BATTERY RECHARGING
PRECAUTIONS
During recharging, the battery is producing hydrogen
gas.
Therefore, before recharging:
1. Remove the vent plugs.
2. If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground cable.
3. Be sure the power switch on the recharger is off when
connecting the charger cables to the battery and when
disconnecting them.
CAUTION:
Always charge the battery in an unconfined area. Do not
charge the battery in a garage or closed room where there
is insufficient ventilation.
NOTICE:
Never recharge the battery while the engine is running.
Also, be sure all accessories are turned off.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE
BLADE TYPE FUSES
Driver’s side kick panel
Engine compartment
Spare fuses
Pull-out tool
1. Turn the ignition switch off and open the fuse box lid.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
225 Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of
the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse.
2. Make sure the inoperative component is turned off. Pull
the suspected fuse straight out with the pull-out tool and
check it. If it has blown, push a new fuse into the clips.
a. Look carefully at the fuse. If the thin wire is broken, the fuse
has blown. If you are not sure or if it is too dark to see, try
replacing the suspected fuse with one of the same value that
you know is good.
b. Install only a fuse with the amperage rating designated on
the fuse box lid.
GoodBlown
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull
out the “CIG”, “RADIO”, “DOME” or “HEATER” fuse, which
may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one lower
than, but as close as possible to, the amperage. If the
amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out
again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute
to its original clips.
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 another
object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive
damage and possibly a fire.

CHECKING THE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
Driver’s side
kick panel
Circuit breakers
In the event the defogger, air conditioning, power
windows, power door locks, or moon roof does not
operate, check its circuit breaker (C
.B).
To reset the circuit breaker, first turn the ignition switch off and
carefully insert a thin object, such as a toothpick, needle or
safety pin, into the hole in the circuit breaker and push until you
hear a click. The component should now operate. This may be
done without removing the circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker immediately goes off again or the
component does not operate, turn off the component switch
and have the electrical system checked by your Lexus dealer
as soon as possible.
CHECKING THE CARTRIDGE TYPE
FUSES
GoodMelted
If the headlights or other electrical components do not
work and the blade type fuses are O.K., check the
cartridge type fuses. If any of the cartridge type fuses are
melted, they must be replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits from the battery, the fuses
are designed to melt before the entire wiring harness is
damaged.
NOTICE:
Before replacing the fuses, have the cause of electrical
overload determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION:
Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent for
replacement. Never install an ordinary wire − even for a
temporary fix. This may cause extensive damage and
possibly a fire.
