(a) Brake System Warning Light
This light comes on in the following cases
when the ignition key is in the ONº posi-
tion.
When the parking brake is applied...
Vehicles with anti- lock brake systemÐ
This light comes on for a few seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the
ONº position even after the parking brake
is released.
When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The light does not come on even if the
parking brake is applied when the igni-
tion key is in the ONº position.
Vehicles with anti- lock brake systemÐ
The light does not come on even if the
ignition key is turned on with the park-
ing brake released. A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If either of the following conditions
occurs, immediately stop your vehicle
at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
The light does not turn off even
after the parking brake is released
while the engine is running.
In this case, the brakes may not
work properly and your stopping
distance will become longer. De-
press the brake pedal firmly and
bring the vehicle to an immediate
stop.
Vehicles with anti- lock brake sys-
temÐ
The brake system warning light re-
mains on together with the ABSº
warning light.
In this case, not only the anti- lock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely un-
stable during braking.
(b) Driver's Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver's seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to ONº or
STARTº, the reminder light flashes and
buzzer sounds if the driver 's seat belt is
not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the
belt, the light continues flashing and the
buzzer stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front Passenger 's Seat Belt Re- minder Light
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to ONº or
STARTº, the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat
and does not fasten the seat belt. Howev-
er, if a front passenger uses an additional
seat cushion, the light may not flash even
when the seat belt is not buckled up.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built- in sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to keep flashing.
