GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp This lamp comes on in the following cases. a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See "Fuel gauge" on page 49 for instructions.) b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened securely. (See "Fuel tank cap" on page 94 for instructions.) c. There is a problem somewhere in your engine electrical system, automatic transmission electrical system or electronic throttle control system. If it comes on while you are driving in case "c.", have your vehicle checked/repaired by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the brake system operates conventionally but anti-lock brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden brake or braking on slippery road surfaces. However, the anti-lock brake system does not operate when the rear differential is locked. It is normal operation for the "ABS" warning light to be on at this time. (g) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the side doors and back door are completely closed. (f) "ABS" Warning Light This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in your anti-lock brake system. If the light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. However, it is normal if the light goes out. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and will go off after about a few seconds. The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the engine is started. It is normal if it goes out after a while. Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the light. It is normal if it goes off after about a few seconds. (h) Unengaged "Park" Warning Light This light warns that the transmission "Park" mechanism is not engaged. If the four-wheel drive control is in the "N" position while the selector lever is in the "P" position, the transmission will disengage and the wheels will not lock. CAUTION To restore the park function, shift the four-wheel drive control out of "N". 59
