'99 Rav4.U (f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up the tank as soon as possible. On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual. (g) "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 Toyota dealer as soon as possible. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. After a few seconds, the light will go off. 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 can lock- up during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. (h) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the doors, back door (hardtop) and tailgate (soft- top) are completely closed. (i) Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature Warning Light (four- wheel drive models) 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 can start the vehicle again. If the light does not go off, call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. (j) SRS Airbag Warning Light This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position. After about 6 seconds, the light will go off. This means the system of the airbag and front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly. The warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, 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 Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. D The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position or remains on. NOTICE Continued driving with the warning light on may damage the automatic transmission. D The light comes on or flashes while driving. (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.
