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. 378)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
■ If there is an overload in the circuits
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.
Failing 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 Toyota 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 fuses or the fuse box.
NOTICE

CAUTION
■Replacing light bulbs
● Turn off the headlights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately
after turning off the headlights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. Hold the
bulb by the plastic or metal portion.
If the bulb is scratched or dropped it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
● Do not take apart or repair the low beam discharge headlight bulbs, con-
nectors, power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.
■ High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights (if equipped)
● Contact your Toyota dealer before replacing high-intensity discharge
headlights (including light bulbs).
● Do not touch the high-intensity discharge headlight’s high voltage socket
when the headlights are turned on. An extremely high voltage of 20000V
will be discharged and could result in serious injury or death by electric
shock.
■ To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
