WARNING
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the À ying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.

Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit
using a À athead screwdriver, make
sure that the À athead screwdriver does
not contact the interior terminal. If
the À athead screwdriver contacts the
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
NOTE
  To replace the bulb, contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.

the reach of children.
