Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal bulb
For driver side replacement of the front parking lamp/turn signal
bulb, do the following:
WARNING:To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or
personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air
cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
1. Release the clamps (2) that secure the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves of the air filter housing.
3. Locate the mass air flow sensor electrical connector on the air outlet
tube (1). This connector will need to be unplugged.
4. Remove the air filter assembly.
5. Remove the bolts on the air inlet (3), then remove the air inlet.
6. Reach over the front bolster to access the bulb.
7. Remove the bulb socket by rotating it counterclockwise, then pull it

For passenger side replacement of the front park/turn signal bulb,
see your authorized dealer.
Replacing stop/tail/turn and side marker bulbs
Your vehicle is equipped with a rear lamp that has a stop/tail/turn and
side marker lamp module containing integral multiple light emitting
diodes (LED). If one or more LEDs burn out, the complete lamp module
has to be replaced. See your authorized dealer for the replacement lamp.
Replacing rear turn signal bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position and open the
trunk.
2. Lift out trunk floor carpeting panel to access a luggage scuff plate
(hard molding) shingles and a trunk side panel (dark grey, soft
wheelhouse side trim panel) at the lamp area.
3. Carefully pull/push the trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse
side trim panel) outboard to expose the lamp assembly. The most
effective point to grasp the trunk side panel when pulling it out from the
luggage scuff plate is at it’s bottom edge where that edge meets the
exposed sheet metal of the trunk floor.
Note:Do not allow the trunk side panel to remain bent and untucked
from the luggage scuff plate (hard molding) for a long period of time.
Doing so may result in permanent deformation.
4. Remove the bulb socket by
rotating it counterclockwise, then
pulling it out of the lamp assembly.
5. Pull the bulb from the socket and
push in the new bulb.
6. Install the bulb socket into the
lamp assembly by rotating it
clockwise.
7. Carefully push the trunk side
panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse
side trim panel) back to the shingle position to the luggage scuff plate
(hard molding).
8. Reinstall the trunk floor carpeting panel.

Replacing backup lamp/redundant tail lamp
The backup lamp and redundant tail lamps are located in the trunk lid.
Follow the same steps to replace either lamp.
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is
in the off position and open trunk to
access the lamp assembly.
2. Position the decklid trim aside by
removing 3 to 4 pin-type retainers
to expose the lamp assembly.
3. Remove the bulb socket by
rotating it counterclockwise, then
pull it out of the lamp assembly.
4. Pull the bulb from the socket and
push in the new bulb.
5. Install the bulb socket into the
lamp assembly by rotating it
clockwise.
6. Carefully reposition the trim back
to its original position and secure
the retainers.
Replacing high-mount brake lamp bulb
1. Make sure the ignition control is
in the off position.
2. Open the trunk and reach
underneath package tray to locate
lamp assembly.
3. Remove the bulb socket by
rotating it counterclockwise, then
pull it out of the lamp assembly.
4. Pull the bulb straight from the
socket and push in the new bulb.
5. Install the bulb socket into the lamp assembly by rotating it clockwise.

in the off position.
2. From underneath the vehicle,
partially remove the tire splash
shield by removing four drive
screws.
After removing to allow free access
to the front fog lamp bulb and
electrical wire harness, the splash shield flap can be repositioned.
3. Rotate the harness/bulb assembly
counterclockwise to remove from
the fog lamp.
4. Carefully disconnect the bulb
from the harness assembly via the
two snap clips.

STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power steering system:
•Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
•Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
•Some noise is normal during operation. If excessive, check for low
power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.
•Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering
pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your authorized dealer.
•Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on
the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists your
authorized dealer in properly servicing your vehicle. When theService
engine soon
indicator illuminates, the OBD-II system has detected
a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause theService engine
soon
indicator to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run
poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have been properly closed. SeeEasy Fuel™
“no cap” fuel systemin this chapter.
4. Driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the
electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any
other temporary malfunctions present, theService engine soon
indicator should stay off the next time the engine is started. A driving
cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway
driving. No additional vehicle service is required.
If theService engine soon
indicator remains on, have your vehicle
serviced at the first available opportunity. Although some malfunctions
detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with theService engine soon
indicator on can
result in increased emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced engine and
transmission smoothness, and lead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing
Some state/provincial and local governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to inspect the emission control
equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent
you from getting a vehicle registration. Your vehicle may not pass the I/M
test if theService engine soon
indicator is on or not working
properly (bulb is burned out), or if the OBD-II system has determined
that some of the emission control systems have not been properly
checked. In this case, the vehicle is considered not ready for I/M testing.
If theService engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb does not
work, the vehicle may need to be serviced. Refer to the On board
diagnostics (OBD-II) description in this chapter.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has just been serviced, or the
battery has recently run down or been replaced, the OBD-II system may
