■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. 445)
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota

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

●Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
