\nIf you notice the TRAC OFF light come on your Toyota dashboard, that means you have pressed the TRAC OFF button, likely located on the left side of the steering wheel.

The VSC indicator looks like a vehicle sliding with the word OFF.<\/p>\n

\nWhen your Toyota gets stuck in snow or mud, you may need to disable TRAC or VSC. The systems may reduce power transferred from the engine to the wheels, which is not ideal when you’re stuck. Disabling the systems can make it easier to rock your vehicle and free it from the snow or mud. To turn it off, all you need to do is press the TRAC OFF button. You will know you were successful when the TRAC OFF indicator pops up on your dashboard. Simply push the button again to turn it back on.<\/p>\n
