(a) Brake System Warning Light
This light comes on in the following cases when the ignition key
is in the “ON” position.
When the parking brake is applied ...
When the brake fluid level is low ...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving normally when the
brake fluid level is low.
Have your vehicle checked at your Lexus dealer in the
following case:
The light does not come on even if the parking brake is
applied when the ignition key is in the “ON” position.
CAUTION
If the light does not turn off even after the parking brake
is released while the engine is running, immediately
stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus
dealer. In this case, the brakes may not work properly
and your stopping distance will become longer.
Depress the brake pedal firmly and bring the vehicle to
an immediate stop.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and
Buzzer
This light and buzzer remind you to buckle up the driver’s seat
belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the
reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light
keeps flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front Passenger’s Seat Belt Reminder
Light
This light reminds you to buckle up the front passenger’s 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 luggage load is placed on the front passenger seat,
depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built–in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure,
causing the reminder light to come on.
