*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may be a mal-
function in a system if a light does not come on, or turn off. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*2: This light illuminates on the multi-information display.
*3: This light does not turn on when the system is disabled.
*4: This light turns on when the system is off.
*5: This light flashes to indicate that the system is operating.
*6: These indicators will illuminate in the following situations to indicate that
the system initial check is being performed:
• When the BSM function or RCTA function is enabled and the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
• When the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode and the BSM function
is enabled.
• When the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode and the RCTA func-
tion is enabled. (At this time, a buzzer will also sound.)
The indicators will turn off after a few seconds. If the indicators do not
illuminate or turn off, or if a buzzer does not sound when the RCTA func-
tion is enabled, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning 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 engine, this could mean that these systems 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 immedi-
ately if this occurs.
