at least four idle periods.

EXTERIOR BULBS
Replacing exterior bulbs
It is a good idea to check the operation of the following lights frequently:
²Headlamps
²Turn signals
²Foglamps (if equipped)
²High-mount brakelamp
²Tail lamps
²Brakelamps
²Backup lamps
²License plate lamp
²Hazard flashers
Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter
the lamp housings and affect performance.
Handle a halogen bulb carefully and keep out of children's reach.
Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the
glass; the oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next
time that the headlamps are operated.
