pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.

and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless
the front passenger fastens the belt, the
light keeps flashing.

sensors in the seat cushion may detect
the pressure, causing the reminder light to
keep flashing.

the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.

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

is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.

ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than

is turned to the ªONº position. If the anti±
lock brake system works properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds. There-
after, if the system malfunctions, the light
comes on again.

the brake system warning light is off), the
anti±lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.

the brake system warning light is off), the
anti±lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.

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 ªONº posi-
tion, or the light remains on.

ing.

are completely closed.

tion key is turned to the ªACCº or
ªONº position. After about 6 seconds,

system of the airbag and front seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, front seat belt pretensioner assem-
blies, inflators, 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.
