temperatures. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the

Replacing Light Bulbs
Headlight Bulbs
When replacing, use the following bulbs.
1.Remove the engine coolant reservoir.
2. Remove the fasteners, using a flat-tip
screwdriver. Remove the cover of the air
intake duct and its upper part.
High beam headlight:60 W (HB3 for halogen bulb type)
Low beam headlight:35 W (D2S for high voltage discharge type)
■High Beam Headlight
1Headlight Bulbs
NOTICEHalogen bulbs get very hot when lit.
Oil, perspiration, or a scra tch 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 ar ea or tow a trailer, have
the aiming readjusted at a dealer or by a qualified
technician.
When replacing a halogen 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
lamps, 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.
