Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, or any bulb changing
procedure not listed in this section,
contact your dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent
bulbs with aftermarket LED
replacement bulbs. This can
cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system.
Halogen Bulbs
{Warning
Halogen bulbs have pressurized
gas inside and can burst if you
drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure
to read and follow the instructions
on the bulb package.
High Intensity Discharge
(HID) Lighting
{Warning
The High Intensity Discharge
(HID) lighting system operates at
a very high voltage. If you try to
service any of the system
components, you could be
seriously injured. Have your
dealer or a qualified technician
service them.
After an HID headlamp bulb has
been replaced, the beam might be a
slightly different shade than it was
originally. This is normal.
LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED lamps.
For replacement of any LED lighting
assembly, contact your dealer.
Back-Up Lamps
For the base and the uplevel
taillamp assembly, only the back-up
bulb is replaceable. Removal of the
taillamp assembly is not necessary
to change this bulb.
To replace one of these bulbs: 1. Open the trunk. See Trunk
0 40.
2. Remove the three pushpin fasteners and cover.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it.

4. Pull the old bulb straight out ofthe bulb socket.
5. Push the new bulb straight into the bulb socket until it clicks.
6. Turn the bulb socket clockwise to reinstall.
7. Install the three pushpin fasteners and cover.
License Plate Lamp
To replace one of these bulbs:
1. Unclip the license plate lampfrom the fascia opening. 2. Pull the license plate lamp
down through the fascia
opening.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise and pull the
bulb straight out of the lamp
socket.
4. Install the new bulb.
5. Push the bulb straight into the socket and turn clockwise to
reinstall.
6. Reinstall the license plate lamp by lifting it through the fascia
opening until the clip is in
place.
Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit
until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed. This
greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by
electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be
borrowed. Choose some feature of
the vehicle that is not needed to use
and replace it as soon as possible.
