(e) Charging System Warning Light
This warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position, and goes off when the engine is started.
When there are problems in the charging system while the
engine is running, the warning light comes on.
NOTICE
When the charging system warning light comes on
while the engine is running, malfunctions such as the
engine drive belt being broken may have occurred. If
the warning light comes on, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
(f) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pressure 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 Lexus
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 oil level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on —
even for one block. It may ruin the engine.

(g) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (forvehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder when to replace the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and will go off after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the
engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3
seconds and then flashes for about 12 seconds with the
ignition key turned to the “ON” position. If you continue driving
without replacing the engine oil, and if the distance driven
exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the light will come on after the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. The light will remain
on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the
engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on, replace it as soon as
possible. The system must be reset after the engine oil replacement.
Reset the system by the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position with the
odometer
reading shown. (For details, see “Odometer and trip
meter” on page 73.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position while holding down
the “ODO/TRIP” button.
Hold down the button for at least 5 seconds. The odometer
indicates “000000” and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing.
