4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing light bulbs

Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota products designed for this
vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent
overload, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
CAUTION
 To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or
injury.
 Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that 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.
 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, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
 Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional as soon as possible.
