The driver’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seat
belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds for 30 seconds after the vehicle has
reached a speed of at least 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still
unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
*2: Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt reminders:
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the
driver and/or front passenger that their seat belts are not fastened. The
buzzer sounds for 30 seconds after the vehicle has reached a speed of at
least 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer
will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
Front passenger detection sensor and front passenger seat belt
reminder
If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash even if a front pas-
senger is not sitting in the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a front pas-
senger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
Electric power steering system warning light
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle
immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.

CAUTION
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
When shifting the shift lever (vehicles with a multi-mode manual trans-
mission)
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
