Maintenance and care
3Remove the fuse with the pullout
tool.
Only some fuses can be removed
using the pullout tool.
4 Check if the fuse is blown.
Normal fuse
Blown fuse
Replace the blown fuse with a new fuse of
an appropriate amperage rating. The
amperage rating can be found on the fuse
box lid.
Many types of fuse are used on this vehicle.
This illustration shows a common type of
fuse used on this vehicle.
■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.392)
●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.

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.
■Fuse box near the power control unit
Never check or replace the fuses as
there are high voltage parts and wiring
near the fuse box.
Doing so may cause electric shock,
resulting in death or serious injury.
