If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
See “Fuse locations” on page 338 in Sec-
tion 7 −1 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the engine switch and inoperative
component off. Pull the suspected fuse
straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing the
problem. The lid of the fuse box shows
the name of the circuit for each fuse. See
page 377 in Section 8 for the functions
controlled by each circuit.

Type A and B fuses can be pulled out by
the pull−out tool. The location of the pull −
out tool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse
with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse
into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the “P/POINT”
or “RAD1” fuse, which may be dispens-
able for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-
age, use one that is lower, but as close
to the rating as possible. 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 clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of
spare fuses and keep them in your ve-
hicle for emergencies. If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical sys-
tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
You should normalize the driver’s power
window (coupe) and moon roof may not
operate correctly after replacing blown
fuses. To normalize the power window and
moon roof, see “Power windows” on page
24 and “Electric moon roof” on page 34
in Section 1−
2.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher am-
perage rating, or any other object, in
place of a fuse. This may cause ex-
tensive damage and possibly a fire.
If any washer does not work or the low
windshield washer fluid level warning
light comes on, the washer tank may be
empty. Add washer fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid.
However, in cold areas where tempera-
tures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This
product is available at your Toyota dealer
and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer ’s directions for how much to
mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.

The following illustrations show how to
gain access to the bulbs. When replacing
a bulb, make sure the engine switch and
light switch are off. Use bulbs with the
wattage ratings given in the table.
The stop/tail and rear side maker lights
and high mounted stoplight (convertible)
consist of a number of LEDs. If any of
the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer to have the light re-
placed.
If one or more LEDs in a stop/tail light
burn out, your vehicle may not conform to
local laws (SAE).
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not
replace the light bulbs while they
are hot.
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.
Vehicle with discharge headlights—
Do not touch the highintensity dis-
charge headlight’s high voltage
socket when the headlights are
turned on. An extremely high volt-
age of 20000 V will be discharged
and could result in serious injury or
death by electric shock.
Do not attempt to take apart or re-
pair the low beam headlight bulbs,
connectors, power supply circuits,
or related components. Doing so
could result in electric shock and
serious injury or death. Call your
Toyota dealer for headlight repair or
servicing, including replacement of
bulbs and bulb disposal.
NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lens becomes wet in the rain or
in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lens, just like the
windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if
there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lens, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.

Change automatic transmission fluid only
as necessary.
Generally, it is necessary to change
automatic transmission fluid only if your
vehicle is driven under one of the Special
Operating Conditions listed in your
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner ’s Manual Supplement”. When
changing the automatic transmission fluid,
use only the following types to aid in
assuring optimum transaxle performance. 2.4 L 4 −cylinder (2AZ −FE) engine
“Toyota Genuine ATF WS” (ATF
JWS3324 or NWS9638)
3.3 L V6 (3MZ −FE) engine
“Toyota Genuine ATF Type T −IV” (ATF

fluid other than “Toyota Genuine ATF
WS” (2.4 L 4cylinder [2AZFE] engine)
or “Toyota genuine ATF Type TIV” (3.3
L V6 [3MZFE] engine) may cause dete-
rioration in shift quality, locking up of
your transmission accompanied by
vibration, and ultimately damage the au-
tomatic transmission of your vehicle.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther details.
