INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Bulb replacement

CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after turning
off lights. This is true especially for
halogen headlight bulbs. Replace
the bulbs after they become cool
enough.
• The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
• To avoid injury by sharp-edged
parts of the body, wear gloves and
a long-sleeved shirt when replacing
light bulbs.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent bulb replacement indicates
the need for an inspection of the elec-
trical system. This should be carried
out by your SUZUKI dealer.
