When to Use The Toyota VSC Off

The VSC Off system is an electronic system designed to help you maintain control of your Toyota vehicle under adverse conditions. Disabling this feature will allow you to maneuver your vehicle without restriction if it is incapacitated. If you find yourself and your vehicle stuck and need to get it out as soon as possible, that’s when you use the Toyota VSC Off. Simply push and release the VSC Off button located near your gear shift, and your TRAC will be turned off. Look for the TRAC OFF indicator light near your speedometer. Your VSC Off indicator light will be here as well.

When you want to turn the TRAC back on, just push the button again. To turn off both TRAC and VSC, hold the button for three seconds. The TRAC OFF and VSC OFF indicator lights should appear. To turn both systems back on, simply push the button again. When you turn the engine off, TRAC and VSC will come back on when you restart the engine. If you follow these steps, you should be back on the road in no time at all.
