GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (d) SRS Warning Light The indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags and front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly. The SRS warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assemblies, front airbag sensors, inflators, seat belt pretensioners, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. D When the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position, the light does not come on, remains on or flashes. D The light comes on or starts flashing while driving. If the light stays on, it indicates that the driver and passenger airbags fail. If the light flashes, the seat belt pretensioners fail. (e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp This lamp comes on in the following cases. a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See "Fuel gauge" on page 38 for instructions.) b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened securely. (See "Fuel tank cap" on page 73 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. If this lamp comes on and the engine speed does not increase with the accelerator pedal depressed down to about the middle position, there may be a problem somewhere in your electronic throttle control system. At this time, if you depress the accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle at low speeds. Have your Lexus checked by your Lexus 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. 45
