LIGHTS
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight
lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and
replace burned out lamps promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low
light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are
adjusted properly for best visibility.
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from
your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the
lamp.
HEADLIGHT LAMP REPLACEMENT
CAUTION
Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool before servicing.
To replace the headlight lamp, do the following:
1. Access the headlamp wiring
harnesses through the front wheel
wells.
2. Unplug the headlamp from the
wiring harness. Be sure to pull on
the connector, not on the wiring.
3. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to
remove it.
4. Install the new lamp.
TIP
Make sure the tab on the lamp
locates properly in the housing.
5. Reinstall the harness assembly
into the headlight assembly.
