CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and SRS airbag warning lights not come
on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are not available
to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.
■Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions or suspected prob-
lem in any of the vehicle’s systems. (→P. 3 4 1 )
*: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to IG-ON mode
to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may be a mal-
function in a system if a light does not come on, or if the lights do not turn
off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
