(f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light(on some models with tachometer)
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
(g) ABS" Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your anti−lock brake sys-
tem.
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, have your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to the ON" position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
When the ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
brake system operates conventionally but
anti−lock brake system is not assisting
brake performance so that the wheels can
lock−up during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces. Vehicles with rear differential lock sys-
tem
The anti−lock brake system does not oper-
ate when the rear differential is locked. It
is normal operation for the ABS" warning
light to be on at this time.
(h) SRS Warning Light
This light will come on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ACC" or
ON" position. After about 6 seconds,
the light will go off. This means the

pretensioners are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflat-
ors, warning light, interconnecting wiring
and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACC" or
ON" position or remains on.
The light comes on or flashes while

ing, slow down and pull off the road. Stop
the vehicle at a safe place and put the

ling, wait until the light goes off. If the
