I could write a 5,000 word essay on all the problems with the UI/UX of the VSC and TRAC functions on this car, but I'll just make two quick points:

1. The display should indicate better if TRAC, TRACK, VSC, and/or squiggly line are ON or OFF. Just really basic usability stuff here.

2. The manual never explains what VSC actually does, which makes an already confusing situation worse. RE: Stang70Fastback's last comment, I'm a huge believer in RTFM. I read the entire thing front to back before I did anything more than drive the car home. The section on VSC/TC is a garbled mess. That's on Toyota.

Yes, you figure all his stuff out eventually, but it took me several articles, forum threads, YT videos and experimentation before I understood what was actually going on. That is no way to treat your customer - especially one buying a car that is often used for spirited driving.
