'98 Tacoma (U) (i) Unengaged "Park" Warning Light (vehicles with automatic transmission) This light warns that the transmission "Park" mechanism is not engaged. If the front drive control lever is in the "N" position while the selector lever is in the "P" position, the transmission will disengage and the wheels will not lock. (k) Low Windshield Washer Fluid Level Warning Light (Canada) The light warns that the windshield washer fluid level is too low. Add washer fluid at your earliest opportunity. (For instructions, see "Adding washer fluid" in Chapter 7- 3.) (l) Light Reminder Buzzer This buzzer will sound if the driver's door is opened while the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position with the headlight switch on. Removing the key will not stop the buzzer as long as the headlight switch is on. (m) Key Reminder Buzzer This buzzer reminds you to remove the key when you open the driver's door with the ignition key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (except the low fuel level warning light and low windshield washer fluid level warning light) 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition key to "ACC". The SRS airbag warning light should come on. It goes off after about 6 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition key to "ON", but do not start the engine. All the service reminder indicators except the SRS airbag warning light should come on. The "ABS" warning light goes off after a few seconds. If any service reminder indicator or warning buzzer does not function as described above, either the bulb is burned out or the circuit is in need of repair. Have it checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. CAUTION To restore the park function, shift the front drive control lever out of "N", or the vehicle can move. (j) Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature Warning Light This light warns that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too high. If this light comes on while you are driving, slow down and pull off the road. Stop the vehicle at a safe place and put the selector lever in "P". With the engine idling, wait until the light goes off. If the light goes off, you may start the vehicle again. If the light does not go off, call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. 73
