Headlamps
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.
1. Make sure that the headlamp
switch is in the OFF position.
2. Lift the hood and open the
hinged headlamp cover.
