Maintenance and care
Q After a fuse is replaced
O When installing the lid, make sure that the
tab is installed securely.
O If the lights do not turn on even after the
fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need
replacement. (oP.569)
O If the replaced fuse blows again, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
Q If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting
the wiring harness from damage.
Q 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.
Check the wattage of the light bulb to
be replaced. (oP.634)

equivalent.
