In this case, not only the anti- lock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely un-
stable during braking.
With the vehicle stability control system—
Any of the following conditions may oc-
cur, but do not indicate the malfunc-
tion:
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 warning light and
buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off
and the buzzer stops sounding after a
few seconds.
D
You may hear a small sound in the
engine compartment after the engine is
started or the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating
sound of the brake system, and it is
not a malfunction.

(b) Driver's Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver's seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"START", the reminder light flashes and
buzzer sounds if the driver's seat belt is
not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the
belt, the light continues flashing and the
buzzer stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front Passenger's Seat Belt
minder Light
Bench seat—
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"START", the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat
and does not fasten the seat belt. Howev-
er, if a front passenger uses an additional
seat cushion, the light may not flash even
when the seat belt is not buckled up.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built- in sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to flash.
Separate seats—
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or
"START", the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat
and does not fasten the seat belt.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight, the reminder light may flash.
Re-
(d) 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.
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.
