ture.
*2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and the SRS airbag 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 immediately if this occurs.

vehicle’s systems. ( P. 576)

warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire

minutes.
