Door-open idiot light?

[Martinjmpr]

One of the things I liked about my Subaru Outback was that it had a display on the dashboard that would alert me when one of the 5 doors was not fully closed or latched.

I didn't think the 4runner had one, but driving up to Casper last week, the sun shined on the instrument panel and revealed what appears to be exactly this kind of light: A graphic of the vehicle with the doors open.

But I've never seen it light up. Was this light only "installed" on the Limited models? Or is it possible I have a light out?

Does anybody with a 99 SR5 have the door-open warning on their dash?

mine used to work. doesn't do anything now and its not a burnt out bulb. it doesn't bother me enough to figure it out

I have never really notice it before, will check tonight when I get off work.

I have one. chances are it is just burned out. Another way to tell if the dome light doesnt go off, it could mean a door is not latched to a degree.

My 98 SR5 has one and it works, but is just generic and doesnt point out the specific door.

My 98 SR5 has one and it works, but is just generic and doesnt point out the specific door.

Likewise my '99 SR5.

I have a 99' SR5 106k miles on it, the light still goes on. It might just be a burnt bulb.
