Where is the TRC switch in a Toyota car?

Toyota's TRC switch is located on the center console to the left of the steering wheel. TRC stands for Traction Control System, and TRC OFF means the Traction Control System is turned off. Toyota models include: Reiz, Prado, Prius, Corolla, Crown, etc. Taking the Corolla 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and fuel tank capacity 50L. The Corolla 2021 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum power speed of 5200 to 5600 rpm. It is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
In my experience, having driven several Toyota models, the TRC switch location varies quite a bit. It's usually a small button labeled 'TRC' or 'TRAC OFF,' primarily used to toggle the traction control system. Common placements include near the instrument cluster—such as below the steering wheel's right side or beside the audio control area on the center console. For instance, in a Toyota Camry, it might be tucked behind the left steering column stalk. However, if your vehicle is an older model or a higher trim, check among the button clusters by the door. The TRC system is highly useful, preventing wheel spin to enhance safety; it's best left on by default, only turned off when extra control is needed, like on muddy or snowy roads. If you can't locate it, consult the owner's manual or scan the control areas from the driver's seat to avoid distracted operation while driving.
