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.
