*: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the ON

position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will

turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may

be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if the

lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

CAUTION

■If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light

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.
