After a fuse is replaced ●
If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need
replacement. (  P. 5 1 3 )●
If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ■
If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protec ting the wiring harness from damage.■
When replacing light bulbs
Lexus recommends that you use genuine Lexu s products designed for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are connected to circui ts designed to prevent overload, nongenu-
ine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unusable.
WA R N I N G ■
To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or injury.●
Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rati ng than that indicated, or use any other
object in place of a fuse. ●
Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix. ●
Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes. ■
Fuse box near the power control unit
Never check or replace the fu ses as there are high voltage parts and wiring near the
fuse box.
Doing so may cause electric shock, re sulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE ■
Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determ ined and repaired by your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
