CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS or the SRS airbag warning
light not come on when you start the engine, 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. 381)
*: These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system) or
the engine switch is turned to “ON” position (vehicles without smart
key system) 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 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.
