Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Headlamps — If Equipped
The headlamps contain a type of high voltage
discharge light source. High voltage can re-
main in the circuit even with the headlamp
switch off. Because of this, you should not
attempt to service a HID headlamp light
source yourself. If an HID headlamp light
source fails, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps,
when the headlamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately
10 seconds, as the system charges.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb
sockets of HID headlamps when the head-
lamp switch is turned ON. It may cause
serious electrical shock or electrocution if
not serviced properly. See your authorized
dealer for service.
