(a) Brake System Warning Light This light comes on in the following cases when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. CAUTION If either of the following conditions occurs, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer. (b) Driver's Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer The light and buzzer act as a reminder to buckle up the driver's seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to "ON", the reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light continues flashing and the buzzer stops after about 6 seconds. If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h (12 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 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 front passenger's seat belt is fastened.
