After a fuse is replaced

If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

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 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 the fuse boxes.

NOTICE

Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer,

as soon as possible.
