INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

53MH0-74E

Bulb Replacement

Interior Light

53M-09-046

Pull down the lens by using a flat blade
screwdriver covered with a soft cloth as
shown. To install it, simply push it back in.
The bulb can be removed by simply pulling
it out. When replacing the bulb, make sure
that the contact springs are holding the
bulb securely.

Headlight

53M-09-049

Disconnect the coupler (1). Remove the
sealing rubber (2). Push the retaining
spring (3) forward and unhook it. Then
remove the bulb. Install a new bulb in the
reverse order.

CAUTION

• Light bulbs can be hot enough to

burn your finger right after being

turned off. This is true especially

for halogen headlight bulbs.

Replace the bulbs after they

become cool enough.

• The headlight bulbs are filled with

pressurized halogen gas. They can

burst and injure you if they are hit

or dropped. Handle them carefully.

NOTICE

The oils from your skin may cause a

halogen bulb to overheat and burst

when the lights are on. Grasp a new

bulb with a clean cloth.

NOTICE

Frequent replacement of a bulb indi-

cates the need for an inspection of

the electrical system. This should be

carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKI

dealer.
