■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. 4 6 9 )
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
■If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged.
CAUTION
■To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause damage, 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. 
This can cause extensive damage or even fire.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
■Fuse box near the power control unit
Never check or replace the fuses as there are high voltage parts and wiring near
the fuse box. 
Doing so may cause electric shock, re sulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Lexus
dealer as soon as possible.

If the vehicle 12-volt battery is discharged
The following procedures may be used to start the hybrid system if the vehi-
cle’s 12-volt battery is discharged. 
You can also call your Lexus dealer or a qualified repair shop.
If you have a set of jumper (or booster) cables and a second vehicle
with a 12-volt battery, you can jump start your vehicle by following the
steps below.
Open the hood and fuse box
co

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is discharged
●The hybrid system may not start. (P. 4 3 4 )
●If the 12-volt battery is depleted with the shift position in P, it will not be possible
to shift out of P. In this case, the vehi cle cannot be towed without lifting both
front wheels because the front wheels are locked by the parking lock. 
(  P. 4 8 3 )
●When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the hybrid system, depress the
brake pedal, and confirm that it is poss ible to shift into each shift position.
