Mar 31, 2025Transmission & drivetrainDriver assistance

On this vehicle, whenever 4 Low is selected, or in 4 High (normal driving mode) any off-road driving mode is chosen, a warning appears on the digital instrument cluster stating "VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake System Unavailable". While this warning is up, no other instrument cluster functions can be accessed. Hitting the button to dismiss this warning will only make it go away for five seconds, then it will repeat and once again draw the driver's attention off the road and to the instrument cluster. It serves as a constant distraction and impediment in the most difficult driving conditions. The only way to make it not reappear every 5 seconds is to stop, go into the safety items menus, and disable pre-collision braking which then unnecessarily reduces the safety of the vehicle once it is back in a normal driving mode. This waring which repeats every five seconds must be a software bug, other similar warnings do not return once dismissed.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser verdict →
