Yaris Hybrid 2014 tracktion light flashes + beep when pressing break while stopped?

Basically if I apply 100% break while already stopped my car will beep and flash that light unless I start moving or wait for a few seconds without my foot pressing the break pedal. This started recently and it’s highly annoying.

Already read the owners manual and found no mention of this. Any help will be apprecitiated

Hi. This is normal and can be very useful in situation. Its part of your ESP system which basically controls what the wheels do in relation to your steering input.
The function your seeing here allows you to do a clean hill start, it will beep like this and then you can accelarate and after a short moment it releases. This funcrion only activates upon full decompression of the brake pedal on a stop.
Hope it helps :slight_smile:

Hi, thanks a lot! I have owned this car for more than a year and today was the first time i activated it accidentally​:joy: great to hear it’s nothing to worry about then :slight_smile:

To add:

This started after buying brand new set of tires and equipping them. Not sure if related.
