'06 Rav4_U (L/O 0601) (c) Front Passenger's Seat minder Light and Buzzer Belt Re- (d) Charging System Warning Light This warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, and goes off when the engine is started. When there are problems in the charging system while the engine is running, the warning light comes on. The light and buzzer act as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle up the 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. However, if a front passenger uses an additional seat cushion, the light may not flash even when the seat belt is not buckled up. If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h (12 mph) with the seat belt unfastened, the buzzer will sound for 30 seconds. Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds. Even if the vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h (12 mph), the buzzer will continue to sound. To stop the buzzer, fasten the seat belt. If the buzzer still sounds, make sure the driver's seat belt is fastened. If luggage or other load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight the reminder light may flash. 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. NOTICE When the charging system warning light comes on while the engine is running, malfunctions such as the engine drive belt being broken may have occurred. If the warning light comes on, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer. (e) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light This light warns that the engine oil pressure is too low. 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. NOTICE Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on-even for one block. It may ruin the engine. (f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp This lamp comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and goes off after the engine starts. This means that the warning light system is operating properly. If the lamp remains on, or the lamp comes on while driving, first check the followings. D Empty fuel tank If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immediately. 131 2005 RAV4 from Jan. '06 Prod. (OM42620U)
