GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
31 If it comes on while you are driving, stop the vehicle, turn off the
engine, and check for the cause. Look first at the engine drive
belt.

If it is loose or broken, the generator will not charge the
battery properly.

If the belt is OK, there is a problem somewhere in the
charging system.
The engine ignition will continue to operate, however, until the
battery is discharged. Turn off the air conditioning, blower,
radio, etc., and drive directly to the nearest Lexus dealer or
repair shop.
NOTICE:
Do not continue driving if the engine drive belt is broken
or loose.
(f) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road
to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Lexus
dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or
it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for
concern if it then goes out when the engine is accelerated
slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It is
not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must be
checked using the oil level dipstick.
NOTICE:
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on − even
for one block. It may ruin the engine.
(g) Low Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil level is too low. Add oil as
soon as possible. (For instructions, see “Checking the engine
oil level” on page 198.)
NOTICE:
Continued engine operation with low engine oil will
damage the engine.
(h) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp warns that there is a problem somewhere in your
engine electrical system.
If it comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle
checked / repaired by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
(i) Anti-lock Brake System Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in your
anti-lock brake system. When the anti-lock brake system
warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off),
the brake system operates conventionally but without anti-lock
function.
If the light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
