Where is the fuse box of the Vios located?

The fuse box of the Vios is located on the driver's side. You can open it by pulling back the large plastic panel under the front windshield. If it doesn't open easily, you can use a screwdriver to pry it open. Once opened, you will see the fuse box. The car fuse box is used to install car fuses and can be categorized by the size of the fuses: small car fuse box, medium car fuse box, and large car fuse box. The Vios adopts Toyota's Keen Look design language, making the whole car more appealing to young people. The subtle adjustments to the headlights give it a more spirited look, and the taillights use LED light sources, enhancing the overall refinement. The dimensions of the Toyota Vios are 4435mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height.
I also had a headache when I first encountered the location of the Vios fuse box. It's usually hidden in the engine compartment. After opening the hood, look to the left—there's a small black box near the battery or fan. The position is designed to avoid high-temperature areas to prevent the fuses from burning out prematurely. The first time I looked for it, I checked the manual for diagrams, and the manual marked it very clearly. I recommend that beginners be careful when opening the cover, as there are various fuses inside that control the lights, air conditioning, and more. Don’t force anything out if you’re unsure—it could lead to safety issues. Checking it periodically isn’t a bad idea, especially before the rainy season to prevent water leakage and short circuits. Personally, I think the first thing to do after buying a car is to familiarize yourself with these details to avoid panic in emergencies. Seeking help from a 4S shop is more reliable.
Having driven for over a decade, the Vios' fuse box is commonly found in two locations: one is the plastic box on the left side of the engine compartment, and the other is under the dashboard near the driver's footwell. From my experience, the one in the cabin is easier to find—just crouch down and reach sideways to feel the cover's latch. Don't worry about locating it; all Toyotas have a similar layout. Fuses protect critical components like fans or headlights, and if they blow, malfunctions can occur. It's advisable to keep a spare fuse in the car for emergencies, especially if you're left in the dark on the road. When prying open the cover, do it gently to avoid damaging the wiring. Older cars may have slight position variations, but the Vios' design is stable, so it rarely moves.
