(c) Front Passenger's Reminder Light Seat Belt (d) Discharge Warning Light This light warns that the battery is being discharged. If it comes on while you are driving, there is a problem somewhere in the charging system. The engine ignition will continue to operate, however, until the battery is discharged.

If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. 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. This light reminds you to buckle up the front passenger's seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to "ON" or "START", the reminder light flashes if a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless the front passenger fastens the belt, the light stays flashing. If luggage load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, built −in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure, causing the reminder light to come on. D The brake system warning light remains on together with the "ABS" warning light. In this case, not only the anti−lock brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking. 78 2001 CELICA (20766U)
