cartridge type fuses. If any of the cartridge type fuses are
blown, they must be replaced.

are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is
damaged.

Leather Interior
The selected leather is used in your Lexus. Due to a leather
product, some parts of leather may be rough, uneven or
scratched originally.
To keep good appearance, we recommend you to clean it
periodically twice a year.
Remove dirt on the leather in the following ways:
1. Wipe it off lightly using a soft cloth (e.g. gauze) dampened
with 5% solution of neutral detergent for wool.
2. Wring water from a clean cloth and thoroughly wipe off all
traces of detergent with it. 3. Wipe off the surface of the leather with a dry soft cloth.
Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded area. Excess
of wet may cause the hardening or shrinking of the leather.
