(e) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
(f) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are
driving, pull off the road to a safe place
and stop the engine immediately. Call a
Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for
assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on
briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one block.
It may ruin the engine.
(g) ”ABS” Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your anti−lock brake sys-
tem.
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, have your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to the ”ON” position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
When the ”ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
brake system operates conventionally but
anti−lock brake system is not assisting
brake performance so that the wheels can
lock−up during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces.(h) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until all the doors
and back door are completely closed.
When the ignition switch is ”OFF” and this
light stays lighting on, the light will turn off
automatically after 30 minutes with the light
flashing five times. See ”Personal lights” and
”Interior light” for details in chapter 1−4.
(i) Open Power Sliding Door Warning
Light and Buzzer
This light comes on if the power sliding
door is not completely closed with the
ignition key in the “ON” position.
If you forcibly close the power sliding door
by your hand when the ignition key is in
the “ON” position, the open power sliding
door warning light will stay on. In this
case, try again closing the power sliding
door by hand slowly, or use one of the
“PWR DOOR” switches or wireless remote
control transmitter.
If you shift out of “P” when the power
sliding door is opened or in the process
of closing with the power sliding door sys-
tem on, a buzzer will sound and the open
power sliding door warning light will flash.
This is a warning that the sliding door is
not completely closed.
