when your vehicle was new. If you
regularly carry heavy items in the
trunk, readjustment may be required.
Adjustment should be perf ormed by
an Acura dealer or other qualif ied
mechanic.
The headlight bulbs are a type of
high voltage discharge tube. High
voltage can remain in the circuit
even with the light switch off and the
key removed. Because of this, you
shouldnotattempttoexamineor
change a headlight bulb yourself . If a
headlight bulb f ails, take your
vehicle to a dealer to have it replaced.Remove the left or right side
engine compartment cover f rom

caref ully pulling the cover out.
If youarereplacingthebulbon

f astener pins and pulling the cover
out. Then remove the upper part
of the air intake duct by pulling it
