Replacing headlamp bulbs
WARNING: Handling Halogen Bulbs: When a halogen bulb
breaks, it is dangerous. These bulbs contain pressurized gas. If
one is broken, it will explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the flying glass. If the glass portion of the bulb is
touched with bare hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit. Never touch the glass portion of
the bulb with your bare hands and always wear eye protection
when handling or working around halogen bulbs.
Children and Halogen Bulbs: Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be caused by dropping a
halogen bulb or breaking in some other way. Always keep
halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in
OFF position, then open the
hood.
2. At the back of the headlamp,
pry up the two retainer pins to
release the headlamp assembly
from the vehicle and pull
headlamp forward.
3. Remove the bulb retaining ring
by rotating it counterclockwise
(when viewed from the rear) to
free it from the bulb socket, and
slide the ring off the plastic
base. Keep the ring to retain the
new bulb.
4. Without turning, remove the old
bulb by gently pulling it straight
back out of the lamp assembly.

used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
9I'd rather be thrown clear9Not a good idea.Peoplewho are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE.Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN'T9PICK OUR
CRASH9.
WARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid
the Safety Belt Warning Light. Sitting on the safety belt will
