CHECKING BATTERY
CONDITION AND FLUID LEVEL
CAUTION:
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces an flammable and explosive
hydrogen gas.

Do not cause a spark by contacting the battery
terminals with tools.

Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.
The electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric
acid.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothes.

Never inhale or swallow electrolyte.

Wear protective safety glasses when working near the
battery.

Keep children away from the battery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES

If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water
with a sponge or cloth while traveling to the medical
office.

If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you feel a pain or burn, get medical
attention immediately.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Engine compartment
Passenger’s side kick panel
198b. Install only a fuse with the amperage rating designated on
the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse in an emergency, you can pull
out the “CIG/RADIO”, “RADIO”, “DOME” or “MIR-HTR” fuse,
which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one lower
than, but as close as possible to, the amperage. If the
amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out
again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute
to its original clips.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them
in your vehicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with
the electrical system. Have your Lexus dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or another
object, in place of a fuse. It may cause extensive damage
and possibly cause a fire.
CHECKING THE CARTRIDGE
TYPE FUSES
If the headlights or other electrical components do not
work and the blade type fuses are O.K., check the
cartridge type fuses. If any of the cartridge type fuses are
melted, they must be replaced.

ADDING WASHER FLUID
If any washer does not work, the washer tank may be
empty. Add washer fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold
areas where temperatures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at
your Lexus dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions on how much to mix with water.
NOTICE:
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute
because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.
CHECKING THE HEADLIGHT AIM
Before checking the headlight aim:
1. Be sure that the body around the headlight is not deformed.
2. Park the vehicle on a level spot.
3. The driver gets into the driver’s seat and puts the vehicle in
a state readying for a driving (with a full tank).
4. Bounce the vehicle several times.

Mark
203 To check the headlight aim, check the vertical and
horizontal gauges.
1. Look at the beam angle gauge (vertical movement). The
bubble of the gauge should not deviate from the center of the
gauge by more than two marks to either side of the gauge.2. Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal movement). The
blue mark should not deviate by more than one mark to either
side of the gauge.
If the error is over the value specified above, take the vehicle
to your Lexus dealer to adjust the headlight aim.
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
The illustration on the following pages show the locations of
light bulbs. If it is necessary to replace a bulb, take your vehicle
to Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Use bulbs with the bulb
numbers and wattage ratings given in the table.
The single end bulbs are removed by pressing them in and
turning counterclokwise. Double-end bulbs (*) or wedge base
bulbs (**) pull straight out of the holder clips.
NOTICE:
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
