WARNING

■

Replacing light bulbs

Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to
replace the bulb immediately after

turning off the lights. The bulbs

become very hot and may cause
burns.

●

Do not touch the glass portion of
the light bulb with bare hands.

When it is unavoidable to hold the

glass portion, use and hold with a
clean dry cloth to avoid getting

moisture and oils on the bulb. Also,

if the bulb is scratched or dropped,
it may blow out or crack.

●

Fully install light bulbs and any
parts used to secure them. Failure

to do so may result in heat damage,

fire, or water entering the light unit.
This may damage the lights or

cause condensation to build up on

the lens.

■

To prevent damage or fire

Make sure bulbs are fully seated and
locked.

vehicle. Without adequate clear-

ance, the vehicle could be dam-

aged while being towed.
