Brake Pad Wear Limit Indicators; Luggage Stowage Precautions - Toyota 2002 MR2 Spyder Owner's Manual

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
occur, 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.
D
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, or remains on.
D
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light fuming on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.

Brake pad wear limit indicators

The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.

D
Put luggage or cargo in the front box
or luggage space when at all possible.
Be sure all items are secured in place.
D
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.

For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
D
Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage space. It is not designed
for the passenger. The passenger
should ride in the seat with the
seat belt properly fastened. Severe
pads
injuries to an unrestrained passen-
ger can occur during sudden brak-
ing or a collision.
