Light bulbs
Light bulbs are installed in various
parts of the vehicle to provide light
ing inside and outside the vehicle as
well as to alert other vehicles.
Bulb replacement precaution
Please keep extra bulbs on hand
with appropriate wattage ratings in
case of emergencies.
Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 9-
4.
When changing lamps, first turn off
the vehicle at a safe place, firmly
apply the parking brake and detach
the battery's negative (-) terminal.
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that
turn the ignition switch and turn off
the lights to avoid sudden move
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an electric
shock.
Use only bulbs of the specified
wattage.
Light replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric wir
ing system.
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. To prevent damage or fire,
make sure bulbs are fully seated
and locked.
Headlamp Lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical sol
vents or strong detergents.
