GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
42
When the ”ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning
light is off), the brake system operates conventionally but anti−lock
brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels
could lock up during a sudden brake or braking on slippery road
surfaces.
However, the anti−lock brake system does not operate when the rear
differential is locked. It is normal operation for the ”ABS” warning
light to be on at this time.
(g) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until all the side doors and back door are
completely closed.
(h) Unengaged ”Park” Warning Light
This light warns that the transmission ”Park” mechanism is not
engaged. If the four−wheel drive control is in the ”N” position while
the selector lever is in the ”P” position, the transmission will
disengage and the wheels will not lock.
CAUTION
To restore the park function, shift the four−wheel drive
control out of ”N”.
(i) Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature
Warning Light
This light warns that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is
too high.
If this light comes on while you are driving, slow down and pull off
the road. Stop the vehicle at a safe place and put the selector lever
in ”P” and leave the engine idling until the light goes off. If the light
goes off, you can start the vehicle again. If the light does not go off,
call a Lexus dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
NOTICE
Continued driving with the warning light on may damage the
automatic transmission.
