04 09.01 Emissions lnspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs Your vehicle may not pass a state emission inspection if the malfunction indicator lamp remains on. Contact your Toyota dealer to check your vehicle's emission control system and OBD (On−Board Diagnostics) system before taking your vehicle for the inspection. For details, see "Emissions Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs" in Section 6. (g) 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. (h) "Sequential Manual Transmission" Warning Light (Sequential manual transmission only) This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. After a few seconds, the light will go off. This means the sequential manual transmission system is operating properly. In case the "Sequential Manual Transmission" warning light comes on, pull off the road, stop the engine and contact your Toyota dealer. Although you may be able to drive your vehicle, the vehicle may jerk when shifted or the clutch may not engage properly, causing the vehicle to jerk due to the malfunction. In some cases the shift requirement may be canceled, and the gear may be locked. (i) "ABS" Warning Light The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the anti − lock brake system works 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 does 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 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 "ON" position, or remains on. 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. (j) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until both the doors are completely closed. 2005 MR2 from Aug. '04Prod. (OM17527U) 81
