Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the off position, then open the
hood.
2. Remove the three pin type retainers and the radiator sight shield.
3. Remove the front parking lamp assembly. Refer toReplacing front
parking/cornering/turn signal lamp bulbsin this section.
4. Remove the headlamp retainer
bolts and the headlamp assembly.
5. Disconnect the electrical
connector.
6. Remove the old headlamp bulb by
rotating it counterclockwise and pull
it out.
7. To install, reverse the removal
procedure. (Re-aiming the headlamps
may be necessary. For additional
information, refer to the headlamp
aiming section in this chapter.)
WARNING:Handle a halogen headlamp 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 the headlamps are operated.
Note:If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
Note:The headlamp bulb should not be removed from the headlamp
until just before a replacement bulb is installed. Removing the bulb for
an extended period of time may affect headlamp bulb performance.
Contaminants may enter the headlamp where they can settle on the lens
and reflector. Never turn the headlamps on with the bulb removed.

•Idling for long periods of time (greater than one minute) may waste
fuel.
•Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy.
•Slow down gradually.
•Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).
•Revving the engine before turning it off may reduce fuel economy.
•Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy.
•You may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if
unnecessary shifting between the top gears occurs. Unnecessary
shifting of this type could result in reduced fuel economy.
•Warming up a vehicle on cold mornings is not required and may
reduce fuel economy.
•Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving may reduce fuel
economy.
•Combine errands and minimize stop-and-go driving.
Maintenance
•Keep tires properly inflated and use only recommended size.
•Operating a vehicle with the wheels out of alignment will reduce fuel
economy.
•Use recommended engine oil. Refer toMaintenance product
specifications and capacitiesin this chapter.
•Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance items. Follow the
recommended maintenance schedule and owner maintenance checks
found inscheduled maintenance information.
Conditions
•Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy
at any speed.
•Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately
1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400 lb [180 kg] of weight carried).
•Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug
deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski racks) may reduce
fuel economy.
•Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.
