weight and how it is placed on the seat,
builtin sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to come on. (d) Discharge Warning Light

discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.

blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.

miles) after engine oil replacement, this
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then flashes for about 12 seconds with
the ignition key is turned to ”ON” position.

replacement, and if the driving range ex-
ceeds 12000 km (7500 miles), the light
will come on after the ignition key is

main on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
