(a) Brake System Warning Lights
These lights come on in the following
cases when the ignition key is in the “ON”
position.
RED WARNING LIGHT
When the parking brake is applied...
This light comes on when the ignition is
turned on, even after the parking brake is
released. When the vehicle speed exceeds
5 km/h (3 mph), a message “PARK
BRAKE” appears on the multi −information
display, the master warning light flashes
and a warning tone sounds.
When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the regenerative brake system
or electronically controlled brake
system fails...
When the yellow warning light comes on,
the regenerative brake system and/or elec-
tronically controlled brake system is mal-
functioning. Take your vehicle to your
Toyota dealer.
RED AND YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the hydraulic brake system
fails...
If the red and yellow warning lights come
on, it indicates a serious problem and you
can continue driving no longer.
Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The lights do not come on even if the
parking brake is applied when the hy-
brid system is on.
The lights do not come on when the
ignition is turned on with the parking
brake released.
A red or yellow warning light turning on
briefly during operation does not indicate
a problem.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions oc-
curs, immediately stop your vehicle at
a safe place and contact your Toyota
dealer.
The red warning light does not turn
off even after the parking brake is
released with the hybrid system
turned on.
The red warning light stays on.
In either case, this can indicate that
the brakes may not work properly and
your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly
and bring the vehicle to an immediate
stop.
The red brake system warning light
remains on together with the “ABS”
warning light and “CHECK VSC
SYSTEM” warning message.

brake system and vehicle stability
control system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
