CAUTION
!
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level
is low.
If the brake fluid level is correct...
Have the warning system checked by
your Toyota dealer.
(b) Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzz-
er
Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"START", the reminder light and buzzer
come on if the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened. Unless the driver fastens the belt,
the light stays on and the buzzer stops af-
ter about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the battery is being
discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
72
The engine ignition will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the battery is dis-
charged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to the
nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving if the
engine drive belt is broken or loose.
(d) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driv-
ing, pull off the road to a safe place and
stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota
dealer or qualified repair shop for assis-
tance.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on brief-
ly after a hard stop. There is no cause for
concern if it then goes out when the en-
gine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to indi-
cate low oil level, and the oil level must be
checked using the level dipstick. The en-
gine oil level also must be checked on the
see-through oil reservoir tank.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one
block. It may ruin the engine.
(e) Low Engine Oil Level Warning
Light
The light comes on and stays on when the
engine oil level is too low. Add oil as soon
as possible. (For instructions, see
"Checking the engine oil level" in Chapter
7-2)
NOTICE
Continued engine operation with
low engine oil will damage the
engine.
If the light flashes, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. There may be
a trouble in this system.
