■

After a fuse is replaced

●

If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need

replacement. (

P. 663)

●

If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■

If there is an overload in a circuit

The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.

■

When replacing light bulbs

Lexus recommends that you use genuine Lexus products designed for this vehicle.

Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent overload, non-

genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unusable.

CAUTION

■

To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.

●

Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use any

other object in place of a fuse.

●

Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent.

Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.

This can cause extensive damage or even fire.

●

Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.

NOTICE

■

Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Lexus

dealer as soon as possible.
