when the ignition key is turned on.

This light comes on for a few seconds
with the ignition on even after the parking
brake is released.
When the brake fluid level is low...
Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The light does not come on even if the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion “ON”.
The light does not come on even if the
ignition key is turned on with the park-
ing brake released.
If the light lit during driving goes out and
does not come again, it is a normal op-
eration.
CAUTION
If either of the following conditions
occurs, immediately stop your vehicle
at a safe place and contact your To-
yota dealer.
The light does not go out even af-
ter the parking brake is released
during the engine running.
In this case, the brakes might be
failing and your stopping distance
will be longer. Depress the brake
pedal firmly and bring the vehicle
to an immediate stop.
The brake system warning light re-
mains on together with the “ABS”
warning light.
In this case, the vehicle may be-
come harder to control or skid dur-
ing hard braking or braking on slip-
pery road surfaces.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
This light and buzzer remind you to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ONor
“START”, the reminder light flashes and
buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat belt is
not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the
belt, the light keep flashing and the buzz-
er sounds for about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front outside Passenger’s Seat Belt
Reminder Light
This light reminds you to buckle up the
front outside passenger’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to ”ONor
”START”, the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front outside passen-
ger seat and does not fasten the seat
belt. Unless the front passenger fastens
the belt, the light stays on. This light re-
minds you to buckle up the front passen-
ger’s seat belt.
If luggage load is placed on the front
outside passenger seat, depending on its
weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built- in sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to come on.
(d) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the battery is being
discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The engine ignition will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the battery is dis-
charged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.
