(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or
“START”, the reminder light flashes and
buzzer come on if the driver’s seat belt
is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens
the belt, the light continues flashing and
the buzzer sounds for about 4 to 8 se-
conds.
(c) Front Passenger ’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or
“START”, the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat
and does not fasten the seat belt.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight, the reminder light may flash. (d) Charging System Warning Light
This warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, and goes off when the engine is
started.
When there are problems in the charging
system while the engine is r
unning, the
warning light comes on.
NOTICE
When the charging system warning
light comes on while the engine is
running, malfunctions such as the en-
gine drive belt being broken may have
occurred. If the warning light comes
on, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place and contact your Toyota
dealer.
(e) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure 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
Toyota 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 level dipstick.

(h) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder
Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON” and will go off after
about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after the engine oil replacement,
this light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then flashes for about 12 seconds
with the ignition key turned to the “ON”
position. If you continue driving without
the engine oil replacement, and if the driv-
ing range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles),
the light will come on after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. The
light will remain on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road condition. If the light comes on, re-
place it as soon as possible. You need to reset the light after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the light by
following the procedure below:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position with the odometer
reading shown. (For details, see
“Odometer and two trip meters” on
page 146 in this Section.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion while holding down the trip meter
reset button.
Hold down the button until the light goes
off. Before the light goes off, it illuminates
for 3 seconds, flashes for 2 seconds and
illuminates for 1 second.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
remain flashing.
(i) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. If the anti −
lock brake system and the brake assist
system work properly, the light turns off
after a few seconds. Thereafter, if either
of the systems malfunctions, the light
comes on again. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
following systems do not operate, but the
brake system still operates conventionally.
Anti
−lock brake system
Brake assist system
Traction control system
(two −wheel drive models)
Active traction control system
(four −wheel drive models)
“AUTO LSD” system
(two −wheel drive models)
Vehicle stability control system
Downhill assist control system
(four −wheel drive models)
Hill −start assist control system
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate,
so that the wheels will lock up during a
sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.

tors go off after a few seconds:

“VSC TRAC” warning light
Low tire pressure warning light
“RSCA OFF” indicator light
“AUTO LSD” indicator light
(two −wheel drive models)
“VSC OFF” indicator light
(four− wheel drive models)
Slip indicator light
Height control indicator lights
Downhill assist control system indicator
light (four −wheel drive models)
Height control “OFF” indicator light
The SRS warning light goes off after
about 6 seconds.
There may be the case that the “ABS”
warning light (brake assist system
warning light), “VSC TRAC” warning
light and “AUTO LSD” (two −wheel drive
models), “VSC OFF” (four −wheel drive
models) or slip indicator light stay on
for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It
is normal if they go out after a while.

ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
