rarily drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on
and the warning buzzer may sound.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank

the tire inflation pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization.
( P. 544)
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted
