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. Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on
the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull
out the "CIG", "RADIO NO.1" or "SEAT 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 that is
lower, but as close to the rating as possible. 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.

I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
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.
You should normalize the power windows and moon roof if they
do not operate automatically or the jam protection function
does not operate correctly after replacing blown fuses. To
normalize the power windows and moon roof, see "Power
window switches" on page 40 and "Moon roof" on page 103.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any
other object, in place of a fuse.
