■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.
- 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 circuits 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.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
