BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

PRECAUTION

HINT:
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspections or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1.

HEADLIGHT SYSTEM

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Don’t touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
2.

SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)

The LEXUS ES300 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and
front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS
to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including
removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices in the
RS section.
3.

AUDIO SYSTEM

If the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so make sure to note the stations and reset them after the negative
(–) terminal cable is reconnected to the battery.

If the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the ”ANTI–THEFT SYSTEM” will
operate when the cable is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will not operate. Be
sure to input the correct ID number so that the radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.

4.

MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to precautions in the IN section.
