in place and slide it upwards to
disengage the clip.9. Remove the bulb (1) from thesocket (2) and replace with a
new one.
10. After replacing the bulb, reverse steps 1-8 to install.
Do not touch the glass of the bulb
with your hand. Soiling the glass will
cause the bulb to blow out.
When attaching the rubber boot,
press in both the outside and inside
circumference of it. Make sure that
the rubber boot, the headlamp
assembly, and the bulb are securely
installed without any raised section. If the rubber boot is not firmly in
place, water could get inside the
headlamp and lead to a breakdown.
Replacing Parking Lamps
1. Refer to
“Replacing the

Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
Electrical System
Following the after-delivery service,
it is the owner's responsibility to
check all wiring periodically for
cracked, chafed or oil-soaked
insulation and maintain it in a clean
and tight condition to ensure
satisfactory operation of the
electrical system.
Replacing the Fuses and Relays
Your vehicle is equipped with fuses
and fusible links to protect your
electrical wiring and equipment in
case of electrical overload.
When the lights do not come on or
flash, or the equipment in the
electrical system does not operate,
check to see if a fuse has blown. Fuses :
In case of an electrical
overload, the fuse will blow and stop
the flow of current in the circuit
before electrical components
become damaged.
The cause of the circuit overload
must be identified and corrected
before the blown fuse is replaced,
or else the new fuse will also blow.
Since different circuits handle
different amounts of current, fuses
of various ampere ratings are used.
Be sure to replace a blown fuse with
a fuse of the correct rating.
To know if a fuse is blown or not,
remove the suspected fuse and look
at the wire for a break. If the wire is
broken, replace the fuse with one of
equal amperage rating.
The amperage rating of each fuse is
molded in its head.
Fuses are installed in the fuse
panel.

The Location of Fuses and Relays
The fuses (3) and relays (2) are
located in the lower part of the
instrument panel in the center and
in the left rear of the cab.
The cover (1) must be opened in
order to carry out inspection and
replacement. In addition, the
cover (1) of the relay box at the left
rear of the cab must also be opened
at this time.
If you should spill water or a
beverage on the cover, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover may get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.Replacing Fuses
1. Before replacing fuses, firmly apply the parking brake, move
the selector lever to the
P (Park) position, and turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position.
2. The fuse puller is stored in the fuse box inside the cab. Place
the fuse puller on the fuse and
pull it out.
3. If the fuse appears asshown (2), the fuse is blown.
Replace with a spare fuse (1).
Spare fuses are stored in the
fuse box inside the cab.

{Warning
Always use fuses specified for the
vehicle. Using fuses with a rating
other than that specified, or using
wire or tin foil, etc., could result in
fire or damage.
If the new fuses blow right away
and the cause is unknown,
contact your dealer.
Do not inspect or replace fuses
when the starter switch is in the
ON position. Doing so may lead
to an accident.
When inspecting fuses, be sure to
park the vehicle on flat, level
ground and apply chocks to the
wheels.
Replacing Relays
Before replacing the relays, contact
the nearest dealer.
The vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the fuses, relays, and
features shown. It is not necessary to open or close
the cover unless trouble is found.
The relay box structure makes it
difficult for water to enter. If you
should spill water or a beverage of
the cover, however, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover will get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.
