CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS or the SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 348)
*1: These lights turn on when the “POWER” switch is turned to ON
mode to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will
turn off after the hybrid system is started, or after a few seconds.
There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,
or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer for details.
