ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

700

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them
in your vehicle for emergencies.

If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with
the electrical system.  Have your Lexus dealer correct it as
soon as possible.

CAUTION

Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any
other object, in place of a fuse.  This may cause
extensive damage and possibly a fire.
