(j) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder
Light (for vehicles sold
U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the "IG−ON"
mode is enabled, and will go off after
about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after engine oil replacement, this
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then flashes for about 12 seconds when
the hybrid system is in the "IG−ON"
mode. If you continue driving without en-
gine oil replacement, and if the driving
range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the
light will come on after the "IG−ON" mode
is enabled. The light will remain on there-
after.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
in the you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace the oil as soon as possible.
The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:
1. Press the "POWER"
"OFF" mode with the odometer reading
shown. (For details, see "Odometer and
two trip meters" on page 123.)
2. Press the "POWER" switch twice to
select the "IG−ON" mode while holding
down the trip meter reset button.
Hold down the button for at least 5 sec-
onds. The odometer indicates "000000"
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
remain flashing.
(k) "VSC" Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle stability control
system.
The light will come on when the "IG−ON"
mode is enabled and will go off after the
"READY" light comes on.
If the light comes on while driving, the
switch to the
system does not work. However, as con-
ventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
D
The warning light does not come on
after the "IG−ON" mode is enabled.
D
The warning light remains on after the
"READY" light comes on.
D
The warning light comes on while you
are driving.
