●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.

in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (

When driving
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. 359)
*: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position 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.
