'04 AVALON U (L/O 0408) "ABS" warning light The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the antilock brake system and the brake assist system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti- lock brake system, the brake assist system, the traction control system and the vehicle stability control system do not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti- lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. Type B D The light comes on while you are driving. A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem. CAUTION If the "ABS" warning light remains on together with the brake system warning light, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer. In this case, not only the anti- lock brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking. DRUM- IN- DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM Your vehicle has a drum- in- disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs bedding- down of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced. Have your Toyota dealer perform the bedding- down. Type A D The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or remains on. 221 2004 AVALON from Aug. '04 Prod. (OM41412U)
