This light warns that the battery is being
discharged.

is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The engine ignition will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the battery is dis-
charged. Turn off  the air conditioning,

the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.

vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
