●

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.

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 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 fuses or the fuse box.

■

Fuse box near the power control unit

Never check or replace the fuses as there are high voltage parts and wiring near

the fuse box.

Doing so may cause electric shock, resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

Before replacing fuses

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

dealer.
