WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS airbag warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid sys-
tem, 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 your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.
