Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100622
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin
oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector and dim the surface.NOTE●If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
we recommend you to consult a specialist.
●Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a lamp and lens.
●When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes 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.
CAUTION
!●If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short
time, we recommend you to have the electrical sys-
tem checked to find the cause and rectify it.●Never use a fuse with a capacity larger than that
specified or any substitute, such as wire, foil, etc.;
doing so will cause the circuit wiring to heat up and
could cause a fire.
CAUTION
!●Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently
before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
