CAUTION
  • If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as Multi Terrain ABS and the SRS airbag warning lights not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately if this occurs.
