■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been repla ced, a bulb may
need replacement. ( P. 643)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or

● Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicate d, or use
any other object in place of a fuse.
● Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
● Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
