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. 378)
●
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.
