zontal direction.
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight
beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the
beam level, do not turn on the lamp for more
than two minutes.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure
of the following:
•Check the area around the headlight for any
scratches, damage or other type of deformation.
•Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level
surface.
•Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are
correct.
•Check that the vehicle fuel tank is full.
1) Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize
the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv-
er's seat.

Headlight Bulb
LIGHTING SYSTEM
11.Headlight Bulb
A: REMOVAL
1. HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM
CAUTION:
•Because the halogen bulb operates at a high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface re-
duces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange
portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch
the glass portion.
•Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for
a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the
headlight may affect its performance.
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct. (When removing the
headlight bulb RH)
3) Remove the battery. (When removing the head-
light bulb LH)
4) Disconnect the harness connector.
5) Remove the bulb assembly (A) then remove the
high beam. To remove the low beam, remove the
back cover (B), and then go to the next step.
6) Remove the light bulb retaining spring (A) to re-
move bulb.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: INSPECTION
1) Visually check the bulb for blow out.
2) Check the bulb specification.
