Lights
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
Tail lights
Brake lights
Turn signals
Back-up lights
Hazard light function
License plate light
Side marker lights
If you find any bulbs are burned out,
replace them as soon as possible.
Refer to the chart on page
209
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.
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. Lift the hood and remove the
cover from the front compartment
fuse box.
2. Use the label on the fuse box
cover to locate the fuse for the
headlight motor. Remove the fuse
with the fuse remover located in
the interior fuse box.
