■After a fuse is replaced
●When installing the lid,  make sure that the 
tab is installed securely.
●If the lights do not turn on even after the 
fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need 
replacement. ( P.344)
●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, protecting 
the wiring harness from damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Lexus recommends that you use genuine 
Lexus products designed for this vehicle. 
Because certain bulbs are connected to cir-
cuits designed to prevent overload, non-
genuine parts or parts not designed for this 
vehicle may be unusable.A

WARNING
■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 
rating 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.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload 
determined and repaired by your Lexus 
dealer as soon as possible.
