Useful advice for emergencies
When a lamp has burn out
Whenever replacing a lamp, be sure to place the
starter switch in the "LOCK" position and all other
switches in the OFF position.
WARNING
Use a lamp of the specified voltage and watt-
age shown in the following table. If a wrong
lamp is used, an excess of current flowing
through the wiring could blow a fuse or
cause the wiring to overheat and could pos-
sibly cause a fire.
CAUTION
•
Do not directly touch the glass part of a halo-
gen bulb with your fingers. Any oil and other
substances contaminating the glass surface
could shorten the bulb's service life.
•
The turn signal lamps have plastic lenses.
Do not clean these lenses with alcohol or
thinner. Also, be careful not to splash brake
fluid on them when adding it to the braking
system. Contact with such a substance
could discolor or crack the lenses. If such a
substance gets on a plastic lens, immedi-
ately wipe it off or rinse it off with water.
•
Burnt bulbs should be replaced as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
In rainy weather and when the vehicle is washed,
condensation can form on the inside surfaces of the
headlamp lenses. Just as the windows mist up in
rainy weather, the condensation forms owing to a
temperature difference between the inside and out-
side. This phenomenon does not affect the head-
lamps' functionality. It disappears naturally.
