■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 Toyota 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

Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota 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 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

■Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
