SECTION 1− 7


114

“START”—Starter motor on. The keywill return to the “ON” position whenreleased.

For starting tips, see page 199 in Section3.

“ON”—Engine on and all accessorieson.

This is the normal driving position.

“ACC”—Accessories such as the radiooperate, but the engine is off.

If you leave the key in the “ACC” or“LOCK” position and open the driver’sdoor, a buzzer will remind you to removethe key.

“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steeringwheel is locked. The key can be re-moved only at this position.

You must push in the key to turn the keyfrom “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. Onvehicles with an automatic transmission,the selector lever must be put in the “P”position before pushing the key.

Once you remove the key, the engine im-mobilizer system is automatically set. (See“Engine immobilizer system” on page 12in Section 1−2.)

When starting the engine, the key mayseem stuck at the “LOCK” position. Tofree it, first be sure the key is pushed allthe way in, and then rock the steeringwheel slightly while turning the key gently.

Approximately five hours after the engineis turned off, you may hear sound comingfrom underneath the trunk for several min-utes. This is normal operation and doesnot indicate a malfunction. (See “Leakdetection pump” on page ix.)

It is not a malfunction even if the needleson all meters and gauges move slightlywhen the key is turned to the “ACC”,“ON” or “START” position.

CAUTION

For manual transmission:

Never remove the key when the ve-hicle is moving, as this will lock thesteering wheel and result in loss ofsteering control.

NOTICE

Do not leave the key in the “ON”position if the engine is not running.The battery will discharge and theignition could be damaged.

Ignition switch


115

Your automatic transmission has a shiftlock system to minimize the possibility ofincorrect operation. This means you canonly shift out of “P” position when thebrake pedal is depressed (with the ignitionswitch in “ON” position and the lock re-lease button depressed).

(a) Selector lever

P: Parking, engine starting and keyremoval

R: Reverse

N: Neutral

D: Normal driving (with overdrive on)

2: Stronger engine braking

L: Maximum engine braking

Automatic transmission

Lock release buttonTo prevent misshifting

With the brake pedal depressed,shift while holding the lockrelease button in. (The ignition switch must be in“ON” position.)

Shift while holding the lockrelease button in.

Shift normally. Overdriveswitch

Selector lever


116

(b) Overdrive switch

You can select either a third gear (withoverdrive off) or fourth gear (with over-drive on) by pushing this switch.

To turn the overdrive off, push the switch.The “O/D OFF” indicator light should comeon. To turn the overdrive on again, pushthe switch again. The “O/D OFF” indicatorlight should go off.

Always drive your vehicle with the over-drive on for better fuel economy andquieter driving.

If the engine is turned off when the over-drive is off and restarted, the overdrivewill be on automatically.

Vehicles with cruise control—When thecruise control is being used, even if youdownshift the transmission by pushing andreleasing the overdrive switch, enginebraking will not be enabled because thecruise control is not cancelled.

For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,see “Cruise control” on page 128 in thisSection.

(c) Normal driving

1. Start the engine as instructed in “Howto start the engine” on page 200 inSection 3. The transmission must be in“P” or “N”.

2. With your foot holding down the brakepedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.

When the lever is in the “D” position, theautomatic transmission system will selectthe most suitable gear for running condi-tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-ing, hard towing, etc.

Always turn the overdrive on for betterfuel economy and quieter driving. If theengine coolant temperature is low, thetransmission will not shift into overdrivegear even with the overdrive on.

CAUTION

Never put your foot on the accelera-tor pedal while shifting.

3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedalslowly for smooth starting.

(d) Using engine braking

To use engine braking, you can downshiftthe transmission as follows:

� Push the overdrive switch. The “O/DOFF” indicator light will come on andthe transmission will downshift to thirdgear.

� Shift into the “2” position. The trans-mission will downshift to second gearwhen the vehicle speed drops down toor lower than 105 km/h (65 mph), andstronger engine braking will be en-abled.

� Shift into the “L” position. The trans-mission will downshift to first gearwhen the vehicle speed drops down toor lower than 49 km/h (30 mph), andmaximum engine braking will be en-abled.


117

Vehicles with cruise control—When thecruise control is being used, even if youdownshift the transmission by pushing andreleasing the overdrive switch, enginebraking will not be enabled because thecruise control is not cancelled.

For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,see “Cruise control” on page 128 in thisSection.

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on aslippery surface. Abrupt shiftingcould cause the vehicle to skid orspin.

(e) Using “2” and “L” positions

The “2” and “L” positions are used forstrong engine braking as described pre-viously.

With the selector lever in “2” or “L”, youcan start the vehicle in motion as with thelever in “D”.

With the selector lever in “2”, the vehiclewill start in first gear and automaticallyshift to second gear.

With the selector lever in “L”, the trans-mission is engaged in first gear.

NOTICE

� Be careful not to over−rev the en-gine. Watch the tachometer to keepengine rpm from going into the redzone. The approximate maximum al-lowable speed for each position isgiven below for your reference:

“2” 118 km/h (73 mph). . . . . . . . . . . “L” 65 km/h (40 mph). . . . . . . . . . . .

� Do not continue hill climbing orhard towing for a long time in the“2” or “L” position. This may causesevere automatic transmission dam-age from overheating. To preventsuch damage, “D” position shouldbe used in hill climbing or hardtowing.

(f) Backing up

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. With the brake pedal held down withyour foot, shift the selector lever to the“R” position.

NOTICE

Never shift into reverse while the ve-hicle is moving.

(g) Parking

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully tosecurely apply the parking brake.

3. With the brake pedal pressed down,shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-tion.

CAUTION

Never attempt to move the selectorlever into “P” position under any cir-cumstances while the vehicle is mov-ing. Serious mechanical damage andloss of vehicle control may result.

(h) Good driving practice

� If the transmission repeatedly shifts upand down between third gear and over-drive when climbing a gentle slope, theoverdrive should be turned off. Be sureto turn the switch on immediately after-ward.

� When towing a trailer, in order to main-tain engine braking efficiency, do notuse overdrive.


118

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brakepedal while stopped with the enginerunning. This prevents the vehiclefrom creeping.

NOTICE

Always use the brake pedal or theparking brake to hold the vehicle onan upgrade. Do not attempt to holdthe vehicle using the accelerator ped-al, as this can cause the transmissionto overheat.

(i) If you cannot shift the selector le-ver out of “P” position

If you cannot shift the selector lever from“P” position even though the brake pedalis depressed, use the shift lock overridebutton. For instructions, see “If you cannotshift automatic transmission selector lever”on page 229 in Section 4.

5−speed

6−speed

The shift pattern is conventional asshown above.

CAUTION

The shift lever knob can become ex-tremely hot after parking under thesun.

In case of driving your vehicle with6−speed manual transmission, the buzzerwill sound when you shift the gear into“R” (reverse).

Press the clutch pedal down fully whileshifting, and then release it slowly. Do notrest your foot on the pedal while driving,because it will cause clutch trouble. Donot use the clutch to hold the vehiclewhen stopped on an uphill grade—use theparking brake.

Recommended shifting speeds

The transmission is fully synchronized andupshifting or downshifting is easy.

For the best compromise between fueleconomy and vehicle performance, youshould upshift or downshift at the followingspeeds:

Manual transmission


119

5−speedGear km/h (mph)

1 to 2 or 2 to 1 24 (15)2 to 3 or 3 to 2 37/40∗1 (23/25∗1)3 to 4 or 4 to 3 64/45∗2 (40/28∗2)4 to 5 or 5 to 4 72/64∗2 (45/40∗2)∗1: Under cold engine conditions∗2: For constant−speed cruise orconstant−speed cruise after deceleration


1 to 2 or 2 to 1 24 (15)2 to 3 or 3 to 2 40 (25)3 to 4 or 4 to 3 64 (40)4 to 5 or 5 to 4 72 (45)5 to 6 or 6 to 5 80 (50)

Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel-eration is needed when you are cruisingbelow the above downshifting speeds.

Upshifting too soon or downshifting toolate will cause lugging, and possibly ping-ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-mum speed in each gear will cause ex-cessive engine wear and high fuelconsumption.

Maximum allowable speeds

To get on a highway or to pass slowertraffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-essary. Make sure you observe the follow-ing maximum allowable speeds in eachgear:


1 58 (36)2 96 (60)3 139 (87)4 180 (111)


1 64 (40)2 99 (61)3 137 (85)4 174 (108)5 210 (130)

NOTICE

Do not downshift if you are goingfaster than the maximum allowablespeed for the next lower gear.

Good driving practice

� If it is difficult to shift into reverse, putthe transmission in neutral, release theclutch pedal momentarily, and then tryagain.

� When towing a trailer, in order to main-tain engine braking efficiency, do notuse fifth gear (5−speed models) orsixth gear (6−speed models).

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on aslippery surface. Abrupt shiftingcould cause the vehicle to skid orspin.

NOTICE

Make sure the vehicle is completelystopped before shifting into reverse.


120

The traction control system automatical-ly helps prevent the spinning of frontwheels when the vehicle is started oraccelerated on slippery road surfaces.

When the ignition key is turned to “ON”,the system automatically turns on.

CAUTION

Under certain slippery road condi-tions, full traction of the vehicle andpower against front wheels cannot bemaintained, even though the tractioncontrol system is in operation. Do notdrive the vehicle under any speed ormaneuvering conditions which maycause the vehicle to lose tractioncontrol. In situations where the roadsurface is covered with ice or snow,your vehicle should be fitted withsnow tires or tire chains. Alwaysdrive at an appropriate and cautiousspeed for the present road condi-tions.

NORMAL DRIVING MODE

Leave the system on during the ordi-nary driving so that it can operatewhen needed.

You may hear a sound in the enginecompartment for a few seconds when theengine is started or just after the vehiclebegins to move. This means that the trac-tion control system is in the self−checkmode, but does not indicate a malfunction.

When the traction control system is oper-ating, the following conditions occur:

� The system controls the spinning of thefront wheels. At this time, the slip indi-cator light/traction control system offindicator light blinks.

� You may feel vibration or noise in yourvehicle, caused by operation of thebrakes. This indicates the system isfunctioning properly.

The indicator light comes on for a fewseconds when the ignition key is turnedto “ON”.

In the following cases, contact your Toyotadealer:

� The indicator light does not come onwhen the ignition key is turned “ON”.

� The indicator light remains on after theignition is turned on.

� The indicator light comes on with thenormal driving mode while driving.

121

TRACTION CONTROL OFF MODE

When getting the vehicle out of mud ornewly fallen snow, etc., turn off thetraction control system. This systemthat controls engine performance inter-feres with the process of freeing frontwheels.

To turn off: Push “TRAC OFF” switch.

The slip indicator light/traction control sys-tem off indicator light will come on.

The vehicle stability control system is al-ways activated, even if the traction controlsystem is turned off.

To turn on: Push “TRAC OFF” switchonce again.

The slip indicator light/traction control sys-tem off indicator light will go off.

The indicator light comes on for a fewseconds when the ignition key is turnedto “ON”. It will come on again when youpush the “TRAC OFF” switch to turn offthe traction control system.





“VSC” warning light

This light warns that there is a problemsomewhere in the traction control systemor the vehicle stability control system.

The light will come on when the ignitionkey is turned to “ON” and will go off aftera few seconds.

If the light comes on while driving, thesystem does not work. However, as con-ventional braking operates when applied,there is no problem to continue your driv-ing.


122


� The warning light does not come onafter the ignition key is turned to “ON”.

� The warning light remains on after theignition key is turned to “ON”.

� The warning light comes on while driv-ing.

The slip indicator light/traction control sys-tem off indicator light will come on whenthe “VSC” warning light comes on even ifthe “TRAC OFF” switch is not pushed.

The vehicle stability control systemhelps provide integrated control of thesystems such as anti−lock brake sys-tem, traction control, engine control,etc. This system automatically controlsthe brakes and engine to help preventthe vehicle from skidding when corner-ing on a slippery road surface or oper-ating steering wheel abruptly.

This system will activate when your ve-hicle speed reaches or exceeds 15 km/h(9 mph), and will deactivate when the ve-hicle speed reduces to below 15 km/h (9mph).

You may hear a sound in the enginecompartment for a few seconds when theengine is started or just after the vehiclebegins to move. This means that the sys-tem is in the self−check mode, but doesnot indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION

� Do not rely excessively on the ve-hicle stability control system. Evenif the vehicle stability control sys-tem is operating, you must alwaysdrive carefully and attentively toavoid serious injury. Reckless driv-ing will result in an unexpected ac-cident. If the slip indicator lightflashes, an alarm sounds, and spe-cial care should be taken whiledriving.

� Only use tires of specified size. Thesize, manufacture, brand and treadpattern for all 4 tires should be thesame. If you use the tires otherthan specified, or different type orsize, the vehicle stability controlsystem may not function correctly.When replacing the tires or wheels,contact your Toyota dealer. (See“Checking and replacing tires” onpage 262 in Section 7−2.)

� In situations where the road surfaceis covered with ice or snow, yourvehicle should be fitted with snowtires or tire chains.

123

If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-ing, the slip indicator light blinks and analarm sounds intermittently. Special careshould be taken while driving.

The slip indicator light/traction control sys-tem off indicator light comes on for a fewseconds when the ignition key is turnedto “ON”. If you select the traction controloff mode, the indicator light will come onagain.





“VSC” warning light

This light warns that there is a problemsomewhere in the vehicle stability controlsystem or the traction control system.

The light will come on when the ignitionkey is turned to “ON” and will go off aftera few seconds.

If the light comes on while driving, thesystem does not work. However, as con-ventional braking operates when applied,there is no problem to continue your driv-ing.

� The warning light does not come onafter the ignition key is turned to “ON”.

� The warning light remains on after theignition key is turned to “ON”.

� The warning light comes on while driv-ing.

The slip indicator light/traction control sys-tem off indicator light will come on whenthe “VSC” warning light comes on even ifthe “TRAC OFF” switch is not pushed.

The tire pressure warning system is de-signed to provide warning when tireinflation pressure of any one of thetires is critically low while the vehicleis moving. The low tire pressure warn-ing light comes on to inform you thatsuch low tire pressure may hamperdriving.

This system is not designed to operatewhen the vehicle is stopped. Therefore,check the tire inflation pressure regularly.The recommended cold tire inflation pres-sure, tire size and the vehicle capacityweight are on the tire and loading informa-tion label. (For instructions, see “Checkingtire inflation pressure” on page 259 inSection 7−2.)

Installed tires should be of the specifiedsize. They should be of the same sizeand construction. If tires other than thespecified size are used, or if tires of dif-ferent sizes or constructions are mixed,the tire pressure warning system will notfunction properly.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT

This light comes on when the ignition keyis turned to the “ON” position. It goes offafter a few seconds. This indicates thatthe tire pressure warning system is func-tioning properly.

If the low tire pressure warning lightcomes on or blinks while driving, dothe following.

Tire pressure warning system


125

If the warning light comes on:

1. Adjust the tire inflation pressure tothe specified level as soon as pos-sible. (See “Tires” on page 284 inSection 8.)

2. Push the tire pressure warning sys-tem reset switch for a few secondsand make sure the warning lightgoes off.

If the light remains on after the resetswitch has been pushed, have the tirepressure warning system checked at yourToyota dealer.

If you have a flat tire, replace it with thespare tire. For details, see “If you havea flat tire” on page 217 in Section 4.

If the warning light blinks once everysecond:

The low tire pressure warning system maybe malfunctioning. Contact your Toyotadealer.

If the warning light blinks once everythree seconds:

The low tire pressure warning systemneeds to be initialized. Reset the systemwith the tire pressure warning system re-set switch. (To reset the system, see“TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEMRESET SWITCH”.)

The tire pressure warning system doesnot function properly under certain cir-cumstances. In the following cases, thelow tire pressure warning light may notcome on even if the tire inflation pres-sure is low, or it may come on whenthe tire inflation pressure is actuallynormal.

� A compact spare tire, snow tires, ortire chains are used.

� The tire inflation pressure is excessive-ly higher than specified, or tire inflationpressure suddenly drops due to burst-ing or other causes.

� The vehicle is driven on a slipperyroad surface such as rough or frozenroads.

� The vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h(19 mph) or more than 100 km/h (62mph), and the driving duration is lessthan 5 minutes.

� The tires differ in tread pattern ormanufacturer.

� The tires are not the specified size.

� The tread wear is very different amongthe installed tires.

� Rapid acceleration/deceleration orsharp turns is continued.

� Towing a trailer.

� The loading is over the limit or imbal-anced.

� Initialization was not performed correct-ly after replacing or rotating tires orwheels.

� The outside temperature is below 0�C(32�F) or above 40�C (104�F).

CAUTION

When the tire pressure warning lightcomes on, observe the following in-structions:

� Adjust the tire inflation pressure tothe specified level as soon as pos-sible.

� Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-vering and braking. If the vehicletires deteriorate, you could losecontrol of the steering wheel or thebrakes, causing death or serious in-jury.


126

Note: The tire pressure monitoringsystem on your vehicle will warn youwhen one of your tires is significantlyunder−inflated and when some com-binations of your tires are significant-ly under−inflated. However, there areother combinations of significantlyunder−inflated tires for which yourtire pressure monitoring system maynot warn you. These other combina-tions are relatively common, account-ing for approximately half theinstances in which vehicles have sig-nificantly under−inflated tires. For ex-ample, your system may not warn youwhen both tires on the same side oron the same axle of your vehicle aresignificantly under−inflated. It is par-ticularly important, therefore, for youto check the tire pressure in all ofyour tires regularly and maintainproper pressure.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEMRESET SWITCH

The tire pressure warning system needto be initialized in the following condi-tions:

� When the low tire pressure warninglight blinks once every three sec-onds

� After replacing or rotating tires orwheels

When initializing the system, the pres-ent tire condition is stored as a stan-dard.

To initialize the system, perform the fol-lowing:

1. Park the vehicle at a safe place andapply the parking brake. Stop the en-gine.

2. Adjust the pressure of all the installedtires to the specified level. (See “Tires”on page 284 in Section 8.)

3. Turn the ignition key to “ON”.

If the low tire pressure warning lightcomes on, push the reset switch for afew seconds and make sure the warn-ing light goes off.

4. Push and hold the reset switch untilthe low tire pressure warning lightblinks three times.

Initialization is completed after driving atthe speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) or overfor more than one hour. If the followingdriving conditions are satisfied, initializa-tion will be completed in about one hour.

� The vehicle speed is between 50 km/h(31 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph).

� The roads are dry, smooth and straight.

� The number of passengers is 1 or 2(including driver).


127

When initializing the system, make surethe low tire pressure warning light blinksthree times. If the warning light does notblink three times, initializing will be failedand the tire pressure warning system willnot function properly.

Do not push the reset switch without ad-justing the tire inflation pressure to thespecified level. Otherwise, the low tirepressure warning light may not come oneven if the tire pressure is low, or it maycome on when the tire inflation pressureis actually normal.

If you push the reset switch while thevehicle is moving, initialization is not per-formed.

If the low tire pressure warning light doesnot blink when you push and hold thereset switch, have the low pressure warn-ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.

When the warning light blinks once everythree seconds while driving, you may beunable to reset the system. In this case,set the system again according to theabove procedure.

Type A

Type B

Parking brake


128

When parking, firmly apply the parkingbrake to avoid inadvertent creeping.

To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-ing power, first depress the brake pedaland hold it while setting the parkingbrake.To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),press the lock release button (2), and low-er (3).

To remind you that the parking brake isset, the parking brake reminder light inthe instrument panel remains on until yourelease the parking brake.

CAUTION

Before driving, be sure the parkingbrake is fully released and the park-ing brake reminder light is off.

The cruise control is designed to main-tain a set cruising speed without requir-ing the driver to operate the accelera-tor. Cruising speed can be set to anyspeed above 40 km/h (25 mph).

Within the limits of the engine’s capabili-ties, cruising speed can be maintained upor down grades. However, changes in ve-hicle speed may occur on steeper grades.

CAUTION

� To help maintain maximum controlof your vehicle, do not use thecruise control when driving inheavy or varying traffic, or on slip-pery (rainy, icy or snow−covered) orwinding roads.

� Avoid vehicle speed increases whendriving downhill. If the vehiclespeed is too fast in relation to thecruise control set speed, cancel thecruise control then downshift thetransmission to use engine brakingto slow down.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

To turn the cruise control on, press the“ON−OFF” button. The “CRUISE” indicatorlight on the instrument panel will come onto indicate that the cruise control is opera-tional. Pressing the “ON−OFF” buttonagain turns the system off.

When the system is turned off, cruisingspeed must be reset when the cruise con-trol is turned on again.

Cruise control


129

CAUTION

To avoid accidentally engaging thecruise control, turn the system offwhen it is not in use. Make sure the“CRUISE” indicator light is off.

SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED

On vehicles with automatic transmission,the transmission must be in “D” beforeyou set the cruising speed.

Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-tion and release it. This sets the vehicleat that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,or tap it down for a slower speed. Eachtap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot offthe accelerator pedal.

If you need acceleration—for example,when passing—depress the acceleratorpedal enough for the vehicle to exceedthe set speed. When you release it, thevehicle will return to the speed set priorto the acceleration.

CAUTION

For manual transmission:

While driving with the cruise controlon, do not shift to neutral withoutdepressing the clutch pedal, as thismay cause engine racing or overrev-ving.

CANCELLING THE CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control may be temporarilycancelled by the driver or by the systemitself under certain circumstances. Tempo-rary cancellation allows the set cruisingspeed to remain in memory.

The cruise control can be temporarily can-celled by doing the following:

� Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” di-rection and releasing it

� Depressing the brake pedal

� Depressing the clutch pedal (manualtransmission)


130

Under certain circumstances, the cruisecontrol is temporarily cancelled:

� When vehicle speed falls below 40km/h (25 mph)

� When vehicle stability control is acti-vated

When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10mph) below the set speed, the cruise con-trol is cancelled and the set speed iserased from memory.

The “CRUISE” indicator light remains onto indicate that the system is still in op-eration.

To turn the cruise control off, push the“ON−OFF” button. Make sure the“CRUISE” indicator light is off.

If the cruise control automatically cancelsout other than for the above cases, haveyour vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-er at the earliest opportunity.

RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL

If the cruise control is temporarily can-celled, the cruising speed can be resumedby pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”direction.

Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25mph).

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED

Push the lever up in the “+ RES” directionand hold it. Release the lever when thedesired speed is attained. While the leveris held up, the vehicle will gradually gainspeed.

However, a faster way to reset is to ac-celerate the vehicle and then push thelever down in the “− SET” direction.

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-tion and hold it. Release the lever whenthe desired speed is attained. While thelever is held down, the vehicle speed willgradually decrease.

However, a faster way to reset is to de-press the brake pedal and then push thelever down in the “− SET” direction.

On vehicles with automatic transmission,even if you turn off the overdrive switch,with the cruise control on, engine brakingwill not be applied because the cruisecontrol is not cancelled. To decrease thevehicle speed, reset to a slower speedwith the cruise control lever or depressthe brake pedal. If you use the brakepedal, cruise control is cancelled.

CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING

If the “CRUISE” indicator light flasheswhen using the cruise control, press the“ON−OFF” button to turn the system offand then press it again to turn it on.

If any of the following conditions then oc-curs, there is some trouble in the cruisecontrol system.

� The indicator light does not come on.

� The indicator light flashes again.

� The indicator light goes out after itcomes on.

If this is the case, contact your Toyotadealer and have your vehicle inspected.
