1999 Toyota Solara Owners Manual - Page 86

SOLARA_U The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for concern if it then goes out when the engine is accelerated slightly. The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick. 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. (i) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the doors and back door are completely closed. (j) Rear Light Failure Warning Light If this light comes on when the headlight switch is turned on (at the first or second clickstop), it indicates that one or more of the tail lights are burned out. If it comes on when the brake pedal is depressed, one or more stop lights are burned out. Have defective bulbs replaced as soon as possible. (k) 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 systems of the airbag and front seat belt pretensioner are operating properly. The warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, seat belt pretensioner assembly, 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. NOTICE Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on-even for one block. It may ruin the engine. (h) "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. D The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position or remains on. D The light comes on or flashes while driving. (l) Low Windshield Washer Fluid Level Warning Light 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.) (m) "TRAC OFF" Indicator/Warning Light This light comes on when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and will go off after a few seconds. This means that the system is operating properly. 86
