light does not come on
Should a safety system light such
as the ABS and SRS warning
lights not come on when you start
the hybrid system, this could
mean that these s ystems are not
available to help protect you in an
accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately if this occurs.
