Maintenance and care

EXTERIOR BULBS

Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of the following lamps frequently:
• Headlamps
• Foglamps (if equipped)
• High-mount brakelamp
• Brakelamps
• Turn signals
• License plate lamp
• Tail lamps
• Back-up lamps
Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they can be replaced immediately with
new ones. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect lamp performance.

Replacing headlamp bulbs

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.
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. At the back of the headlamp, pull
clips rearward and up (about
inch) to release the headlamp
assembly.
4. Slide headlamp assembly forward
and off of guide ribs to expose the
back of the bulb and wiring
connector.
