CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional imme-
diately if this occurs.

turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem) or the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start 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
turn on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for details.
