7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■High coolant temperature warning light (warning buzzer)*
*: This light illuminates on the multi-information display.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on a front passenger seat, the front passenger detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound even if a passenger is not
sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger, and the warning
light may not operate properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp w ill come on if the fuel tank becomes completely empty. If
the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
■Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily drops, the electric power steering system warning lig ht may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■Tire pressure warning light
When a malfunction occurs in the tire pressure warning system, the tire pressure warning light blinks to warn the driver. However, if the warning light blinks for 1 minute, and then
remains illuminated, maki ng it difficult to determine whether the warning light is blinking, turn the engine switch fr om off to IGNITION ON mode and check if the warning light blinks.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered sufficiently.
●Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
●If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes, check that the tire inflation
pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization. ( P.335)
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted without first
allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on du e to natural causes such as natural air leaks
and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
