. Take your

vehicle to your Toyota dealer.

DSC OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a

few seconds when the ignition is

switched ON.

It also illuminates when the DSC

OFF switch is pressed and TCS/

DSC is switched off.

Refer to DSC OFF Switch on P. 219.

If the light remains illuminated and the TCS/DSC is not switched off,

take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer. The DSC may have a mal-

function.

DSC OFF Switch

Press the DSC OFF switch to turn

off the TCS/DSC. The DSC OFF

indicator light in the combination

meter will illuminate.

Press the switch again to turn the TCS/DSC back on. The DSC OFF

indicator light will turn off.

3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC

●When DSC is on and you attempt to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or

drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS (part of the DSC system) will acti-

vate. Depressing the accelerator will not increase engine power and freeing

the vehicle may be difficult. When this happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.

●If the TCS/DSC is off when the engine is turned off, it automatically activates

when the ignition is switched ON.

●Leaving the TCS/DSC on will provide the best traction.

●If the DSC OFF switch is pressed and held for 10 seconds or more, the DSC

OFF switch malfunction detection function operates and the DSC system

activates automatically. The DSC OFF indicator light turns off while the DSC

system is operative.

●If the Low Speed Pre-Collision System operates with the TCS/DSC turned

off, the TCS/DSC becomes operational automatically.
