5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
*
: Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer:
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver
and front passenger that their seat belt is not fastened. Once the engine
switch is turned to the ON or START position, the buzzer sounds for 6 sec-
onds. The buzzer sounds once if the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is
unfastened when the vehicle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). Then, if
the seat belt is still unfastened after 30 seconds elapse, the buzzer will
sound intermittently for approximately 10 seconds, followed by a different
tone for approximately 20 more seconds.
■
Key reminder buzzer
The buzzer indicates that the key has not been removed (with the engine
switch in the ACC or LOCK position and the driver’s door opened).
■
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
●
Is your vehicle low on gas?
If it is, refuel the vehicle immediately.
●
Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after taking several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
■
Front passenger detection sensor and passenger seat belt reminder
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.
■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire
pressure warning light.
■
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
