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)
Auxiliary lights
Parking lights
Taillights
Brake lights
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
possible. Refer to the chart on page
169 to determine what type of
replacement bulb is needed.

Replacing a Headlight Bulb
Your car has halogen headlight
bulbs, one on each side. When
replacing a bulb, handle it by its
steel base 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.
