■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.341)
●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.
