D The brake warning light does not turn

off even after the parking brake is re-

leased while the engine is running.

(a) Brake System Warning Light and

Buzzer

D The brake system warning light re-

mains on together with the ABS warn-

ing light.

This light comes on in the following cases

when the ignition switch is set to ON.

system will fail and the vehicle will

become extremely unstable during

braking.

D When the parking brake is applied...

This light comes on for a few seconds when

the ignition switch is set to ON even after the

parking brake is released.

If the vehicle speed rises above 5 km/h with

the parking brake applied for 1 second or

more, a buzzer sounds.

(b) Driver’s Seatbelt Reminder Light

driver fastens the belt, the light continues

flashing.

CAUTION

It is dangerous to continue driving nor-

mally when the brake fluid level is low.

If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h with

the seatbelt unfastened, the buzzer will

sound for 30 seconds. Then, if the seatbelt

is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in

a different tone for 90 more seconds. Even

if the vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h, the

buzzer will continue to sound. To stop the

buzzer, fasten the seatbelt.

tem while the engine is running, the warning

light comes on.

At this time, vibration may occur. However,

if you depress the accelerator pedal more

firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle

at low speeds. Have your vehicle checked by

your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
