(d) Low Engine 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
driving, pull off the road to a safe place
and stop the engine immediately. Call a
Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for
assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on
briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.
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 warns that the engine oil level
is too low. Add oil as soon as possible.
(For instructions, see "Checking the en-
gine oil level" on page 196 in Section
7-2.)
While driving on steep inclines or rough
roads which causes the vehicle to sub-
stantially sway or on curves, this light
may come on due to the movement of
engine oil in the engine.
In normal conditions, due to engine oil
consumption, this light may come on earli-
er than the specified service interval of
the scheduled maintenance. This is be-
cause the engine oil is consumed to the
low level within the scheduled mainte-
nance interval and does not indicate a
problem. (For detailed information, see
"Facts about engine oil consumption" on
page 130 in Section 2.)
NOTICE
Continued driving with low engine oil
will cause the engine to be damaged.
(f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Gasoline engine-
This lamp warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your engine electrical sys-
tem, automatic transmission electrical sys-
tem or electronic throttle control system.
If it comes on while you are driving, have
your vehicle checked/repaired by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-
er, if you depress the accelerator pedal
more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
