VEHICLE STORAGE

If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than 21
days, you may want to take these steps to protect your
battery.
• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of

service (e.g., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the

air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.

BULB REPLACEMENT

NOTE:

Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-

spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric
conditions change to allow the condensation to change
back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate the clearing process.

Low Beam And High Beam Headlamp

High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID) — If
Equipped

The headlamps are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the ignition turned to the OFF
position. Because of this, you should not attempt to
service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service.

WARNING!

A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb sockets of
HID headlamps when the headlamp switch is turned
ON. It may cause serious electrical shock or electro-
cution if not serviced properly. See your authorized
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.

Standard Low Beam And High Beam Headlamp

1. Open the hood.

NOTE:

Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be

necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp
assembly on the driver side of the vehicle.

2. Reach behind the headlamp housing to access the

headlamp (outboard) bulb cap.

3. Firmly grasp the cap and rotate it counterclockwise to

unlock it.

4. Twist the headlamp bulb assembly counterclockwise,

and then pull it out of the headlamp assembly.

5. Disconnect the bulb from the wiring assembly and

6. Reinstall the bulb and wiring assembly into the head-

lamp assembly, and then turn it clockwise.

7. Install the headlamp bulb cap in the headlamp hous-

ing and rotate it clockwise to lock it.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this
manual must be done at the times or mileages specified
to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best
vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent main-
tenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip
driving. Inspection and service should also be done
anytime a malfunction is suspected.

The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles, “Oil Change Required” will be dis-
played in the EVIC and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change
indicator message will illuminate. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).

NOTE:

• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the

time since the last oil change. Change your vehicle’s oil
if it has been six months since your last oil change,
even if the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.

• Change your engine oil more often if you drive your

vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.

• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals

exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or six months, which-
ever comes first.

referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.

At Each Stop For Fuel
• Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Maintenance

Procedures/Engine Oil” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if

required.

Once A Month
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals

as required.

• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, and power steering, and add as
needed.

• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct

operation.

At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.

CAUTION!

Failure to perform the required maintenance items
may result in damage to the vehicle.
