Maintenance
僅 Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into fuse/relay terminals such as a
driver or wiring. It may cause contact failure and system malfunction.
僅 Do not plug in screwdrivers or aftermarket wiring into the terminal originally designed
for fuse and relays only. The electrical system and wiring of the vehicle interior may be
damaged or burned due to contact failure.
僅 If you directly connect the wire on the taillight or replace the bulb which is over the reg-
ulated capacity to install trailers etc., the inner junction block can get burned.
僅 Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may
cause a short circuit and damage the system.
NOTE
僅 When replacing fuse, press the EV button to the OFF position and turn off switches of all
electrical devices then remove battery (-) terminal.
僅 The actual fuse/relay panel label may differ from equipped items.
