(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 set at ON, 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. (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. 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. The light and buzzer act as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle up the seat belt. Once the ignition switch is set at ON or engine 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 continue flashing. If the vehicle speed rises above 15 km/h (9 mph) with the seat belt unfastened, the buzzer will sound for about 10 seconds. Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 20 seconds. Even if the vehicle speed drops below 15 km/h (9 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 to flash and buzzer to sound. 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. NOTICE Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on-even for one block. It may ruin the engine. 149
