Headlamps
NOTE●Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps on for a long
time while the engine is stationary (not running). A run-
down battery could result.
● When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometime s becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a
humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
