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 any
other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive
damage and possibly a fire.

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
blown, they must be replaced.

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 your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Use bulbs with the
bulb numbers and wattage ratings given in the table.
CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require
special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Do
not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
NOTICE:
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
