in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient

(Note, however, that service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in 
effect.) Refer to the separate maintenance booklet for detailed maintenance and 
inspection information.■Daily inspections
Perform inspections before long distance trips, when washing the vehicle, or when 
refueling.■Periodic inspections

■Types of Inspection and Maintenance
1Inspection and Maintenance
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of 
emissions control devices and systems may be 
done by any automotive repair establishment or 
individuals using parts that are “certified” to 
EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to 
perform maintenance on the maintenance main 
items marked with # will not void your emissions 
warranties. However, all maintenance services should 
be performed in accordance with the intervals 
indicated by the information display.

3.Rotate the old bulb to the left to remove.
4.Insert a new bulb into the headlight 
assembly and turn it to the right.

60W (HB3 for halogen bulb type)
Low beam headlight:
55W (H11 for halogen bulb type)
■High Beam Headlight
1Headlight BulbsNOTICEHalogen 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.
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 
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.
