STARTING AND DRIVING
"ABS" warning light
The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position. If the anti-lock brake system and the brake assist
system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if either of the systems malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti-lock brake system, the brake
assist system, the active traction control system and the
vehicle stability control system do/does not operate, but the
brake system still operates conventionally.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and 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.

If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates
a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored
by the warning light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
D The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position, or remains on.
D The light comes on while you are driving.
A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the "ABS" warning light remains on together with the
brake system warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
In this case, not only the anti-lock brake system will fail
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
Either of the following conditions may occur, but do not
indicate a malfunction:
D The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position. It is normal if it turns off
after a while.
D Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the
light. It is normal if it turns off after a few seconds.
