HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURN
SIGNAL SWITCH
12L003
For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch is off.
12L004
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ”ON” position.
The turn signal is selfcancelling after a turn, but after a lane change,
you may have to cancel it by hand. You can also signal a lane change
by moving the turn signal lever partway and holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster than normal,
it indicates that the front or rear turn signal bulb has burned out. If
this indicator light does not come on, the fuse or the indicator light
itself has probably failed.

CHECKING THE CARTRIDGE TYPE
FUSES

Melted
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 blown, they must be replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits from the battery, the fuses are
designed to blow 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 wireeven for a
temporary fix. This may cause extensive damage and possibly
a fire.
