Adding Washer Fluid - Toyota RAV4 1997 Owner's Manual

Type A fuses can be pulled out by using
the pull-out tool. The location of the pull-
out tool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse
with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse
into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the "CIG &
RAD", "DOME" or "A/C" 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 amper-
age, use one that is lower, but as close as
possible to the rating. 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 clip.
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,

CAUTION
!
Never use a fuse with a higher
amperage rating, or any other
object, in place of a fuse. This may
cause extensive
