tecting the wiring harness from
damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Toyota recommends that you use
genuine Toyota pr oducts designed
for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are con-
nected to circuits designed to pre-
vent overload, non-genuine parts or
parts not designed for this vehicle
may be unusable.

downs and vehicle fire
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the vehicle, and possibly a
fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than that indi-
cated, 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

WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not
attempt to replace the bulb
immediately after turning off the
lights. The bulbs become very
hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion
of the light bulb with bare
hands.
When it is unavoidable to hold
the glass portion, use and hold
with a clean dry cloth to avoid
getting moisture and oils on the
bulb. Also, if the bulb is
scratched or dropped, it may
blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any
parts used to secure them. Fail-
ure to do so may result in heat
damage, fire, or water entering
the light unit. This may damage
the lights or cause condensa-
tion to build up on the lens.
●Do not attempt to repair or dis-
assemble light bulbs, connec-
tors, electric circuits or
component parts.
Doing so may result in death or
serious injury due to electric
shock.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated
and locked.
