5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■

If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving

First check the following:

●

Is the fuel empty?

If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.

●

Is the fuel tank cap loose?

If it is, tighten it securely.

The lamp will go off after taking several driving trips.

If the lamp does not go off even after several trips, contact your Lexus dealer as

soon as possible.

■

Electric power steering warning light

When the battery is low or when the voltage drops temporarily, the electric power

steering warning light may come on.

■

Front passenger detection sensor and passenger seat belt reminder and warning

buzzer

●

If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detection

sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound,

even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.

●

If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger, and the

warning light may not operate properly.

■

When the tire pressure warning light comes on

Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pressing the

satellite switch does not turn off the tire pressure warning light.
