NOTICE
Halogen bulbs get very hot when lit.
Oil, perspiration, or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to overheat and shatter.
The headlight aim is set by the factory, and does not need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry
heavy items in the cargo area or tow a trailer, have
the aiming readjusted at a dealer or by a qualified technician.
The HB3 and H11 types are halogen bulbs.
When replacing a bulb, handle it by its base, and protect the glass from contact with your skin or hard
objects. If you touch the glass, clean it with
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
The exterior lights' inside lenses (headlights, brake
lights, etc.) may fog temporarily after a car wash or while driving in the rain. This does not impact the
exterior light function.
However, if you see a large amount of water or ice accumulated inside the lenses, have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
