Fusible linksE01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.Fuses E01003001963
Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting or overloading, each individual cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There is a fuse block in the passenger compartment.The location of the fuse block in the passenger com-
partment depends whether the vehicle is LHD or
RHD. In a LHD vehicle, it is located behind the cov-
er in front of the driver’s seat. In a RHD vehicle, it
is located at the back of the glove box (as shown in
the illustration).
Fuse load capacity
The fuse capacities and the names of the electrical
systems protected by the fuses are shown on the
back of the cover in a LHD vehicle and behind the
cover at the back of the glove box in a RHD vehicle.
NOTE l The vehicle is not equipped with spare fuses.
Please purchase replacement fuses as neces-
sary.
Passenger compartment fuse location table
NOTE l When replacing a fuse, be sure to use a fuse
of the same capacity.

Fuse replacement
1.Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the
electrical circuit concerned and place the ig-
nition switch in the “LOCK” position.
2. Remove the fuse puller from the cover. (Re-
fer to “To remove the cover” on pages 8-22,
8-22.)
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
A- Fuse is OK B- Blown fuse
NOTE l If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked.

4.Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller and insert the fuse at the
same place in the fuse block.CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire.To remove the cover (LHD vehicles) E01006800066
1. Turn the clips (A) anticlockwise, then re-
move the cover (B).
2. Remove the fuse puller (C) from the cover (B).

er.

Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE
l If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200043
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour.

2. Disconnect the connector (B).
3.Unhook the spring (C) which secures the
bulb, and then remove the headlamp bulb.
CAUTIONl Handle halogen lamp bulb with care. The
gas inside halogen lamp bulb is highly
pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the head-
lamps are operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.,
and refit it after drying it thoroughly.
4. To install the bulb, perform the removal
steps in reverse.
NOTE l When installing the bulb, align the upper part
as illustrated then press the bulb into place.
