Check the operation of your car's
exterior lights at least once a
month. A burned out bulb can
create an unsafe condition by
reducing your car's visibility and
the ability to signal your intentions
to other drivers.
Check the following:
Headlights (low and high beam)
Parking lights
Taillights
Brake lights
High-mount brake light
Turn signals
Back-up lights
Hazard light function
License plate light
Side marker lights
Daytime running lights
(Canadian cars)
If you find any bulbs are burned
out, replace them as soon as possi-
ble. Refer to the chart on page
211 to determine what type of
replacement bulb is needed.
Replacing a Headlight Bulb
Your car has two bulbs on each
side, four in total. Make sure you
are replacing the bulb that is
burned out. Your car uses halogen
headlight bulbs. When replacing a
bulb, handle it by its plastic case
and protect the glass from contact
with your skin or hard objects. If
you touch the glass, clean it with
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Halogen headlight bulbs get very
hot when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a
scratch on the glass can cause the
bulb to overheat and shatter.
1. Open the hood.
If you need to change the high
beam headlight bulb on the
passenger's side, remove the
radiator reserve tank by pulling
it straight up.
2. To disconnect the bulb from the
electrical harness, push on the
end of the lock tab to release the
connector then push the connec-
tor straight down.
