When trouble arises
WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or a warning buzzer sounds when a warn-
ing message is shown on the multi-information display (vehicles with
multi-information display)
Check and follow the message shown on the multi-information display. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized r epairer, or any reliable repairer. The
vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system
may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
the turbocharger is abnormally high (diesel engine)
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
■ If the fuel system warning light flashes (diesel engine)
Never drive the vehicle with the warn ing light flashing. Continued driving
with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
