6-39 Vehicle Storage
If you're not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative (
-) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren't careful. See ªJump Startingº in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent
Featureº in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulb, see ªReplacement
Bulbsº in the Index.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this section,
contact your dealer.
Halogen Bulbs
CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside
and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb.
You or others could be injured. Be sure to read
and follow the instructions on the bulb package.

6-40 Headlamps
Before replacing a headlamp bulb that does not light,
check to make sure that the wiring connector is securely
fastened to it.
See ªReplacement Bulbsº in the Index to check the
type of headlamp bulb you need to use before you
begin to replace the headlamp bulb. You must replace
a headlamp bulb with one that is exactly the same.
To replace a headlamp, do the following:
1. Open the headlamp door by turning the headlamps
on, then turning the switch back to the parking lamps
position. See ªHeadlamp Doorsº in the Index for
more information.
2. Remove the bezel by removing the three main screws.
