The indicators inform the driver of the operating state of the
vehicle’s various systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to
indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the hybrid system is on, 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.
