leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal bulb
For driver side replacement of the front parking lamp/turn signal
bulb, do the following:
WARNING:To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or
personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air
cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
1. Release the clamps (2) that secure the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves of the air filter housing.
3. Locate the mass air flow sensor electrical connector on the air outlet
tube (1). This connector will need to be unplugged.
4. Remove the air filter assembly.
5. Remove the bolts on the air inlet (3), then remove the air inlet.
6. Reach over the front bolster to access the bulb.
7. Remove the bulb socket by rotating it counterclockwise, then pull it
straight out of the lamp assembly.
Reverse these steps to complete the process.
For passenger side replacement of the front park/turn signal bulb,
see your authorized dealer.

Replacing stop/tail/turn and side marker bulbs
Your vehicle is equipped with a rear lamp that has a stop/tail/turn and
side marker lamp module containing integral multiple light emitting
diodes (LED). If one or more LEDs burn out, the complete lamp module
has to be replaced. See your authorized dealer for the replacement lamp.
Replacing rear turn signal bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position and open the
trunk.
2. Lift out trunk floor carpeting panel to access a luggage scuff plate
(hard molding) and a trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse side
trim panel) at the lamp area.
3. Carefully pull/push the trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse
side trim panel) outboard to expose the lamp assembly. The most
effective point to grasp the trunk side panel when pulling it out from the
luggage scuff plate is at it’s bottom edge where that edge meets the
exposed sheet metal of the trunk floor.
Note:Do not allow the trunk side panel to remain bent and untucked
from the luggage scuff plate (hard molding) for a long period of time.
Doing so may result in permanent deformation.
4. Remove the bulb socket by
rotating it counterclockwise, then
pulling it out of the lamp assembly.
5. Pull the bulb from the socket and
push in the new bulb.
6. Install the bulb socket into the
lamp assembly by rotating it
clockwise.
7. Carefully push the trunk side
panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse
side trim panel) back in position to the luggage scuff plate (hard
molding).
8. Reinstall the trunk floor carpeting panel.

Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)
The Car2UHome Automation System may be programmed to operate
rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.
•Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every
time your remote control garage door opener is used.
•Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed
code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually
programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.
If you do not know if your garage
door opener is a rolling code or
fixed code device, open your garage
door opener’s remote control battery
cover. If a panel of DIP switches is
present your garage door opener is
a fixed code device. If not, your
garage door opener is a rolling code
device.
Note:Programming the Car2Usystem to a community gate will require
a unique set of instructions depending on the gate system model.
Contact the Car2Uhelp line at 1-866-572-2728 to program your Car2U
system.
Note:Accidentally entering the program mode may override previously
programmed buttons. This can happen by pressing and releasing the
outer two buttons, or all three buttons, simultaneously. If this happens,
do not press any button until the module times out after approximately
2.5 seconds and resets to normal mode. When time-out occurs, all three
LEDs will flash rapidly for a few seconds then turn off. Any settings
should remain as previously set.
Rolling code programming
Note:Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so
you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the
time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to
repeat the procedure.
Note:Do not program the Car2Usystem with the vehicle in the garage.
