1992 HONDA PRELUDE turn signal bulb

Indicator Lights

Four Wheel Steering

System (4WS)
Indicator

Only on cars equipped with electronic

four wheel steering

This light normally comes on when you turn the ignition ON (II) and
goes off after the engine starts. If it
comes on at any other time, there is
a problem in the 4WS. If this
happens, stop the car in a safe placeand turn off the engine. Reset the
system by restarting the engine.
Watch the 4WS light. If it does not
go off, or comes back on again
while driving, take the car to yourdealer to have the system checked.
The 4WS system is disabled with this light on. The rear wheels are
locked straight ahead, and your car
steers like a conventional car
without 4WS.
Turn Signal and

Hazard Warning

Indicators

The left or right turn signal light
blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If the light does not
blink or blinks rapidly, it usually
means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see page 164).Replace it as soon as possible, since
other driver s
cannot see that you
are signaling.
When you turn on the Hazard
Warning switch, both turn signal
lights blink. All turn signals on the outside of the car should flash.

High Beam Indicator

This light comes on with the high
beam headlights. See page 40 for information on the headlight
controls.

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
Taillights
Brake lights
High-mount brake light
Turn signals Back-up lights
Hazard light function
License plate light
Side marker lights
Daytime running lights
(Canadian cars)

If you find any
bulbs are burned
out, replace them as soon as
possible. Refer to the chart on page
207 to determine what

type of
replacement bulb is needed.
Replacing a Headligh
t 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. Open the hood.

If you need to change the high

beam headlight bulb
on
the

passenger's side, remove the

radiator reserve tank by pulling
it straight up.
2. To disconnect the bulb from the
electrical harness, push on the

end of the lock tab to release the
connector then push the connec-
tor straight down.
