Maintenance and care
WARNING
QReplacing light bulbs
O Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
O Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
O Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
O Do not attempt to repair or disassemble light bulbs, connectors, electric
circuits or component parts.
Doing so may result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
Q To prevent damage or fire
O Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
O Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.
NOTICE
QWhen replacing the outer foot lights
If the front window is stopping you from conducting the replace operation
properly, open the window on the side you are working on to allow you
enough space to work. Continuing the operation without giving yourself
enough space to work could lead you to scratch the vehicle.
