(e) Malfunction indicator lamp
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, have your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
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.
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to the ”ON” position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See
”Fuel gauge” in Chapter 1−5 for instruc-
tions.)
D The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ”ACC” or
”ON” position or remains on.
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
look−up during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces.
b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se-
curely. (See ”Fuel tank cap” in Chapter
1−2 for instructions.)
D The light comes on while driving.
(j) Key Reminder Buzzer
c. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine or automatic transmission electrical
system.
This buzzer reminds you to remove the
key when you open the driver’s door with
the ignition key in the ”ACC” or ”LOCK”
position.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case c, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
(h) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until both side doors
and back door are completely closed.

(f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
1. Apply the parking brake.
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
airbag system is operating properly.
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
2. Open either side door or the back
door.
The open door warning light should
come on.
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.
The warning light system monitors the
front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor
assembly, inflators, warning light, intercon-
necting wiring and power sources.
3. Close the door.
The open door warning light should go
off.
(g) ”ABS” Warning Light
4. Turn the ignition key to ”ACC”.
The SRS airbag warning light should
come on. It goes off after about 6 se-
conds.

somewhere in your anti−lock brake sys-
tem.
