Bulb Replacement - Chevrolet Cruze Owner's Manual

118 Vehicle care
Properly functioning windshield wip-
ers are essential for clear vision and
safe driving. Regularly check the con-
dition of the wiper blades. Replace
hard, brittle or cracked blades or those
that smear dirt on the windshield.
Foreign material on the windshield or
wiper blades can reduce the effectiveness
of the wipers. If the blades are not wiping
properly, clean both the windshield and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent. Rinse them thoroughly with
water.
Repeat the process, if necessary. There is
no way to remove traces of silicone from
glass. Therefore, never apply polish with
silicone to your vehicle's windshield or
you will get streaks which will impair the
driver's vision.
Do not use solvents, gasoline, kerosene,
or paint thinner to clean wipers. These are
harsh and can damage the blades and
painted surfaces.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Switch off the ignition and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base! Do not
touch the bulb glass with bare hands.
Use only the same bulb type for replace-
ment.
Replace headlight bulbs from within
the engine compartment.
Note
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty.
This condition is caused by the tem-
perature difference between the
lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation
on your windows inside your vehi-
cle during the rain and doesn't indi-
cate a problem with your vehicle.
If the water leaks into the lamp bulb
circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by a CHEVROLET retailer.
HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS
Low beam and high beam
1. Detach plug connector from bulb.
2. Remove protective cover.
Warning
The same rating of the bulb to be used
during replacement and any usage of
higher wattage bulbs can cause
thermal issues such as melting of lamp
housing and its surrounding parts.
Warranty would be void if higher
wattage bulbs are being used.
